... has the same trend as any other TikTok trend. And I wouldn't compare the storm of the Capitol with something dumb as Area 51. I agree it is ridiculous (this latest UFO craze), but keep in mind that what happened on Jan 6th ALSO started out as something dumb. Wacky conspiracy theories can turn very dark. Pizza-gate was laughable until somebody decided to "take action" and those same sentiments poured into the q-anon "movement" and influenced many of the participants of the capitol riot. There has been, lately it seems, interest in UFO stuff on the right-wing fringes. Tucker Carlson and Glenn Beck have both been dabbling with this stuff. Elizondo and Grusch are thrilled to appear on any show that will take them, and now Elizondo is doing a speaking tour with his book. It could easily pivot into some bizarre and harmful stuff. At the very least, we're already seeing more politicians willing appease their conspiracy-minded voter base with lip-service to trashy UAP conspiracies.
