What's the term?
The writer of the Feb. 11 letter ââSophisticatedâ readersâ doesnât like that the Journal called some Republicans âgullibleâ (âTrumpâs trial begins,â Feb. 7).
Iâd like to know, then â maybe some conservative will be good enough to tell us â what do we call people who listen to and believe Alex Jonesâ heated ramblings? What do we call people who believe anything Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity say, no matter how crazy or illogical?
What do we call people who uncritically accept anonymous Facebook memes claiming that every public Democrat is somehow related to George Soros? And what about QAnon followers, who truly believe that Democrats are a bunch of blood-drinking pedophiles? Who to this day believe that thereâs a basement below Comet Ping Pong in D.C. where Satan-worshipping liberals, including Tom Hanks, feast on the flesh of babies? Are they just âconservativesâ? Is that what a conservative is today?
