For me I think it has to be Russiagate. It’s just become a catch all for centrist libs to refuse to believe anything bad about their team, make up crazy conspiracies about anyone to their left or right, dismiss every contradiction of capitalism as “Russian interference”. It’s maddening. At least the RWNJ conspiracies like Q and the Alex Jones shit are usually pretty funny because of how ridiculous they are, russiagate doesn’t even have that going for it.

What are some other contenders?

    The belief that getting rid of Trump and "returning to normalcy" is the most important goal ever

      The lib political imagination is incredibly circumscribed. It's either a failure or success by the American education system, depending on how cynical I am at any moment.

          Yep! The average American's politics are purely reaction to events, not driven by any framework.

          And unfortunately, I think that's likely to get worse.
