      I wanted to believe it was just the PR firm behind KHive trying to keep getting a paycheck, but then one of my damn boomer (lib) family members started in with the "Trump faked being shot" stuff and earnestly bought into it, instead of just sticking to the acceptable level of bemused apathy hedged with "I wouldn't put it past the prick." I swear they just want their own QAnon because they felt left out of all the Comet Ping Pong stuff.

      I think there's a point where your position is so embedded in the clout sphere that openly supporting someone or something is effectively your only real job and you just have to keep up the kayfabe.
