Of course, this was never in doubt. The right wing of the USA has become increasingly un-tethered from reality in the past decade or so and the gap between their beliefs and reality has been repeatedly shown to be false.

"We've gone from Big Mistake to Big Lie. The official GOP response to the power outage is now in the same moral and intellectual universe as Stop the Steal and Jan 6 was a false-flag antifa operation. No acceptance of reality, let alone responsibility."

I'd say most people who spend an inordinate amount of time focusing on politics, particularly party politics, have become untethered from reality.

Everything is political. Someone's "politics" is just shorthand for "This is how I think other people should be treated".

Everything is not political and the only people that say things like that want to forcibly inject their political ideology into unwilling peoples lives.

You must live a life of unimaginable privilege if this is what you believe and I'm sorry if thinking about that makes you uncomfortable.
