Call out conspiracy belief on the Right

As much as I thought Biden's speech on the weekend was pretty great for what was needed at the time, I do hope he, at some point, makes this clear:   the Right in America needs to stop living in the world of conspiracy belief.   Denying climate change was their entry drug;  Qanon is the ridiculous end.   But things like believing a widespread organised system of election fraud is plausible is still, at heart, a belief in a conspiracy, and they to stop being so gullible.

People need to be told when they are being ridiculous.

no stupid conspiracy ( yeah I know it is a tautology) and no Catallaxy

I think most of the Right will settle down and recognise that generating so many nutty ideas to rationalise away losing elections is a no win game for them. Of course the vocal remnant like those at Catallaxy will remain, they will never concede the point that they are sore losers now complaining and playing the victim card.
