Mr. McIndoe, too, marinated in conspiracies. For his first 18 years, he grew up in a deeply conservative and religious community with seven siblings outside Cincinnati, then in rural Arkansas. He was home-schooled, taught that “evolution was a massive brainwashing plan by the Democrats and Obama was the Antichrist,” he said.
He read books like “Remote Control,” about what it said were hidden anti-Christianity messages from Hollywood. In high school, social media offered a gateway to mainstream culture. Mr. McIndoe began watching Philip DeFranco and other popular YouTubers who talked about current events and pop culture, and went on Reddit to find new viewpoints.

That's one I have encountered before. Specifically Betty, the little old lady who made chili for the ski hill when I was a little kid. I complained that I found some sort of unchewable wood product in the beans and she tried to invoke the tradition.
I lived in a share house at uni where we would have supper together. One of the people in the house claimed it was a tradition that whoever found a bay leaf in their food had to kiss the cook. I introduced this to my brother and it became his family tradition, too. For that reason alone, bay leaves are not bullshit.

That Trump is really a Soviet sleeper agent, awoke. Hates German Chancellor, loves Putin and Little Rocket-man and only loves women from the Caucasus. Loves Soviet style milItaly parades with big rockets.
