I’ve never understood the whole thing about “conspiracy theories” being an existential “threat to democracy”. People voting based on their beliefs is the definition of democracy. The argument that people believing things you believe are wrong is a threat to democracy is the actual danger here. Make a better case for what you believe.

To your point they are literally saying freedom of belief is a threat to democracy, I don’t think they actually want democracy.
