I went over to my parents' house where my ptsd Vietnam vet conspiracy theory nutcase uncle joined us.  He sat in my mom's rocker most of the day with his laptop while we watched football.  Every few minutes he would look up and say, "did you know..." and then launch into another easily debunked falsehood.  My parents go easy around him but I wasn't having it.  I would look him in the eyes and say "That's bullshit.  Where are you getting your information?  Whatever site you are on is full of shit."  "Well, it's Youtube."  As if that meant that the info was vetted.  I would then pull out my phone and show him real sources.  He would grow quiet and go back to the laptop and then pop off with the next bit of fiction.  What fucking world is he living in?  I missed the opportunity but should have said, "do your own research."  Dammit.
