What I have noticed...is that many posters who are entirely sensible about Canadian politics are totally unhinged when it comes to US politics, and vise-versa...

What a difference a country, or politician, etc., makes, I suppose..it is interesting though, that fanciful rumor can look totally plausible, or easily seen through, depending on the colour of ones' glasses...

Why someone who can spot the "Harpers' wife is about to divorce him/Harper will declare martial law and seize power if he loses" for what it is, can't see the "child slavery in a pizza palour/Seth Rich" stories as unhinged lunacy, or that someone who can put the obvious dots together on "Manafort, Flynn, Trumps' sons openly talking about Russian money", falls for "the Conservative party of Canada will declare a Christian Theocracy" is something that a professor somewhere needs to study...bigly.
