But Nobody Really Believes That

This should be just a quick one as a reminder to those who hand wave away conspiracy mentality.  From recent social media activity:



 

Well, I can easily make 666 reference Trump if I follow the same lack of rules and add random letters and misspell names.  (Note the inconsistency in spelling Barak which is in the same social media post).

Your two main options are:

1). A true believer expressing their right to free speech who genuinely feels that Obama is the Antichrist.

2). Purposeful disinformation with an agenda.

with some minor chances for:

3). LARPing for attention.

4).  Someone needs a good therapist.

Just the same as ignorance of the law is no excuse to break, ignorance of facts is no excuse to spread misinformation or disinformation.  The members of society with critical thinking skills fail to see what is gained by free speech that is clearly bad information.  People can and do post things like this on a daily basis.  The OP here has a new account (July 2023) that is loaded with bigoted memes and here can be seen to likely be trolling someone who called him out on his Qanon nonsense.  Ultimately, it doesn’t matter if the source is a true believer or not.  Bad information is still bad information.
