It would be one thing if we as a society were faced with the threat of a flat earth caucus imposing some kind of flat earth inspired authoritarian regime. But it's just dumb people with dumb notions about reality.
It's no more threatening than astrology, or crystals, or believing that Himalayan salt lamps produce healthy negative ions.
It's considerably less threatening than anti-vaccine, or homeopathy, or centralized federal power.
