Deniers.
My niece in her late 20s has some mental health history. She has turned into a full on denier, its all a lie, its reset, its conspiracy etc. Her mum is a nurse in a hospice. Her aunt (my wife) is a nurse in a hospice. Also in the family are GPs, scientists and laborartory staff.
Everything we say is wrong and lies. We have all been deleted, one by one, from her Facebbok account as and when anyone has questioned her.
She does not realise that she has not had one single "friend" replying to her posts actually agreeing with her. I asked her where did she think this was all going to go, once we are through the other end does she realise she will have no friends and relatives left who will care about her as she has deliberately alientated them? She never responded but deleted instead.
It is so sad to see, however it is also very interesting to see how it all happens. From originally seeing a random shared conspiracy theory online, she was drawn in by the perpretators of it all and before you know it, she is in the fully gullible category.
