The reactions of the Trumpist influencers on social media (with their millions of followers) to the release of the graphic, horrifying #PaulPelosi video illustrates that you simply cannot beat conspiracy theories with reality. Any seemingly contradictory fact can be folded into the conspiracy. Right now, they are split between saying the video proves it was a lover's quarrel (b/c Pelosi is holding a drink) and it is a deepfake. Either way, though, the conspiracy survives.
