A good friend of mine actually thinks this too... i was shocked, and she is fairly well educated woman!! I really didn’t know what to say...
This crap is all over YouTube. There's about a million people out there posting this nonsense whenever they can take time off from making videos about the mandella effect.
Well the earth is flat - but with a bit of a curvature.
A casual aquantence of mine recently informed me about his belief in “crisis Actors” and that the Orlando and San Bernadino shootings and 9/11 (among others) were all staged events. He was “all in” on these theroies. He is otherwise a very nice guy normal sounding guy. I was shocked!
Go to youtube and search flat earth. Liberals, regardless of education, will fall for this tripe. Some of the videos are amazingly well done and are very convincing, if you ignore some basic facts - like during telephone conversations with my daughter, how far the moon is off the horizon here in KY vs how far it is off the horizon in California, where she lives.
There are many other ways just as sound to disprove it.
But the liberal mind is an interesting thing.
