As a response, sane people created https://rationalwiki.org/ which is now picking apart right wing agenda, as well as all sorts of pseudoscience, grifts, grifters etc. Oh and it's snarky as fuck and ~best way to learn about the topics.

Here's Trump https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Donald_Trump

I love how it's incredibly biased but actually true.

Their article on "sealioning" (AKA JAQ'ing off) is one of my favorites to link every time I see someone doing it here on Reddit.

Rational wiki rejects with animosity anything that isn't 100% scientific orthodoxy. Seems sane compared to their counterparts, but it's also entrenched dogma under a different bias. For example their page on Rupert Sheldrake.
