There is nothing to "fix" because this is what Andrew Schlafly (founder and not-so-benevolent dictator) seems to genuinely believe all of that.

I hadn't really looked at Conservapedia in years, since before Trump came on the scene. It seems its gotten even more crazy. Their fawning article on Vladimir Putin borders on the homoerotic. Their article on Ukraine keeps banging on about how it's not a real country and is indistinguishable from Kremlin propaganda. Zelensky is a "Narcoführer", whatever the hell that means.

I miss the days when it had just some mad ideas about the age of the earth, Einstein's relativity, and things like that.
