Alex Jones’ day of reckoning has arrived. A jury in Connecticut decided that the right-wing conspiracy theorist should pay eight families of Sandy Hook shooting victims and a first-responder a staggering $965 million. The decision comes shortly after a trial in Texas where a jury found that the Infowars founder should pay a separate pair of Sandy Hook parents who sued him in the Lone Star state nearly $50 million.
While Jones may face a reckoning, nearly a decade after his heinous lie about the Sandy Hook shooting, the corrosive blueprint that catapulted him to fame and fortune on the political right is here to stay. It is impossible to unwind. And it is more popular than ever, mimicked by former President Donald Trump, right-wing cable channels such as Fox News, talk-radio hosts , and innumerable online influencers who command sizable followings on social media platforms.

oliverdarcy What if you use your platform to work to dismantle it? We need to pull back from the edge and reestablish shared values of decency, honesty, empathy. Less analysis, more advocacy. No one has the luxury of being a bystander.
