Should we bother? Roseanne Barr is a deranged conspiracy theorist who has represented both leftwing-oriented and, more recently, rightwing-oriented nonsense: at one point, she endorsed dingbat loon Cynthia McKinney; more recently, she’s been a vocal defender of the Trump. Throughout her career, she has promoteda number of conspiracy theories – e.g. about Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg, the murder of Seth Rich, George Soros (but of course), chemtrails and COVID-19 (a conspiracy to get rid of baby boomers) – and possibly invented some of her own, including conspiracy theories about why she is promoting such stuff. In particular, she started promoting QAnon conspiracy theories before it was mainstream.
Diagnosis: Bah. Total bullshit, the whole character. Just forget her, shall we?
I never could stand Barr, even when she was a "comedian."

ReplyDeleteSome time in the last year or two, Bill Maher concluded an episode of his HBO show, "Real Time," with a monologue directed at Roseanne Barr. He basically asked her, "What the hell happened to you?"
ReplyDeleteMaher stated that he had known the woman for 30 years, considered her a friend, and was genuinely concerned about her mental health. As far as I know, Barr never responded.
