I would imagine that it's just a coincidence. Still, it's getting harder and harder to distinguish insane fact from feverish fiction these days.

Idea: a Twitter party game where I make a statement about something absolutely ludicrous that supposedly happened at #CPAC2021, and you have to guess if it's true or false.

Example: A sitting GOP congressman spoke at #CPAC2021 less than 12 hours after addressing a gathering of white nationalists. True or false? (True)

Example: All #CPAC2021 speakers were required to genuflect to a big golden statue of Donald Trump before mounting the podium. (False; there was such a golden statue, but no one was required to kneel).

Example: A sitting GOP senator lightheartedly joked about abandoning his state during a natural disaster, in order to take a foreign beach vacation, to own the libs. (True)

Example: A #CPAC2021 panelist declared that clearly the wrong side won World War II. (False. Though an ultra-nationalist from Japan, who has said this, did have a booth in the lobby.)

Clearly a lot of the "false" ones are trick questions.
