Some of those Democrats actually had information that it was not true but continued to spout this consiracy theory on TV almost daily. That guy was Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Ca). Schiff also claimed that he had evidence of this theory but of course he never shared it.
So let's ask a question. Which conspiracy theory, Rep. Green's idiot belief in Q-Anon or Rep. Schiff's idiot belief in a Russian under every bed did or will do more harm?
Imagine for a second that the stars lined up for the Dems and they used the Russian collusion accusation to have Trump removed from office. No amount of belief in any Q-Anon nonsense would have come close to the harm that would have done to the American Republic. But these conspiracy believers were doing everything they could to make it happen. And remember ... they were true believers.
And remarkably few if any have admitted that they were wrong. And many people including a close friend of mine still believe this is true. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is going to have to work really hard to catch up to the Dems in Congress if she is going to top them.

Its not even whether or not Dems believed it - its that actual evidence of the FBI *knowing* it was all crap and going ahead with the investigation *anyway* before he was even elected - authorized by Obama's DoJ. They actually hid the fact that they knew it was not true.
And once in office, you had government employees who *hated* that Hillary didn't win going out of their way to *find* imagined wrongdoing. "Oh no - Trump asked the Ukraine to figure out why they stopped investigating criminal activities in return for Biden allowing the transfer of foreign aid money from Obama." In what world is it wrong to ask someone to find out why investigation into illegal activities was stopped but proof of no illegal activities results in continuing to try and manufacture evidence of it?
And - let's not get into Adam Schiff - I'll just say that he has a very punchable face and I'm sure he got beat up a lot in school when he was younger because of it.
