    I’ve been saying this for a while. The real malicious actors are right there in the open, telling you what they’re doing. I think people gravitate toward the clearly fake conspiracies because it helps soothe their conscience - clearly their guy is Different, you don’t even have to think about it, right?

      If someone falsely accuses you of anything, assume they did that first. Investigate the accuser.

      It’s wild how long the Republicans have been plainly stating what their goals are, and people keep looking for alternative, easier to accept explanations.

      It’s still crazy to me how much of the bad shit the government has done has been declassified and publicly available and people still just kind of ignore it. Who needs censorship when people are just willing to overlook reality? Or even worse, just make up nonsense.
