That's STILL fun for you? I guess as they say...simple minds simple pleasures.

why is that idea of fun any worse than starting meaningless threads on this website for attention?

No. Enough have gone from "conspiracy theories" to "conspiracy fact" to underscore the part of the MAGA message that says the political elites of the Left are incredibly authoritarian and would take us down the road to a socialist/communist state (things like Hunter's laptop, Trump-Russia collusion being fake, the media blatantly bais for Harris, social media doing the Biden admin's bidding in squelching speech it did not agree with, etc).

distraction of all the wild theories to be crowding out the central message of the campaign?


IDK, I can handle 100s of messages about the campaign without becoming distracted.

You're honing in on the point of a lot of what the modern left/media tries to foment.

Conspiracy theories at this point are just white noise. Don't think anyone pays attention anymore. Conspiracy theory hands have been massively overplayed.

There is a reason trust in the media is at an all time low.

Boy you guys really hate questions. Up until this failed generation everyone was encouraged to question things.

No one is doing that... Only TDS pussies who think "everything is a conspiracy theory," are the douche bags who think that. Democrats often take something that like 5 people say and run with it as "baseless Trumpian right-wing conspiracy theory..." and 9/10 nowadays, it turns out to be true. frick them and frick anyone so naive they don't want to talk about the truth or question things that should legitimately be questioned.

If they "turn out to be true" then they weren't CPs to start with. Problem is the Right letting the Left determine what is true or not. All they are doing is allowing them to dismiss them, and push the issue down the road. Then its to late to correct and fix

Poisoning the well.

Something like this: If you think the CIA may have possibly killed JFK, you are lumped in with flat earth nutters because you’re both “conspiracy theorists.”

Lying constantly has consequences. If authority wants trust, stop lying.

I could list all the terrible, tricky, evil things that government has done. But suffice it to say, it's all long list. And every one was once a "conspiracy theory".

I'm ok with free speech and politically, it is our friend.

The problem with your theory is that those darn conspiracy theories eventually keep winding up proven to be true.

Then its not a conspiracy THEORY, now is it?

What you actually want is for Repubs to stop calling out the lyin' left, this close to election time. And Roger and SFP are all onboard with that

Some, not all.

Yet people here seem to believe every single one that comes through. The problem with this, is these are simply distractions and have aficionados chasing their own tails.
