re: Does the constant onslaught of "conspiracy theories" distract from the real MAGA message?

The conspiracy theories are the MAGA message. There’s nothing more there to grasp onto.

There has been some real doosies on this very board.

The Election 2020 board is still one of the absolute batshit craziest things I ever read, on this site or anywhere else. I can’t believe some of those loons still show up here. You’d think they’d be embarrassed

“Make America Great Again” is just the next abstract. It’s the reaping of years of sewing Wal Mart Republicanism.

You Fluffers act like your president did not get on National TV and threaten conservatives with fighter jet retaliation after calling ALL of us racists. frick YOU and all of your feelings.

Weather they turn out to be true, partially true or completely false do you think the constant drum beat and distraction of all the wild theories to be crowding out the central message of the campaign?

---

The only ones talking about conspiracy theories is the left and media. And yes, they love talking about it so they can use it against Republicans. But don’t worry, when they are eventually proven correct, the left/media will suddenly go radio silent about them…

I'm asking if latching onto to every fleeting thought is a good strategy instead of hammering the same points of weakness in your oponent.

The premise of your question is false.

For one, the public has ADD. There's a reason the 24 hours news cycle exists. This is also the internet. People talk about anything and everything. There are millions of people online and you expect them all to only talk about topics you think should be discussed? It's absurd to even think about.

And two, who is discussing these "conspiracy theories?" Is it the campaign? Trump and Vance? How about the big commentators? Shapiro and the DW? The blaze? Crowder? Or is it mainly randos on the internet and people already known for CTs?

Thirdly, you're acting as if all conspiracy theories are the same. There's a huge difference between thinking the government is intentionally creating hurricanes and thinking they are slow walking relief. You're treating people who correctly believed that Gulf of Tonkin was a false flag the same as people who think the earth is flat.

Labeling every non-widely accepted idea as a conspiracy theory is done to suppress thought and speech. As conservatives, we should be against such things.

And to stifle scrutiny of their prescribed narratives.

Don't think the op meant any of these kind of "consipracies". Its the "gov is controlling the weather and making storms go to red areas to supress the vote" kind or " Biden is dead and its an imposter wearing a Biden Mask" conspiracies

maybe not.

but when the “conspiracy theories” i referenced were initially suggested here or elsewhere they were considered equally as ridiculous as the ones you are suggesting, were they not?

I think they are a distraction and make people look foolish for spreading them and others for believing them.
