That’s preposterous! ON ITS FACE!! In my humble opinion of course.
So that’s what it boils down to broham? One must not only divest himself of any association with those cats, but more notably must take proactive measures, publicly, to “distance” oneself from each of these individuals? I think you’re going over the top with it, but again, only my opinion which I would note is no more correct or incorrect than the next fella’s. I also get the impression that it’s a broader issue you have with what you perceive as “the right,” when my gut tells me that these “disputes” are superficial and could be resolved by acknowledging we can all move in the same direction, yet not all have the same exact opinions on each and every person.
One of these days the mass of people opposite from who we all could agree is “the left” is gonna have to somehow come together as one unit. The mass of people is loosely defined as “us”. Only way to snatch these damn leftists up.
If each of our gangs is a finger

The mafia? Possible. My dad was really big into that. I don't think they had the power and if people were helping Oswold, they had to have connections with the USSR. CIA could do that, but the mafia?
The American mafia had more connections to Cuba than almost any other entity in the 1950's. It's a fact that the CIA used John Roselli, a member of the Chicago Outfit, as a go-between to discuss the assassination of Fidel Castro. Men like Santo Trafficante and Carlos Marcello lost millions when Castro came to power. And the CIA lost a powerful ally 60 miles from Florida.
Then you have the election of 1960. Kennedy wins Illinois and wins the election. It's alleged that the Chicago Outfit stuffed ballot boxes for JFK given his father's OC connections dating back decades. Then he appoints his brother Bobby as AG, who not only goes after the mafia (he illegally deported Marcello) but also Jimmy Hoffa and the Teamsters, whose pension fund is a private bank for the mafia.
So given all this, after the failure that is the Bay of Pigs, I believe that elements of the CIA conspired with the American mafia to kill the President. And what are the odds that the man who killed Oswald was a mafia associate in Dallas who had ties to both Marcello and the Chicago Outfit? I think it's hard for people today to grasp just how influential and powerful the mafia was in the 1950's and 1960's. The FBI director at the time claimed it didn't exist.

Too many coincidences for them not to be real

Social media has fed it in 2 ways:
One, the unchecked spread of disinformation and fake news.
Two, turning people into ADD zombies.

When I saw what clearly happened 9/11, I said, "now, this is well videoed, live tv, watched, etc., no one is going to be able to come up with some wild conspiracy theories. I just didn't realize how stupid people in groups could get.
In 2016, everyone I knew said over and over again that our election system was corrupt, and that there was no way that "they" would ever let Trump win. Then, Trump wins. Oh wow, so now all of you will admit that our election system isn't rigged, right? LOL, no. They just said that Trump won by such a huge margin that he overcame all the vote fraud. Facts never matter when you make conspiracy a foundational belief.

Hmm. I never heard that once about “they will never let Trump win.” In fact I never heard it “in earnest” until after the 2020 election debacle. Weird. Whatever fits one’s narrative I guess. Out of politeness I’ll say “we all have them,” but I’m being very generous when it comes to the one you laid out.

In short, knowing that the government / media are lying to you or highly suspecting that.
If the sky is blue and they are telling you it is orange, you wonder what else they are lying about.

Yeah, one would have to try really, really hard to not see bed the institutions of media, government and a couple other interests made for themselves inasmuch as their blatant disregard and disrespect for even basic common sense of the citizenry treating their s as if we were literal two year olds who can manipulated in plain sight in an effort to fulfill selfish personal goals. If someone could cite a single noble effort or act on the part of those institutions that would warrant any measurable level of trust, I’m all ears. Or eyes, as it were.
But I suspect that will be an unfulfilled request, leaving that bottomless abyss of well-earned distrust.
Damn that’s genius level stuff. I need to go over to the sheeple thread and proclaim my savant status like everyone else!!
ETA…..YITB

Humans will find information on things they already believe and want to be true. If there is any chance it is possible then that theory is now a fact to them. That's just the simple truth to the matter. People believe what they want to believe and many times they ignore facts and truth.

Democrats. They still believe 2000 and 2016 was stolen.
Theres a subset of people who live in systems, and are so inept they are terrified to think independently. These people trust their media and government, which is absolutely retarded.
People with no control over their own lives trust others to think for them. You actually believe your leaders are honest, just and have you in mind.

Because that's what most the anti CP people are doing.

yeah, no kidding.
Those who run around screaming "election denier" are most likely under the age of 20, or have a sub 80 IQ.
Democrats still call bullshite on the 2000 and 2016 election and have filed papers of impeachment vs every elected Republican president since Ike.
