People in this country can't accept natural/normal causes for events. Huge percentages of the population believe in wild conspiracies, like:

- Covid-19 is a hoax created by Deep State Democrats
- Covid-19 is manmade
- It was engineered by the Chinese and spread worldwide to weaken America / to make Trump look bad and lose the 2020 election
- The 2020 presidential election was rigged by secret globalists
- The world is run by satan-worshipping Pedophiles
- Sandy Hook massacre was a false flag created by globalist liberals so Obama could send UN troops to come take Americans' guns.

And so people don't think I'm totally being political, here is one that liberals believe:

- Bush did 9/11


After doing some investigation into QAnon, I've come to realize that Americans are a bunch of gullible idiots looking for the next bit of secret insider information to make themselves feel less worthless. Like I'm surprised we even have electricity and running water and a halfway-functioning economy in most of this country.

LOL, Give it about 12 months of Biden/Harris and I'd make the bet that we don't.

Maybe you’re exaggerating a bit. Most are not into that stuff and don’t even know what Q believes.

I’ll add a few to the list.

Trump is going to stage a coup d’etat.
Armed right-wingers are going to start a civil war.
The summer protests were mostly peaceful.
Trump said that COVID-19 itself was a hoax.
Trump said there are good people on both sides and didn’t mention that white supremacist were not one of those people.
The Trump China tariffs were going to destroy our economy.
Mass voting by mail wasn’t going to slow down the election process.

And so people don’t think I’m political, here’s one that conservatives believe:
Epstein didn’t commit suicide.

Reality is mundane, conspiracy theories are exciting- the more fantastical the better.

Meh.........my great grandmother believed the moon landing was staged. Somewhat understandable as she was a country gal born in 1894.

It was probably also a story in the National Enquirers that my grandmother read for entertainment, but didnt necessarily believe.

Who knows why people believe crazy stuff that is not true. Lots of gullible people in this country.

Actually quite scary how many stupid, uneducated and gullible people in the country.

Look up the history of how 'conspiracy theories' were used by our intelligence agencies...its very interesting...lets just say, there is a very good reason, why some of the more bizarre conspiracy theories, are so 'off the wall' crazy!

So, you make up a bunch of nonsense that pretty much nobody believes, announce that most everybody believes it, and try to get people talking about your nonsense?

You apparently have a lot of time on your hands.

Have you thought about getting a hobby?

Or is this it?
