They don't belive this stuff. It's just a way to stay in the spotlight. It's like shockjock morning radio bullshit. You say outrageous shit and people lap it up. Most of the people don't believe it either, not really. It just gives them something to yell about and get worked up over. It keeps their hackles up so they don't have to critically think about anything. Sure there are some people that actually believe all this shit, there were actually people waiting for JFK to come back, but thats a very small number of people. Most are just riding the outrage train so they can be nasty to women, be racist, and stay afraid of gay people. None of it has to make sense, there's no logic behind it. It's just another way to stay mad. It seems like an exhausting way to live.
They're accusing Democrats of that because it's exactly what they'd do in that situation. They're dumb corrupt assholes who constantly accuse Democrats of shit they would do.
I'm starting to think our own outrage and disbelief at their wacko conspiracy shit is the point... Like leftists are the audience they're playing to.
Like the clearly unhinged, deeply troubled person at a house party that keeps working *Theseus up to crazier and crazier stunts. Their fuel is attention of any kind, and without an audience they just go back to being sad.
I dunno; a thought. I'm sure it's not so pat
* rofl I meant "themself" but leaving this autocorrect in
There's a radicalization pipeline, where you slowly start with relatively small untruths, and over time it gets worse and worse. The farther you go, the harder it gets to admit to yourself that it's all a lie. So they keep lying to themselves.
But these guys are just the paladins of incompetence, they are the multipliers. The vast mass of voters don't believe everything, but they are consistently bombarded with shit. And some of it sticks, some narrative works on them, and they believe that.
