So, I've been seeing this new conspiracy theory; they're intentionally making life terrible so that we revolt, making it easy for the "new order" to rule. It's becoming increasingly convincing; it seams more feasible. I don't know how much longer people can take this pressure. Not sure about the new order part though.
Oh, the junta is champing at the bit to be able to invoke the Insurrection Act. Sort of ironic, given they led the only insurrection in modern U.S. history.
No, I wasn't clear enough. The conspiracy theory goes far beyond this. It's this whole concept that the dark money shaddow leaders are just aching for even the Trump regime to be overthrown. So all of it can be completely reset and torn down to nothing, and they can just take over with their AI robots or some crazy shit like that.
The part that I'm starting to believe is that there is actually some force that is actively trying to completely destroy the "democracy" that was built in the US.
Then again with all these radical Christians that are trying to literally bring about armageddon...

By all means consider the source, but it's basically what they're hoping for, a lot of them at least.

I just can't.
Realistically, what we are dealing with is the rejection of The Enlightenment.
Yes. Agreed.
