    Right wing conspiracy theories: No you see the Jews are actually secret lizard men from the lost continent of Lemuria and they’re spying on you when you pee!

    Left wing conspiracy theories: The CIA literally admitted to this on it’s website last week.

      Left wing conspiracy theories: The rich have sufficient class consciousness and class solidarity to maintain and expand their power at the expense of everyone else.

      Right wing conspiracy theories: Sort of like the above but it’s only the Jews/wokes/gays and otherwise the rich are cool and good and totally your friends.

    Comrade this kind of thing had already been here, it is not unique to Trump.

      Right? The US has been doing this the whole time. Let’s get Trump back, apparently he is the only president in the last forty years who couldn’t drum up fake charges against anyone he wanted.

      For clarity I’m joking. Obummer and Bush always managed to find a few terrorists lying around when they needed one, so Trump trying and failing to do this doesn’t look, idk, worse than what we already had.

        COINTELPRO is only what we know was being done by the feds in the 60s. Who knows how long it has been going on or what other programs we don’t know about. MK Ultra, Tuskegee Syphilis Experiments, and Indian schools all come to mind for “US government does sketchy shit in the name of national security.”
