The problem with the article is that it began with a specific and ended with the universal. So people inclined to disbelieve any notion that the Trump conspiracy theories are just that - factually unsupportable conspiracy theories - dismissed it. But my question concerns the concluding sentence. And that's where the article should have begun.
" Because the truth is that conspiracy theories will always thrive when people feel like they are not in control of their lives, and when significant tension exists between societal subgroups."
That's absolutely true but shouldn't be limited to Trumpism or mAGA.
Why do Maga supporters feel a tension between other groups in America and lack the ability to control their own lives? And saying their nuts is not a correct answer. Even men who burned women as witches (an example from the article) had a common reason or philosophical connection. A logical fallacy to put it mildly, but there was a common reason.
What is the Maga connection between people? And how can that compare and contrast to other groups?
60% of Dems think Putin has something on Trump. Blacks are least likely to want the covid vaccine.

The issue is simple.
The mainstream press has no credibility - zero.
The so-called press are open propagandists for the party and for the Reich. No one believes anything the Baghdad Bob's of the NY Times vomit out - no one, not party members and not the Patriots. CNN and NBC are laughable fools who brazenly lie to our face even as contrary fact is presented. CNN pisses in our face and swears that it's raining even as the August sun beats down.
Years of complete absurdity by the party propaganda corps who have utter contempt for not only the truth, but for the American people who they believe so stupid as to believe the outrageous lies they publish and broadcast have left the party propaganda corps a laughing stock. No one believes the bullshit the democrat party clowns spew. You may dutifully recite it as a party member - but unless you are mentally retarded, you know full well that it's all lies.
The Internet allows the truth to occasionally slip through. Much of this is highly embarrassing to the party. So democrats do what is their Nazi nature, the slander, defame, and lie.
The Nazi Party defames detractors by labeling anything contrary to party dogma as "conspiracy." Never mind that the Russia Collusion hoax is the biggest and most absurd conspiracy theory in decades, and that the Nazi party still promotes it even after it has been proven beyond all doubt false. Anything harmful to the party, anything that exposes the clownish lies of the party press, anything that exposes the graft and corruption of the Reich, is defamed as a "conspiracy theory."
There are some conspiracy theories, and some are doozies. But the majority of the slander by the Reich Press is simply an attempt to discredit information harmful to the party.
This is a multi-pronged attack, censor, ban, discredit. The Reich fears information above all else. Usually the democrats cannot refute, so they defame. It's the Nazi way.
