Is this one of those times where you're joking?  

People don't believe wild ass theories for no reason...but I like how you pick out the silly ones (with the exception of Benghazi...nice try) and disregard all the real ones.....like say...Trump colluding with Russia?

Doesn't it get old saying "RAWR, FOX NEWS AND CONSERVATIVES ARE EVIL?"  When was the last time you watched MSNBC?  Or read an article from CNN.com?  

I'm actually watching MSNBC right now, as Rachel is covering the leaked SCOTUS opinion apparently repealing Roe vs Wade.

Indeed people don't believe wild ass theories for no reason. Nowadays there is a right wing news machine which has drawn them from the fringe to the center of US politics, and maintains fear and groupthink around them. And I don't consider these to be "silly ones" as they put politicians in power who make the country ungovernable and maintain them with a system of false equivalences--like MSNBC is somehow of the same quality as NEWSMAX and Fox, just left of center, and Hilary was as crooked as Trump.

So no, it does not get old contesting the organizations and politicians who undermine democracy. 

What do you mean when you claim that "Trump colluding with Russia" was a "real one" while Trump's Big Lie (which I mentioned in my post, and which fueled the Capitol insurrection) was a "silly one"? But Benghazi was not a silly one?
