I wonder what would happen if people started regurgitating the same conspiracy theories the conservatives believe, but instead aimed those conspiracy theories at the conservatives themselves.
Blame everything on the “Shallow State operatives”, frame the existence of viruses and diseases as the conservatives’ method of population control, assert as fact that the cons are installing chem trail canisters into planes to keep us drugged, shit like that. Sure, it’s Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man, but it could be fun to see how they react.
Calling Trump weird worked really well. Maybe some religious Democrats can claim the hurricane is god’s divine will for straying so far from biblical teachings and raising Trump as an idol.
Honestly though I think we’re all better served trying to come together against the real threat to our lives, Oligarchs living in a second gilded age.
It’s true enough that most people would only object to the hyperbolic phrasing, but conspiracy theory sounding enough to give the fantasy prone among us something useful to obsess over.
And bonus points, their power is woven into the country so profoundly we’d never agree on what to do about it. But at least we’d be all having the same conversation, which will lead to better outcomes for everyone, even the poo-brained among us. Except maybe the Musks and Bezoses of the world, they’d hate it.
