      While I enjoy speculating over UFO/UAP footage, it can be abused by a lot of media to take the spotlight off of some other very real and most likely concerning news.

      Trump is speed running the collapse of a nation, so it makes sense for coverage to deviate to UFO/other news when he’s doing dodgies.

      A little bit, yeah. Trump supporters are also very desperate people, many of them turned to the dark side due to grievances with the world. And not all of them are always imagined. The wrong part is the conclusions these people come to and the way they go about correcting what they think is wrong…

      Conspiracy theories are rife with these people. UFO ones where aliens poke you in the butt and interview you about the planet and wipe your memory are very common in these groups.

      Meanwhile as a progressive the aliens I fantasise about are like… enlightened and compassionate lol.
