Daily conspiracy

[Ferrocyanide]

Until recently, these were roughly distinct communities, with most of them believing that the others were The Problem™ (or part of the conspiracy) and that past circumstance persists today where the lines between them cause friction in the present movement.  Maga was the unifying principle.  A passive way of saying that the only thing which binds them all into a single moral community is their suspicion of the other - a strong belief that they are, somehow, being victimized together.  In that context maga and maga conspiracy theorizing are a rational response to a percieved threat.  Of outsiders and loons banding together and validating each other in the absence of what they perceive to be mainstream cultural approval.  A telling insecurity in and of itself.  

They all know better.  None of them are as dumb as any of them make it all look.

I guess that MAGA is a strong bonding force between them. It is where they get together and talk to each other about how upset they are about transgenders, gas prices and this and that.
It is too bad that I don’t have my ear to the ground. I can only guess at how 100 million people (republicans) are interacting together.

An interesting example:
It looked to me that the mexican border issue was being talked about once in a while on canadian TV, so I assume it was also mentioned by a USA reporter once a year.
When Donald was running in 2015, it seemed to have turned into a high priority issue. I guess that a republican citizen, day and night, is wondering how many thousands of mexicans got in with bags of drugs and it has been on his mind for 10 y.

An interesting example:
There is also this notion of deep state.
Some random day, this concept must have been spreading on the web, somewhere unknown to me. I think it was someone named Q that started it.
Somehow, the concept spread among churches and republican citizens and 200 million of them know it now.
I think Donald mentioned the deep state a few times to let them know that he is one of the citizens, ready to fight the injustices.
Nobody, republican citizen, fox news, politician republican disagreed with Donald.

I don’t think that anyone can express themselves. Not the fox news. Not the priest like Jim Baker. They all have to go along with it. There is peer pressure.

The churches of the USA are nothing like the catholic church of 1000 y ago. The USA churches and the Jim Baker type don’t have the ability to disagree, they don’t have the ability to burn heretics.
That is the part that sociology professor, Bader, needs to understand.

I find it interesting how these things start. I guess it was Mr Q that made a post about the  “deep state” on some unknown messageboard.
It probably spread to 50 people, then 500 in a few days, then 100,000, then a few millions and it reached TV news and it reached me and people from every country.
At one point, Romana Didulo from Canada picked up the notion and somehow got herself an audience and they fund her delusions.

If the standard news media does not agree with them, they consider the news media as “for sheep”
Evidence for them that the news media is for sheep is that they say ivermectin doesn’t work against COVID. Don’t drink bleach. Don’t think 2-propanol. Don’t shine UV light down your throat.

They all know better. None of them are as dumb as any of them make it all look.

I imagine that 1/3 of republican citizens are dumb enough to believe any nonsense and the rest just go along with it.
I think Donald is not dumb enough to drink or inject bleach. He took the vaccine. During one of his rallies he said I got the vaccine, it is good. A large number of the people said booooo.
The expression on his face was like “oh.... I miscalculated, let me fix this” and he said but whatever, get the vaccine or don’t get it. You have the choice, you have the freedom.

He was going around advertising of how he was the fastest, the best at getting the vaccine ready. After that, he stopped doing that.
