    A lage appeal of conspiracy theories is the unspoken assumption that there are people who are in control and have a plan. Even if that's in service of a nefarious goal, it's more comforting than the idea that nobody's at the wheel.

    What's more organized and meticulously planned than just gunning down civilians for a false flag attack? Crisis actors! It also doesn't help that Q-heads' conception of 'evil' begins and ends with cartoon show bad guys.

      the idea that nobody’s at the wheel

      Libs are like that too.

      When the news broke that Biden and his team wasn't getting national security info from the Trump administration - the talking heads (including ex-directors of the CIA) on MSNBC kept shrilly mentioning threats from foreign actors who might "take advantage" of "our weakness".

      I thought that was really funny. Surely 95+% of the time since inauguration day Trump hasn't been paying attention at all to national security stuff and there's been nobody at the wheel.

      I think one of the reasons people like Van Jones kept saying "Today, Trump became presidential," is that libs needed to pretend that - at least some of the time - Trump wasn't a ridiculous reality tv moron grifter clown. A president who is a ridiculous reality tv moron grifter clown isn't part and cannot be part of their of their West Wing view of reality. It's an impossibility.
