    For a conspiracy or a cover up to be real in this day and age it needs to be small, otherwise it just involves too many people to stay secret.

    Trump and his “believers” are a different story. They know it’s not real, instead they’ve all silently (and not so silently) agreed to reject reality and substitute in their false god’s reality.

      I think the lumpenproletariat who support him so fervently are true believers. Granted, on that side of the political cube lies and honesty all get muddled together into mush.

      It feels logical, clever and safe to say that, but it’s not remotely true.

          It’s a lot easier to be dismissive than actually think about the topic, i know.

              sad the fucker believes national governments can’t keep a secret, it’s too hard, despite all evidence to the contrary, like when they release the files thirty years later and it turns out they were and the crazy people, were not.

                What crazy thing declassified did I miss, because I remember a ton about UFOs, Kennedy assassination, etc going to be declassified and I don’t remember any earth shattering stories
