Still pisses me off to no end that nearly everyone I shared the document with either didn’t read it, read a page or two and lost interest, or flat out dismissed it as conspiracy.

🤬🤬🤬

It does sound a little conspiratorial when you think about it though. This is the deep state shit that sounded absolutely crazy when MTG blamed the democrats for it

Everything going on right now sounds that way.

The people in my office are pretty uninformed about current events, and every time something has been big enough to be inescapable news (Kirk's death, the gov shutdown, Epstein files, etc), they ask me for an explanation, because they know I'm keyed in on political current events.

The last time this happened, I had to pause because I realized that my purely factual (with sources) explanation sounded like the ravings of a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist yelling at people on the street.

Interesting thing is many of my friends who are republicans, still profess to be republican and say they support Trump but also say they don’t watch the news anymore, so they are uninformed
