I have a theory that might sound crazy, but hear me out. I think the Democrats knew exactly what Trump was up to, but in order to catch him, they had to let him keep going—let him believe he could get away with anything, even the worst crimes. You can’t catch a murderer if the murder hasn’t happened yet. So they watched, knowing the plan, waiting for him to dig his own grave. Now, after years of chaos, they finally have what they need to put an end to the madness he’s been stirring up for the past decade.
Does that sound too crazy, or do you think there’s something to it?
I’m sorry dude but in the gentlest way possible, you’re relying on conspiracy theories to avoid confronting reality and justify your beliefs. It’s exactly the same as what q-anon and trump nutters do. I realise that its a coping mechanism to help you deal with the state of things but you can’t change anything for the better if you can’t engage with reality.
I know shit feels hopeless now but I promise there’s things you can do now that will genuinely improve life for yourself and the people you care about. Join communities, volunteer for causes you believe in, get involved in protests, and try and form those social bonds that help break people away from conservative and maga centric thinking. If you think about it, regardless of whether what you believe is true or not, these are still things that will improve life for people who are suffering now.
