Fair enough, thank you for your honesty.
I might add as example that while some people consider mark zuckerbergs financial interference in the election proof of election fraud a "conspiracy theory", in the times I brought it up I used credible media sources rather than Breitbart etc. The credible sources didnt always come to the same conclusions about its impact as partisan sites but do confirm the underlying and indisputed facts.
That's interesting.. I don't consider his meddling in the elections as a conspiracy.. not only that, but I would be surprised if he didn't.
You see, back in 2010, a group of right wingers realized they needed more money to finance various propaganda campaigns for their political purposes.. Enter an organization called "Citizens United" which was funded by the Koch brothers.. The Koch brothers are responsible for about 90% of the anti-global warming propaganda.. you see. the Koch brothers are in the oil business.. They finance all kinds of underhanded crap and try to keep their name out of the media as much as possible. Please feel free to google them or anything else I say here.. its all well known stuff.
Anyhow, Citizens United wanted to allow corporations to donate money to campaigns.. like people do.. They wanted corporations to have a legal standing commonly referred to as "personhood".. Interestingly, you can put a person in prison, but not a corporation.
It was a conservative supreme court that took on the case.. (Citizens United vs FEC)-2010, and they won. This opened the door to allowing mega corporations to inject their money into our elections unihibited.
The republicans had their eye on allowing oil companies, banks, and other (typically) right wing corporations to finance their campaign and literally "out spend" the democrats.. Basically they wanted to purchase the election instead of winning it on the merits of the best candidate.
It gets worse.. since many corporations are multi-national, this also opened the door for other countries to influence our elections.... other countries like Saudi Arabia, Russia, and anyone willing to spend money on election campaigns. But that's illegal right? =Yup.. but not so much really.
Corporations run on profits.. no profits, no corporation right? So what happens now is a guy like Putin will contact one of these big multinational corporations.. maybe someone in the oil business.. and he'll say "I'll buy these products from you at an inflated price if you donate some of the profits to this campaign or that campaign"..
Putin isn't donating the money, that would be illegal.. Putin is helping fuel the profits of the corporation so they can donate the money.
The most powerful law in the entire universe is called "The law of unintended consequences"
You can thank the republicans for allowing Zuckerberg's money to enter politics, as well as Putin's and the Saudi's.
And in case you haven't figured it out yet, that single SCOTUS decision will destroy our country.. You already see the huge divisions getting bigger and nastier... It won't be long.. I'm guessing maybe one or two more elections before we have a civil war that will allow China to take the international lead and relegate the USA much further down the list.
You might want to be careful who you vote for.. Propaganda is a powerful thing and can trick even highly intelligent people.
