Why liberal conspiracy theories are flourishing in the age of Trump.

This is a very good chronology/analysis of how insane they are and how much more insane they will become.

[CincyRichieRich]

How can you fall for something if you made it up? That’s like recursive software coding.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The Clintons have become adept at accusing conservatives of what they, in fact, are doing.

[Leaning Right]

> Democrats are falling for fake news about Russia <

No, no. The Democrats are actively producing fake news about Russia. That’s way different than just falling for it.

[Az Joe]

I think that is one of the main points of the article. It is a house of mirrors with several players just retweeting and copying each other over and over.

[Terry Mross]

If I remember correctly it was the Hillary campaign and her media suck-up-hers who started the term “fake news”.

Dershowitz nails it.

Think of it from Russia’s standpoint. The rats stand for war.

[Terry Mross]

I appreciate Derschowitz’ legal expertise. But he’s missing the point. We already ARE Stalinist Russia. And others on that panel know that to be true. And as smart as they are they forget the part of history that should convince them that “Stalin” will eventually turn on them.

[DoughtyOne]

Can’t disagree with you.

[Thibodeaux]

no, they are not falling for anything. The fact is the whole party and hangers on and especially the media are creating what they hope will be a massive distraction. They all know that if Trump stays in office, the swamp will be drained and they will all go down the drain

The Russian gambit is existential for the left

[Rusty0604]

He was just on Tucker. He said that even IF the Trump campaign did coordinate with Russia, it’s not a crime. Even if Trump did tell Comey to let Flynn go, that is his right as president. So all the impeachment talk by democrats is moot, because unless Trump lies under oath, erases tapes, etc., he has done nothing wrong.

[tophat9000]

that the point its not illegal to talk to the Russians!..in fact it is part of the dam job

the truth is the Russian did not ever hack the DNC.. it was an insider that leak .. A piss off Birney bro that was out to show he was being screw in the primary by the dnc

“what-is-the-crime”?

Winning the Presidential Election.

Wouldn’t it be great for the special prosecutor to open the can of worms of Hillary and the Russians? Last I heard the “special prosecutor” can go where ever he wants to take the investigation.

[VOR78]

They’re not falling for anything. They know its garbage. They just don’t care. All that matters to them is defeating Trump, no matter what it takes.

[matt04]

I said it before, the Dems had no plans if Hillary lost. No consession speech, no “thanks for younsupport, we tried” email to supporters. Nothing.

It explains the long, akward wait at the Javits center once it was over, followed by the Podesta “go home” speech. That was the moment they realized they needed to explain the loss to her supporters. They had no answer and make of the Russian thing.

[caww]

You are 100% correct on that....good post!

[Stopthethreat]

And the worthless republicans had no plan if Trump won.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Great post and so true.
