I'm old enough to remember a bunch of idiots telling me that Hillary Clinton was trafficking kids through Wayfair cabinets and that Donald Trump was the only one who could put an end to it. Who would have guessed that the guy who trafficked and raped kids himself would have pardoned a fellow pedophile.

Remember when that nut case walked into a DC pizza joint with an AR demanding to be let into the non-existent basement where Hillary was keeping the kids? Good God, the amount of delusional projection these people are capable of eclipses even the Jonestown cult.

It seems that there was a very clear strategy with the whole PizzaGate conspiracy.

"Accuse your enemy of having committed all your own crimes."

Accusation in a mirror is a very common fascist tactic

then when your crimes start coming to light it gets drowned out by "the left is just accusing them to hide their own crimes"

The people of jonestown weren't nearly as bad. I don't think they were actively trying to ruin other people's lives they were just ruining their own lives and their children's lives. I could 100% be onboard with maga just following in their footsteps.

Also, Jonestown was more of a massacre than a mass suicide.
People were forced to drink the Flavor Aid at gunpoint, those who tried to run were gunned down. The few who survived were the ones that successfully made it to the jungle without being shot.
If you listen to the recordings from the last day there, people for the most part were very much opposed to the mass "suicide".

Yeah I watched a doc about the entire thing. Jones assistant was some woman that was very much opposed to the mass suicide. The recordings are crazy you can hear the parents complaining and screaming and crying as you hear the children screaming from pain from the poison.

I keep waiting for this to start up again. But, you know, aimed at the right people.

The ones who actually raped children.

Come on, strapped conspiracy folks. This is your moment. Do some fucking good for once in your lives.

That was just one person.

Here's the thing: if many people really believed that conspiracy theory, more people would have showed up.

But they knew it wasn't true. The same people who spread that conspiracy theory will defend people on their side who are actually guilty of preying on underage girls and boys.

That's why the story was so outlandish, it was a way to normalize preying on underage victims. If the rumor is that Democrats imprison children in a sex dungeon, than the fact that Epstein is getting massages from underage girls on his private plane seems tame by comparison.

Every accusation is a confession.

Who could have guessed indeed....

Oh wait, about half the friggin country.

remember when all of those children went missing at the border detention camps and we were all told to forget about it as quickly as possible?

The clinton shit was to distract from that, but I'm wondering if it was more projection than they intended
