South Park made this exact point about conspiracy theorists 20 years ago.
And it's more relevant than ever, especially with Candace Owens' cult and the Tyler Robinson case.
A small segment of the population finds more comfort in believing there's an all-powerful government secretly controlling everything than in accepting the reality that the world is often chaotic.
George W. Bush in the episode:
"People need to think we're all-powerful. That we control the world. If they knew we weren't behind 9/11, then it would appear we control nothing."
@Zigmanfreud Couldn't be said much better. What are we doing here, really? Using the government to go after a group that thrives off of being "the victim".
@Zigmanfreud I can see it now. "Get your gold TRUMP card, Trump any situation you find yourself in with your gold TRUMP card. They're fantastic, ask anyone."
@Zigmanfreud People have asked me in recent weeks how LA could have Bass and Ramen advance and Pratt gets left out. It's these people, lots and lots of these people.
@Zigmanfreud I had a question last week that I thought would be good for this, but wouldn't you know I forgot it. However I do have a question. Assuming the Democrats get control of Congress, do you think they impeach a cabinet member in lieu of Trump? Maybe Hegseth?
@Zigmanfreud This is getting tiresome, everyone knew that Democrats, mainly the far left were waiting until the last minute to decide their vote. It shouldn't be that shocking that the Democrat vote increased as the counting progressed.
