The most credible deflection of accusation this administration has had is that their actions sound like a conspiracy theory.
The more outrageous the act, the less likely it is to be believed.
That has been their stock defense, whether the question be of natural born citizenship, aid and comfort to our enemies, economic malpractice, gunrunning, vote fraud, whatever. It has worked along with the low information voter's normalcy bias to keep those not actively benefiting from actions that should enrage the populace from even comprehending what is going on.
I cannot and would not deny that. Sometimes the guy with the sandwich board is dead nuts right. The sky really is falling.
