One constant on FR and other Con sites is the “Concern Troll”. You qualify with your pitiful concern about Con reputations when the lying BS from the left is stacked miles high. BTW, the Sandy Hook Op was as fraudulent as your concern for reputations.
I’m willing to grant that the “concern troll” probably does exist.
However the far bigger danger is the “conspiracy theorist nutjob,” for whom everything is a conspiracy.
The conspiracy theorist nutjob can’t be reasoned with. The real, objective truth really doesn’t matter to him, although he often claims to be “just seeking the truth” or “proclaiming the truth.”
He doesn’t even care (very much) about the Constitution - although he often labels himself a “Constitutionalist” and labels everyone who disagrees with his mangling of that same sacred document a “traitor” or a “troll.”
There is no event that the conspiracy theorist nutjob can’t find a conspiritorial explanation for. Muslim fanatics can hijack airplanes and fly them into skyscrapers, and have their associates admit that they did it for the cause of Islam, and the conspiracy theorist nutjob will claim the President of the United States was in on the plot.
A crazed 20-year-old gunman (either off his meds or because of them) can murder his mother and steal her firearms and go slaughter elementary school children, with the entire drama played out live on television, and the conspiracy theorist nutjob will claim that it was all a government conspiracy of some kind.
Idiots in the media can misreport the weapons used in their rush to get some news, any news, out there before their competition, and the conspiracy theorist nutjob will dig up erroneous early reports a month later, and claim that they’re actually accurate, and that they’re “evidence” of a conspiracy.
And reasonable people can point out the truth, and the conspiracy theorist nutjob will turn on the truth-teller as if he is an enemy, a part of the imagined conspiracy, the spawn of Satan himself.
Conspiracy theorist nutjobs do nobody any favors, and the least of all whatever side of the political spectrum they claim to represent. And those conspiracy theorist nutjobs who call themselves “conservatives” don’t, in reality, represent conservatism. They only represent nutjobbery.
