Can Trump and RFK, Jr. overcome the leftist hive mind?
It’s good to know that the daughter of two academics, one a Tamil Brahmin and the other a Marixt economist, is just Middle-Class Kamala.
But now the last echo of the Kennedy mystique, RFK Jr., has plumped for Trump, after releasing a screed in which he accused the Democrats of being meanie jelly-beanies.
But I wonder if the main contribution from RFK Jr. will be to help mainstream three “conspiracy theories.”
(What is a conspiracy theory? I don’t know. But it is something dark and threatening, rather like “far-Right” extremists.)
Conspiracy Theory One is “our children's health and chronic disease in general.” Says RFK Jr.:
Two-thirds of American adults and children suffer from chronic health issues… In America, 74% of Americans are now overweight or obese, and 50% of our children… Today, one out of every three kids who walks through [a typical pediatrician’s] office door is diabetic or pre-diabetic[.]
You tell me: is this a conspiracy theory or just a routine failure of the managerial administrative state that runs our health care system?
Conspiracy Theory Two is the Ukraine war. RFK Jr.:
Ukraine War began in 2014 when U.S. agencies overthrew the democratically elected government of Ukraine and installed a handpicked pro-Western government that launched a deadly civil war against ethnic Russians in Ukraine.
Is he allowed to say that?
In 2019, America walked away from a peace treaty, the Minsk Agreement, that had been negotiated between Russia and Ukraine by European nations. And then, in April of 2022, we wanted the war.

With the democrat defections to Trump, the left will probably ramp up their pro-HAMAS protests.
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE...
YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED.....................
Hive mind obviously. Theories may prove to hold truths. The hive mind holds whatever it is told to hold.
Liberals get their ‘info’ only from other liberals.
Back before FOX went over to the Dark Side, liberals would refuse to even look at it, much less sit and watch it for any length of time.
Conservatives, on the other hand, will watch liberal news outlets and make comparisons.
It is definitely difficult to break through a liberals shield of self-induced information bubble isolation. Their mindset is preprogrammed by the group-think style of the ABCNNBCBS presentations that reinforce the bonds..................
The Democrats repeat the same talking point lines over and over. Trump breaks that spell. He goes around them to communicate a new truth. The Democrats resent Trump’s communication skills.
Resistance is many things. Risky, controversial, not for the faint of heart and totally exhilarating.
Reagan did the same thing and there was NO INTERNET!..........
If the Left could come out of the Cave, free themselves from the form holders and see the Truth, we could have a chance.
What to do with those who want to see the world burn 🔥
Hive Mind by far.
A conspiracy theorist is a solo actor, and while a solo actor can do damage if they go violent, Hive Mind is effectively mob mentality... the entire group can be turned violent on dime.
2 Thessalonians 2
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
True that ! It is difficult to break through the information bubble which is controlled by the liberal/ progressives.
Prior to the Obungler years, there was a certain amount of open discussion on the various media networks, although they each had their biases, and they were known.
During the Obungler years, there was an active movement of liberal media personnel who were siblings and/or inter-marrying with other liberals in media or cable networs.
As a matter of fact, there were numerous political graphics demonstrating the direct kinship relationships between media personnel and members of the Obungler administration.
Those graphics seem to have expired as I haven't seen any on them recently, although they clearly identify the direct influence of the administration in the media, almost incestuous.
Indisputably, the “hive mind” is far, Far, FAR more corrosive and destructive.
Given that so many of the “conspiracy theories” we have seen since 2016 that have turned out to be far from conspiracies, I think that most “conspiracy theories” attributed to the right are simply the result of Leftist labeling.
“Conspiracy theory” is critical thinking.
Critical thinking is very bad so you must freeze it, personalize it, then polarize it.
That strategy worked well, as is plainly evident in society.
Incidentally, some are better at it than others. Some see crop circles and think aliens, while others think college kids with plywood.
The problem with “Conspiracy theory” historically, is that it drives irrationality and bad decision making.
The problem with “Conspiracy Theory” in modern times is that 6-1 year later it turns out be be proven fact. We don’t have a “Conspiracy Theory” problem, we have a ‘propaganda’ problem. Which means we have a ‘Free Press’ problem and therefore a failure of the 1st Amendment.
Remember, just about 6 weeks ago Joe Biden was hailed as a genius and the economy was doing great........Not that people were losing jobs, stagflation was here, and Joe Biden was demented.
“Conservatives, on the other hand, will watch liberal news outlets and make comparisons.”
I can’t watch the stuff—it makes my blood boil—even ten seconds of lies.
I have zero tolerance for lies.
There is a lot of truth in the old saying, “Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.”
You must keep an eye on what they other side is doing and saying else they will take you by surprise................
I count on folks here to keep me informed.
Thanks to everyone!
