People Magazine should stick to writing about celebrities every BM. They’re now doing the bidding of this administration.

So it’s a just a conspiracy theory if someone BS’s me and I get angered at the obvious insult to my intelligence. Ok, got it.

But you know they got to get this “information” out to liberal women who aren’t following the news.

OK, hear me out. If you believe any of the “conspiracy theories,” couldn’t you just as easily conclude that finding out the horrible truth makes people angry?

This is all part of a secret plot to discredit people like me and I’ll fight anyone who tries to tell me otherwise!

I’m making you angry because you are easily angered. Its not my fault you get so uptight over what I am doing.

Said by a narcissist.

Says the same thing as:

People using psychotropic drugs are more likely to believe whatever BS their handlers feed into their numbed and empty brains.

You will have to invent a new word because conspiracy theories...at the current pace...are probably 50-percent fact (as a minimum)...so the old definition won’t match up to the present-day situation.

Also, this study done....Poland/Australia were identified as countries involved. There are a lot of intellectual ‘lefties’ in both countries and I might not put a lot of faith in this being a factual study (faked-up might be a word I’d use).

That explains the Media-Dem Party and their violence and anger directed at anyone who disagrees with their pet conspiracy theories. Just a few days ago a Dem in Rhode Island was caught keying someone’s car because they had an anti-Biden bumper sticker. Who can forget their months-long temper tantrum in 2020 over the conspiracy theory about cops killing “unarmed black men”?

The studies come after researchers noticed a rise in conspiracy theories and beliefs after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, a subject that was directly addressed in two of the four studies conducted with Polish and American participants.

Conspiracy theory: Any belief or idea that does not match up with government propaganda.

Based on personal experience, they have a point.

I have no tolerance for deception, arrogance and/or stupidity.

Makes most social media, save FR, unbearable.

Leftists are, without a doubt, more angry,and thus more likely to accept conspiracy theories.

However,any people who have their fundamental views of how the universe works challenged, are likely to accept conspiracy theories, if those theories allow them to keep their belief structure when challenged by hard to reject facts.

Anyone who looks at the news and the world around them and ISN’T angry is not paying attention.

They must be talking about Biden, Mooshell and Pelosi. They believe in their own conspiracy theories and liberal/Marxist BS.
