The popularity of ideas like this isn't on Trump & his supporters, but rather on our institutions that have catastrophically failed

Far less people would be even willing to entertain these ideas if every institution hadn't been shown to be run by thoroughly corrupt liars

People can't place their trust in shitty manipulative institutions so instead their imaginations run wild envisioning worst-case-scenarios

This is a psychological defense against having your trust violated repeatedly for decades

The fact that Trump have a WH press pass to Infowars and praises Alex Jones is a bigger problem

That situation didn't descend from the heavens in November, it's been building for literally longer than I've been alive

The failure of institutions, namely the major media, led directly to the rise of Infowars and similar outlets

Hmmm...who told you those institutions failed? Not infowars, was it? How do you define 'failed', is it "anything less than perfection"?

they know how long it takes to get to Mars, right maybe they meant Mar … a Lago?

Now we know ! Mars--a--Gogo
