    For a conspiracy or a cover up to be real in this day and age it needs to be small, otherwise it just involves too many people to stay secret.

    Trump and his “believers” are a different story. They know it’s not real, instead they’ve all silently (and not so silently) agreed to reject reality and substitute in their false god’s reality.

      I think the lumpenproletariat who support him so fervently are true believers. Granted, on that side of the political cube lies and honesty all get muddled together into mush.

      It feels logical, clever and safe to say that, but it’s not remotely true.
