Idaho state rep shares conspiracy theory accusing Obama of staging Charlottesville

hipbabboom

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
I heard a version of this last Friday. A Trump supporter was telling people that the democrats planted people pretending to be neo-Nazis in the pro-Confederate side. When they say 60% of Trump supporters will stand by him regardless of what he does, its because of a world view that is wiling to believe anything to fit into the narratives they desire.

Obama and Soros invented racism and slavery. You heard it right, both of them are time travelers that decided they wanted to stick it to true American Freedom Fighters by making them look bad going back in time to create both racism and slavery, tie it to the Confederacy, and make it seem like the GOP are to blame.

How is this even possible? Like, what is the evidence for this??? Peoples idiocy is just baffling, though at this point I'm not that surprised.

Like Sandy Hook Trutherism, this theory was made up by people who don't to face the truth that their promotion of violence led to something horrible happening. They're fucking cowards who don't have the balls to admit that they're fine with innocents being killed over their cause.

That's implying slavery happened. ......I mean we have holocaust deniers. I imagine there has to be slavery deniers out there too.

Every time a state or national rep opens their mouth and says stuff like this, I'm reminded that sometimes the Founding Fathers' fundamental unease with pure democratic government was warranted.

Strangely enough I've never encountered it, though. Why holocaust denial would be such a big thing when we have far better records and video and pictures in comparison, I dunno.

Usually there's no denial about slavery, they just do stuff like deflect from the horrors by pointing out that slavery was way worse in the Caribbean. Then there's the "blacks had it better when they were slaves" racism/paternalism thing. But no, I've never heard anyone deny it.

IMO part of this is wanting to believe in a "real" truth that is buried beneath the surface, because that means they've uncovered something, which in turn means they're smarter than everyone else. This is important because in reality they're the dumbest among us. Knowing the real truth gives them a reason to hold their heads high. It's a reaction to an inferiority complex taken to an extreme.
 

Stop It

Perfectly able to grasp the inherent value of the fishing game.
Hey look, another idiot who posts a completely nuts conspiracy theory and uses the "Well you can't prove it didn't happen" defence.

Idiot.

I love how the alt right and their enablers can't even own the shit they do. The moment any stunt they pull backfires it's always a plot by the left and the (((globalists))).

Maybe one day reality will hit these fuckwits but I'm not betting on it.
 
You know what? I'm just gonna quote my post from the "No Forests on Flat Earth" thread.

I sincerely hope every one of these dangerous idiots has a heart attack and purges the world of their ignorance.

It's amazing that with the advent of free information exchange through the internet, society is getting dumber. Not all of society, of course, but these fringe anti-intellectual movements and conspiracy subcultures are only growing in size and prominence.

Sigh...

I hate these people so so much. I mean, what do you do about these people? As mad as I get about Russia's roll in all this current mess, they basically just pushed along something the GOP and other conservatives had been working towards for awhile. So much blame for everything can be laid at the feet of millions of my fellow Americans.

You forgot the Russian Revolution, the Black Plague (come on, this one was easy!), The Eclipse and the Bronze Age Collapse.

Is it plausible that this rep is a child molester? I mean I'm not saying it's true, but I don't see any proof saying that he isn't.

Obama is a conspirator, the Clintons are murders. Why whenever it's a democratic president, they gotta make shit up to turn them into boogie men?

They're influencing textbooks. A McGraw Hill history textbook tried calling slaves "workers" when discussing immigration patterns. Textbook makers often go out of their way to try not to offend white southerners, so they constantly put in lies and misinformation when it comes to slavery's role in our history.

Please. There are no such thing as dinosaurs, brother. Obama just invented dinosaurs as a liberal smoke-screen to hide the fact that the world is 6,000 years old. And to think that Captivatingly Kenyan con-artist claims to be a Christian.

OBAMA MUST BE STOPPED!

The idea that something can be shared, especially from fucking POLITICIANS, due to it's "plausibility" needs to die. It's "plausible" that this state rep is a racist piece of shit that participates in klan rallies and has lynched black people before.

I don't know why we can't just leave Obama alone, the guy has all but faded from the spotlight. Like, when was the last time he even said something publicly?

He was president and now he's not, let him enjoy his peace.

I'm not saying it was Obama, but it was Obama.

Are people really just stupider nowadays or what's the issue? Too much free time? Too much internet? What's causing all the crazy?

I've yet to see any proof that Obama DIDN'T crucify Jesus Christ.

Not saying he did it, I'm just asking questions here
