1. Another thread on conservative delusion. Think back. Just the last ten years. How many ridiculous conspiracy theories and bogus scandals have GOP pushed? Scandals on Fox 24-hours a day. But then...nothing. No charges, no punishment.

The brainwashed have 2 choices. They can...
2...realize - wait, all of these scandals, all of this criminality, Hillary crimes, in-person voter fraud, Obama crimes etc. None of them are ever charged. There almost never are anything but partisan investigations. Wait...maybe they are lying to me.

OR...option 2:.....
3..."the reason that all of these conspiracies Fox tells me about haven't been charged is because of MORE conspiracies." Absurdities like "the deep state" and other loony things are required to keep the cover-up going, to keep from admitting that conservative media has been....
4...spinning falsehoods day in and day out. Why is Clinton Foundation up and running, and Trump Foundation closing? Must be a conspiracy of law enforcement. Why are the intelligence agencies saying Russia attacked our democracy when Trump says "maybe not."? Must be a....
5...a conspiracy of law enforcement. This is the greatest possible thing for Fox and company, because it needs to keep these people SCARED and angry. Secret conspiracies, with boogie-men like Soros and the Deep State, prevent Fox from every having to say, "yes, all the stuff...
6...we have told you about wasn't true." It builds a new lie on the old lie, making the Fox viewers further and further away from reality. Meanwhile, Fox relentlessly tells viewers "WE are the only true media" - a tactic used by Goebbels - destroy the credibility of other media..
7,,,and lie in your own. So again, I do not blame the Fox viewers anymore than I blame people who fall into any other cult. But everyone - EVERYONE - who works at Fox is complicit in this evil that is undermining America. There CAN be conservative-tilted news without lies....
8...but fox doesnt know how to do it. In fact, their business model demands that they dont.

So, as the cognitive dissonance continues, and next Fox has to lie to justify the lies about the lies, that portion of the country will just be pushed further off the deep end. Which is..
9...why I keep saying, there is no purpose to debating with people who believe the Fox conspiracy theories. They are lost in a world of unreality, absent fact. What they are told is minimized to keep them there.

Fox is evil. It's viewers are dupes.

done.
