Are we so desperate for some sort of control that we latch onto conspiracy theories now? Being left doesn’t mean we should be ignorant of truths. Same with being right wing. I know nut jobs will nut job, but I’m appalled at how mainstream the ridiculous has become—to a point where a crazy, tin-foil-hat conspiracy theorist is considered a viable political candidate. Or a criminally insane megalomaniac is considered the one to beat. Makes me want to crawl in a hole and never come out.
