Before you throw my entire generation under the bus and write us all off as incompetents, let me just say a few of things:Mister Tee wrote
If this is true, I'm considerably less sanguine that the younger generation is going to save America.
I mean, WTF? Did your friends buy so deeply into Bernie Kool-Aid that they retroactively believe a quarter-century's worth of bullshit about the Clintons? Only imbeciles believe the Clinton body-count nonsense; it's right up there with Obama was born in Kenya, and I'd be embarrassed to know anyone who subscribed to it.
1) I take it that your generation believed every word of the Warren Report and that nobody doubted the moon landing for a second. If any of us are conspiracy theorists, we learned it from you.
2) I misspoke when I said it wasn't one of the "wilder conspiracy theories." I simply meant to comment on how nobody thinks that connecting Epstein's suicide to the people he might rat out is an out-of-this-world leap in logic. This is unusual to me because while there is quite a bit of mistrust towards the government as a whole, conspiracy theorists have completely flipped in my lifetime from the left to almost completely the right.
3) I take it you didn't get the reference I wrote about how everybody became "Conspiracy Charlie." It's a joke from the FX show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia where one of the characters becomes a ranting raving conspiracy nut whose beliefs are instantly disproven. But my larger point is that everybody in my life (friends and family) instantly did not believe their eyes and ears. It's astonishing. The culprit depended on which side of the fence one is on. That is the phenomenon I was talking about. This is not usual.
4) Oh come on! What does Bernie have to do with this? Calm the hysterics about Millennials and Gen Z. If the Republican Party goes under, it will be because disproportionately we left it to die. You're welcome.
