I think we're both saying the same thing here ey
I think you’re saying that pizzagate was such an elaborate conspiracy with little to no proof, it makes people think that any conspiracy of a pedophilic cabal must be as unfounded. Even though we have tons of proof now.
I’m saying that pizzagate took away the shock of the discovery of a real pedophilic cabal by already floating the idea around years before without proof. So people are already used to the idea that it’s real but also used to the idea that they can’t do anything about it, even though there is a lot of evidence this time.
Yes.
