To be fair, literally everything they've done in the past 15 months was projected at some point. It's all they do.

So yeah, I would not put it past them to try stupid conspiracy shit like that. Because they talked about it so much.

"put it past" and "this happened" aren't the same though. A lot of people here are convinced a few pieces of meaningless circumstantial evidence is "proof".

Yeah, I'm not agreeing with people stating it as fact, but I'm also not going to disregard the possibility entirely because these people are fucking unhinged.

I also think very poorly of people who don't say "this happened" but speak about it so strongly that it's clear they believe it did. If all I was seeing was questions being asked or the possibility being posed, I wouldn't be concerned. But what I've actually seen was, within hours, many people being completely convinced this was staged. This deeply concerns me.

Fair enough... I try to avoid absolutes like that when it comes to shit like this.

I do think there are a whole lot of things going on to be far more concerned about at the moment though.

Hell yes! Talking about this shit is a waste of time until actual evidence shows up. Maybe I'm wasting me time by trying to fight against it too but I keep seeing these dumb posts and I cannot just sit here silent while people make a fool out of the entire group of people who oppose trump.
