I suppose people are waiting to see if a prominent person is accused. Or maybe for accusations that are outrageous.

The stupidest thing about conspiracy theories is that they often assume that if "the public only knew" then something would change. "The public" doesn't give a fuck.

My opinion is that people just wanted to lock up Trump (or Clinton), and all the raped little girls are beside the point.

I've been going down a YouTube rabbithole about a recent LEGO related scandal. It's a long and complicated story I won't go into but it involves corruption being exposed in a company called Bricks and Minfigs and corruption also being exposed in a police department in Utah. People are being sued left and right, the guy who spread the word about the corruption is in danger of going to jail, BAM is losing a lot of business, but I haven't heard anything about the police being held accountable for their actions. The general public is punishing the big business involved by boycotting, but I don't know of anything being done to punish the corrupt police.

So I just keep thinking throughout this how exposing the corruption to the public leads to consequences if the corrupt group is a big business, but virtually nothing is dine when it's a government agency. And what can the public do? Can't boycott the police. We can demand accountability but we only have so much power. The main power people have over government is leveraging votes but now the American government is plotting to make voting harder. Exposing corruption to the public may damage big businesses but the public seems to be helpless when the government is corrupt. A fucking criminal organization is running the federal government and almost nothing is being done about it. The public all know. Now what's to be done?

Update: since posting this comment, I heard that the people in Fork, Utah are protesting over this. I wonder if they'll also be having a NO King's protest in that town today
