"Any attempt to rein in Righty conspiracy theorists and make them actually useful will have to consider their actual interests and aptitudes. And they have them. Many of them are backbone-of-America types: they have jobs, have family lives, and are actively engaged in their communities in various ways. They turn out to events and meetings. They’re genuinely enthusiastic. They’re hard workers. They’re curious about the world and passionate to make a difference in it. They are genuinely interested in learning about things that aren’t immediately obvious. It’s just that they learn them from random YouTube videos because they don’t know how to use PACER to find court records, or how to file FOIA applications to get government documents, or how to look up Form 990s to learn about how nonprofits are organized and funded.

…but what if they did know those things?"

Why is someone else having a different opinion a "problem" that needs to be solved? What is this Orwellian crap coming from the right? Are they trying to compete for AOC's job?

They're posts from a dude that cause people to research what the government is doing. Jesus Christ you people are so bamboozled by the MSM that you think fellow Patriots are your enemy.

What do you know about the "Q" phenomenon? Did you watch it develop for the past 4 years like I have? You want to tell me that I don't know what I saw?
