Did Maxine Waters sort of prove that both sides of the aisle engage in conspiracy fantasies?

Asked by josie (30934points) December 17th, 2019

On CNN she gave her ideas on Donald Trump and Vlad Putin, admitting that she had no facts to prove it, but she believed it anyway.

I have no facts to prove it, but I believe she might be psychotic.

I think Hank Johnson might be too. And I have facts…

Read “The Russia Hoax”.
There’s not one thing that has been dis proven about that book.
The right is under assault from the left who never accepted the election results.

Absolutely. I was never in doubt that both sides engage in the promotion of baseless conspriacy theories; no one side owns it. But I’m sure there’s a poorly-edited YouTube video out there that supports her theory; that’s where most conspiracy theorists get their evidence, after all.

“Never accepted the election results.” That’s a very odd statement. Of course we “accept it.” We don’t like it, but we have no choice but to accept it.

@Dutchess_III I can’t help but laugh every time I see or hear an American rant about how Trump is “Not my President”.

^^Trump is not their President is a serious sentiment by serious people. You laughing is ridiculous.

To the OP. Both sides equally? My guess is there are more trumpian nuts and extreme right wing nuts than the other side. There should be a study on this just to find out who is more crazy.

@mazingerz88 “The earth is flat!” is another serious sentiment made by serious people.

@cheebdragon it’s just some people’s way of saying that they are embarrassed by him and wish they didn’t have to be associated with him.
