The dirty little secret in today’s attention-driven society is that outrage drives revenue. Fanning the flames during turbulent times with seemingly plausible conspiracy theories is a highly profitable endeavor for those who know what they are doing.
In the aftermath of the assassination attempt, many hyper-online conservatives seeded hyperbolic conspiracy theories alleging the deep state orchestrated the entire event. Accounts across Twitter and elsewhere of multiple shooters and complicit Secret Service agents have fanned the flames of conspiracy-prone Americans while generating a significant amount of revenue.
But the left is arguably worse. After calling to tone down the rhetoric, Democrats and their affiliated groups are quite literally comparing Trump and JD Vance to Hitler. They are forced to fan the flames of their base because Democrats don’t have a candidate to vote for - only someone to vote against. Democrats don’t have a message of a brighter tomorrow, only one of pain and suffering if they lose. In short, the left is going to continue to fan the flames because that’s their only move left. Watch:
If Trump was Hitler all the leftists/Democrats/Progressives would have been rounded up from 2016-2020 and put into internment camps. The facts they weren’t, shows Trump was never Hitler.
Once you start routinely comparing your opponents to Hitler (going back to G W Bush), what is left?
