Conspiracy Theories And The Election

[Pioneer1]

Say what?
'said you don't believe in Conspiracy Theories?

Well.....'yo bad, lol.
Because many if not most Americans of ALL races and most socio-economic backgrounds DO.

That's another reason Trump won.

From vaccine conspiracies to cell phone tower conspiracies, most Americans believe something or someone(s) are orchestrating and benefiting from most of the problems this nation faces.

Republicans entertain their fears and concerns, while Democrats tend to ridicule them and their answer to every question is to just shut up and "trust science" and not question anything.
Most adults don't like being lied to OR lectured to, especially by people who they don't feel has their best interests in mind.

Like Troy said in another thread, the Republican party is increasingly becoming seen as the party of the working class masses.
Not because they truly have the best interests of the working classes, but they know how to pander to their beliefs and fears. 

If Democrats and Progressives have the answers to the problems of the American people, then they need to start producing them and solving them in a CRYSTAL CLEAR way that the masses can plainly see and understand.

This is easy to do for both parties especially if they believe half the population is already dumb in one way or another. 

 

It would stand to reason thinking that way when poor and middle class people are voting for people unlike themselves.

Right.  It's easy to cater to fears and beliefs regardless of realism.

Right.  The Democrats have to do find a better way of addressing the needs of the people; reading the room and getting their messages across accordingly.

 

It might be a moot point if naysayers are correct in believing there will be no more free and fair elections.  According to them, America will be red for the never several decades.
