Most of the general public don't give a spombleprofglidnoctobuns about the JFK assassination. Most of the general public don't know the details other than those gleaned from conspiracy-monger pulp fiction. Conspiracy-theorizing has always been the real national sport in America.
Yes. And for the younger generation - under 40 or so - most of what they know comes from watching the Stone movie in history class. Swell, just swell.
These supposed JFK "conspirators" are almost all dead. We have Paine and who else? Any major figure, anyone in "command" has long been dead. To think this nefarious "they" care about what is said here is just...well, I have no words. To think "they" reward "LN shills" is, again, I have no words. Not all conspiracy believers suffer from a form of "conspiracism"; but not all of them don't either.
Conspiracism is defined as: "Conspiracism serves the needs of diverse political and social groups in America and elsewhere. It identifies elites, blames them for economic and social catastrophes, and assumes that things will be better once popular action can remove them from positions of power. As such, conspiracy theories do not typify a particular epoch or ideology."
So we see Trump and his supporters promoting them; and Trump's hardcore opponents promoting them as well. Trump is a conman and narcissist who warrants removal from office; but he's not a Manchurian candidate controlled by Putin. But I don't think this is unique to the US. Maybe more prevalent now; but there's always been conspiracy beliefs - the Jews killed Jesus, the Masons control the world, type of thinking.
