Jorep 10/25/18 12:41:36 AM #101: | @HashtagTartarus I would say that it's definitely a possibility, but relatively unlikely. Even assuming there's just some crazy good ol' boy out there with the drive and wherewithal to send these bombs out, it would only be doing damage to the right. And most people who really buy into those conspiracy theories and spend time researching them are also likely aware of that. Essentially, why damage your own party doing something that stupid? Unless we're running this as though he's just a complete idiot, which is entirely possible, but I just don't think it's very plausible. I could be wrong. @dreamvoid I would argue that Fox News is not in any way lesser viewed media these days. If anything, they're much more factual in their reporting than both CNN and the BBC on 9 out of 10 occasions. While the Deep State is still a conspiracy theory there's a lot of weight to it, especially in comparison to other "crackpot ideas," and to the point of inciting people to act, I just don't think an argument like that holds water. You and I could talk for hours about the deep state and whether or not we think it's a thing, but as rational, well-meaning people, we're not going to act on these ideas or go out and do something crazy. We are also, by extension, not responsible for someone who might listen in or overhear making their own decision to do something. That's on them, and it's not like we should self-censor our own information exchange based on the presupposition that someone might do something down the line. On the other side of that token, there are mentally ill people on both sides, and the constant violent diatribe pouring out of people like Maxine Waters or Antifa are absolutely inciting people to act in extreme ways. But that doesn't mean I think Maxine Waters should be silenced. She's a village idiot to be sure, but she absolutely has the right to say her piece. --- http://www.youtube.com/channeljorp - Catch me on Youtube https://www.twitch.tv/channeljorp - Or on the Twitch ...
