Right wing logic scares me

Just had a rightie tell me that the DC police were told by the "deep state" to allow the Trump supporting mob into the Capitol building to make them (the Trump supporters) look bad.


Where do you even start to talk sense with someone that tells you that?

I doubt the FBI will be impressed with this BS.

You cannot talk sense to these people, it just enrages them further.

Troops are not noT needed this is just another ploy to eliminate Trump so he cannot run again.

Then later, George stood off camera pointing a gun at trump, so he would make that White House video, denouncing the violence.
See how easy it is to make up shit.

9. Maybe if we express the truth to them as a conspiracy theory they'll believe it

For example: Trump is not really Trump but a liberal dressed as Trump trying to destroy the real Trump who is dressed as Biden.

Maybe that will work.

To stop Biden from taking office, they would probably try to assasinate trump thinking it was Biden in a fat suit.

I wouldn’t put it past them, they are a bunch of idiots!

And then this rightie you're talking about doesn't take the next logical step and realize that the "deep state" (presumably) didn't hold a gun to their heads and MAKE them go to the Capitol building and become part of a violent insurrection that stormed Capitol Hill.
