Should we really give the whole country a pass on reason when it comes to JFK conspiracies?

83. It would be interesting to have a breakdown

of the age of people who do and do not believe that Oswald acted alone. I could be wrong, but it seems like people who were old enough to remember the assassination clearly, people who were in their teens or older, are more likely not to trust the official version. I was 17. For that Friday and Saturday, I could go along with the arrest of Oswald, assuming that his story would come out during a trial and we would get some clarity on his motives, but when Oswald himself was murdered, our opportunity to know definitively was gone forever. The authorities were convinced they had their man, and so the narrative was shaped.

As our liberal heroes fell one by one over the coming years, and as the country moved further and further to the right, it became impossible (for me, at least) to ignore that nefarious forces were at work. Of course, I would never go so far as to think that the assassinations were a coordinated effort, but the events of that time did make it mighty easy for the right wing to take over and for us to lose hope. I mean, really, who would have the courage to stand up for us when the threat of being gunned down was always present?

So call me a tin-foil hat conspiracy theorist all you want, laugh and point, lmao smilies and all of that. It's not going to change one iota how I feel about this.
