FYI: The right wing narrative regarding the Trump scandals. [View all]

So here are some points that the right hears regarding Trump's scandals.

---

A slow-motion coup d’etat is now taking place. Since November 9, 2016, forces within the U.S. government, media, and partisan opposition have aligned to overthrow the Electoral College winner, Donald Trump.

Factions within the United States intelligence community both inside and outside the White House have engaged in a campaign of selective leaks and plots to undermine the president of the United States and weave a media narrative of Russian influence.

There were no Russians involved with the DNC email leaks.
Seth Rich, a DNC employee, was the leaker and subsequently was murdered by Hillary and the left.
They wont look into Seth Rich's death because it destroys their fake Russian narrative.

We are heading into a 1984 world with the administrative state controlling everything we do.
Trump represents the final option to head off the transformation of the American republic into an administrative state where bureaucrats would wield an immutable regulatory dictatorship over the American citizenry.

For those who buy into this, any evidence to the contrary can be dismissed as fake and of course the only honest mainstream news outlet is Fox who supports these theories.

I believe it's useful to be aware of what fantastical story the right weaves because it will be used to attempt to pollute the public's faith in the evidence that is piling up against Trump.
