30 November 2024 - American conspiracy 1

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

I'm slow, but it has dawned on me: Most Americans are conspiracy theorists. They go for gravity-defying beliefs and build any supporting framework themselves. Obama was elected because many believed his impossible promises, like eliminating all nuclear weapons. This time they elected Trump because they believe that he will cut inflation--even they know that his tariffs will raise prices.
