I said it in another thread, too, but, to generalize a bit, this really show one of the differences between left/right, conservative/progressive. The right tries to understand reality, the left tries to force reality to fit their ideology.
Rightwing conspiracy theories have the goal of explaining reality.
Leftwing conspiracy theories are attempting to make reality conform to their ideology.
Which is why you get insane shit like this: They're working backward, not forward. They're not looking at the facts and trying to figure out what happened, they're looking at what happened, and trying to make facts that fit with their worldview. They're not trying to learn the truth, they're scrambling for a way to make, for example, Orange Man still be Bad.
Exactly. Their logic is not cause then effect, it's effect then cause.
Once you look for it in the left you'll see it everywhere.
For instance they say more blacks are pulled over for speeding so therefore the cause is racism. So they institute expensive and expansive controls and find out... more blacks are speeding, and in exactly the proportion they are given speeding tickets.
Or the wage gap, women are paid less therefore discrimination when the reality is they're collectively just doing less.
The black female Supreme Court member did this in oral arguments, saying that fewer blacks in some government role was proof of systemic discrimination against blacks, which is this same backwards logic. So it even affects the 'top minds' on the left.
All of a sudden the people who insisted you were a crazy conspiracy theorist are okay with creating 80 conspiracies all with Trump as the mastermind.
