|content=For some reason, almost everyone I know either see two conspiracies against Trump or zero. I see only one conspiracy against him to date and it’s not fungible. His behavior is outrageous but those pointing it out as unethical have been compromised themselves by hatred. That’s it.

The following strikes me.
{{#widget:Tweet|id=1414636177982824457}}
Ā 
-->
A) Trump is a true political outsider &amp; the only one to reach the Presidency with zero government experience.
{{#widget:Tweet|id=1466213382239916034}}
Ā 
B) There is an obvious open institutional conspiracy to prevent any outsider gaining power.

|content=C) The media was good calling out all the really bad things Trump did.
Ā 
D) The media was bad calling out any positive thing Trump said or did and painted him evil.
Ā 
E) Journalists in 2020 &amp; 2016 unethically became activists misreporting a big blue wave or Hilary’s inevitable win.

Ā 
I) The right says ā€œYou guys aren’t fair about anything. Your unbiased commentary is a 24/7 open conspiracy to misrepresent the world.

|content=He’s now in a state where he’s convinced that his feeling that he won together with the obvious total abdication of journalism’s responsibility to eschew activism is enough to overturn the results.
Ā 
Which is nuts. It’s like ā€œfeelingā€ that someone is guilty &amp; expecting conviction.

|content=Yes media is guilty of political agitation while enjoying the protection of neutral journalists. Yes they have conspired against him at every turn. But IT’S NOT FUNGIBLE. The anti-Trump media conspiracy is not a vote counting conspiracy. He can’t cash in one to win the other.

|content=He doesn’t understand. He’s free to become a private citizen and spend his remaining days looking for evidence of a conspiracy to steal the election. But he’s not free to say ā€œOur rallies were huge!ā€ While trying to stay in office. Results are presumed fair until proven otherwise

|content=So while I agree with him that trust in our institutions is at rock bottom for good reasons, he’s WAY out of line. I don’t think Biden won fair &amp; square after the anti Gabbard/Yang BS. But i treat the general as a free and fair election in the absence of credible legal evidence.

|content=Which is to say this: we have a lot of unethical media people dancing and celebrating Trump’s loss. And it remains *possible* that we will learn something nefarious happened. But pretending now that a media conspiracy is an electoral conspiracy w/o proof is insane &amp; outrageous.

|content=I’m happier to see him go than I am sad to see Biden arrive. But he isn’t wrong that there was a media/institutional conspiracy. He’s wrong elsewhere: he doesn’t have the goods on electoral fraud. But the number of us who see the former conspiracy but not the latter is *tiny*.

|content=Fair question. Assume you are at the apex of the US intelligence community hierarchy and hold this attitude. Haven’t you just explained with your question precisely why so many Trump supporters don’t believe the election result?

Point me to any group who has been better at keeping both major camps together and I will boost that signal.

Ā 
It committed the ultimate media sin: bringing us together towards mutual understanding. You should reach out to @joerogan or any of us who have tried to stand apart. Don Lemon and Rachel Maddow can’t do this.

He remains an existential risk to America and its values. We are very particular about how we take out the trash: this is anti-American.
