The United States is currently in the midst of a grand experiment: what happens if we give the cranks, the maniacs, the grifters, the late-night AM radio conspiracy theorist call-in people the reins of the country? What happens if we hand over the government to the tinfoil hat wearers who have spent centuries thinking the government and its various nefarious plots are behind every evil deed?

100% disagree.

These chucklefucks wouldn't know a proper conspiracy if it bit them in the face. It's all Qanut soundbites and one-liners that barely make coherent sense for a one-liner. They know nothing. They are interested in nothing except exploiting the moment for their own gain.
