    Same reason they’re still hung up on Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton: the nazi grifters keep recycling the same material.

    If anything, they’re going further and further back, reviving fringe conspiracies, so that it seems like the plot to oppress them has continuity throughout history, even since ancient times. (Of course, the problem with that is having to skirt around the OG nazis, who did the same thing with essentially the same conspiracies.)

      To them nothing exists before Reagan, except when they want to bash Carter as the caveman that Reagan took America from.

      Go back any further, and they have the only president who was never elected (Ford) or the first president to resign in disgrace (Nixon), although every Republican president since Nixon should have resigned, or in the case of one, arrested, tried, and executed.

        Oh yeah, I was saying more broadly, but you’re right.

        Also, reading your reply made me realize something: this existential apocalyptic danger that they use to justify their extremism, it’s both a recent emergency that will destroy society if we don’t act now and an ancient Satanic plot that has existed since time immemorial.

          You reference to a societal emergency reminded me of Skum’s recent Cheesehsed Speech, in which he claimed the the Wisconsin Supreme Court election was important to the entire world. His propaganda starts at about 1:20.
