4. I torture myself by engaging with a group of right wingers occasionally.

On Facebook. I’ve known these guys for fifteen years and we’ve gone through a frame by frame analysis of the videos from all angles and they insist they’re seeing the exact opposite thing from what it actually shows. They seem to genuinely believe this. It’s as inexplicable to me as just about every interpretation of the events that have transpired over the time I’ve known them.

You’re probably right that the vast majority of these fools simply parrot what they’re told without doing any critical thinking but my small sample size truly believe the way they’re seeing it is how it went. As crazy as that may seem.

I have to think a good portion of the government officials know exactly what happened but they see an opportunity to use this to their advantage and are taking it.
