I don't think it's too far fetched at all to entertain the idea that Biden didn't catch COVID, that the story was fabricated to allow a clean transition to a new candidate. The magnitude of lie and manipulation isn't shit relative their other tactics.
If one assumes all politicians are selfish, evil liars until proven otherwise and understands the processes of the system then one can often predict the future. And, most everyone will hate them for it until they're dead.
Why do people love conspiratorial thinking so much? Do you know how many people would have to be in on this? And how many you'd have to trust not to blab? And how hard it would be for them to keep a huge secret? Even if you were right about predicting the future (and you're not), someone would have to gamble on all of this. You ever notice how with very few exceptions crazy shit like this doesn't fail and come out - which statistically should happen all the fucking time unless everyone is supremely competent.
Sorry, friend, but no this is completely far fetched and if you'd ever worked for the government you'd fall over laughing at the idea. If anyone was this good, they sure as hell don't work for the government.
Because the well reasoned ones are often proven true in a few decades. During Trump we had truth in months. But, typically the President can follow the script.
Four: controller, media content, doctor, and spouse.
Do you know how easy it is to deceive the masses? Neolibs aren't nearly as far ahead of the MAGA cult as they like to believe.
Ok, but what about this one?
