I don't see much references to "the swamp" anymore now that we have a sitting president doing a crypto grift. I thought dark money and mysterious figures pulling the strings is conspiracy worthy but I guess not when it's Trump.

Well, he drained the swamp, now he's doing what he does best, paving it over and building a soon-to-be-failed casino. Say what you will about "the swamp" (not a big fan myself), but as a metaphor it kinda works since a swamp may be noxious and filled with unsavory swamp creatures... but it's still an ecosystem where competition and co-evolution amongst these swamp species in response to external environmental changes would still be expected.

  It’s simple, see. I can’t believe nobody has explained this to you yet. Your swamp creatures bad, my swamp creatures good.

Republicans straight up lie, but their base is too ignorant to see that. Not to mention the propaganda machine that is Fox News brainwashing them. OR they aren’t ignorant, and are fully aware of things, and instead are scum.

  No one is this ignorant, but if Republicans keep killing education, we'll get there one day.

Or, the conspiracies have been proven true, but it's not with those who the conspiracy-lovers would have expected. Not woke, not Soros, but Trump and his gang were running the exact racket. So I suppose now suddenly the racket is good, doublethink by the book.

  Every accusation is an admission with these folks.

  I feel like the amount of projection from this group of people will be the source of behavioral and political psychology books for generations. "If you're doing something legally or morally wrong, create opponents to accuse of the same things before what you're doing comes out."
