Maybe I’m way off base but my conspiracy brain is active tonight. What’s the likelihood of some false flag attack happening at this parade thing that could be blamed on Iran or whoever else?

    I think this is spot-on. What I haven’t seen mentioned is Trump’s showmanship. He’s a clown, an entertainer. He knows how to drive the ratings and get people to tune in. I think that’s what’s different compared to the last few decades. We have a reality TV star doing livestreams of him committing crimes while posting 24/7.

    Compare that to Obama’s administration where just as much ghoul shit was happening, but a large section of Americans still got their information from the 6 o’clock news. They didn’t have smartphones buzzing anytime Obama drone strike’d another hospital.

    Something similar happened with Vietnam where TV made the war unpalatable compared to Korea just a few years before. Flash forwarding to today, the media hasn’t gotten internet news figured out the same way they did with cable news between the Vietnam and Iraq wars. So now we see Israelis sharing TikTok videos of them committing war crimes with the LAPD doing photo ops for Instagram that makes them look like assholes.
