According to .. Public Policy Polling .. 12 million people in the US believe that interstellar lizards in people suits rule our country. We imported that .. belief from across the pond, where professional conspiracy theorist David Icke has .. maintained that the Queen of England is a blood-drinking, shape-shifting alien ...
The most widely appealing conspiracy theories are the ones that allow a person to insert their own villain of choice, Uscinski says. For example, conspiracy theories around the assassination of JFK are so popular in part because they allow believers to blame the coverup on whichever power they most fear: the US government and associated agencies like the CIA or the former Soviet Union and Cuba ...
While most conspiracies tend to gain traction in a very small number of people, when someone acts on a conspiracy, it can become dangerous very quickly. Cliven Bundy’s followers have tended to believe in everything from the government secretly microchipping millennials to the United Nations running the Bureau of Land Management.

I have never forgiven Hillary for Iraq. Her friendship with war criminal Kissinger also does not require me to take any high road. Swampie's alien meme was spot on in my eyes. We don't need any more "war" presidents. I don't want to lose my son-in-law because she thinks some country is a great business opportunity.
I was opposed to the Iraq war from the beginning, and have been outraged by what our government did to that country. One of the reasons that I don't support Hillary is that she is a hawk on foreign policy. I also dislike her ties to Wall Street and global corporations, including defense contractors. This is the only point that I was trying to make, which you may, of course, disregard, is that this campaign has, in my view, devolved into personal attacks. With the Hillary supporters labeling all of us who support Bernie as "Berniebros" it just feeds their narrative and allows them to sidestep discussing the issues. In short, I think it is counter-productive for our side. 
I would keep the meme alive and be making lizard pics all the time. I can't even draw a good circle. 
He thinks all the rich are Free Masons. There's eye symbols on everything, including the CBS logo. 
I told him that's an eye. When you "watch" TV you use your "eyes". Nope, Free Mason. The world was flat, now it's concave because the math doesn't add up. I've heard it all. Although I believe JFK was a conspiracy and 9/11. That's as far as I go. This kid wants to free the world while spending hours tweeting and facebooking his life away.
But of course that is not their fault.
The husband comes back to camp enthusiastic about discovering that the locals use the same word for 'mountain,' 'tree,' river,' and every thing he points to. He says: This shows the tribe's recognition of the unity of everything.
The wife calmly says: "Dear, did you ask them the local word for 'finger?'"
