This is pretty mainstream. The problem isn't even necessarily that they were trying to recruit these guys. The problem is that they covered it up.
Yes. It's depressing but from forums you'd never know how few they actually number.
Yeah the American people outnumber the FBI by a huge margin
They also outnumber the crank conspiracy theorising quacks who've hijacked entire national conversations. Outnumber in population, but not volume.
You think so? According to the media your description would apply to everyone who voted for Trump.
I know so - by definition a crank must be in some minority. What I think is this dumb subset shouts above its weight.
Not is every Trump voter is a crank (there are multiple reasons people vote for a fascist). But "the media" isn't against either of them. They are both minorities that Fox News amplified to make money over the past two decades.
