next, i suspect you'll see some kind of crazy "we're not holding elections this year" kind of ploy. or, russia will shut down our power grid or something akin to mass disruption of everything.
let the conspiracies flow.
If I may make an observation? Everything that the tin-foil hat conspiracy set a decade ago were saying that Obama would do to the United States, Trump has kinda done - or is in process of doing, and they've supported it because it's "necessary" to save the country. Weirdest case of projection, ever.
With this in mind, regarding, "some kind of crazy 'we're not holding elections this year' kind of ploy," it's called Martial Law, and it's not that far of a stretch at this point given how many states need national guard troops with boots on the soil right now.
The strange thing is, through the eye and lens of a weird, narcissistic, ego-maniacal sort of way... there have been moments in this crisis that it looks like Trump is actually
trying to express compassion and help the country he's been tasked with leading, he just doesn't know how to do it in any sort of non-competitive, us-versus-them, selfish sort of way. Doesn't mean that what he's doing is right, it's just what it is - a psychopathic sociopath's misguided efforts of suddenly feeling the weight and seriousness of the office and trying to help others with the only skillset he knows after all the adults that had been around him already left.
After all, why ascribe to malice what incompetence can clearly explain. As a guy who used to have a bit more of a tin-foil hat bend, that's the real flaw of the most easily believed conspiracy theories. Incompetence and human nature go a lot farther toward explaining these events than secret cabals ever could. Also, from a more spiritual/theological position, I really like a line an old acquaintance told me once, "You don't need two people to actively work with one another when the common third party between them is the Adversary (Satan)."
Honestly,
Isaiah 8 as a whole, and 8:12-13 specifically come to mind:
You are not to say, "It is a conspiracy!"
In regard to all that this people call a conspiracy,
And you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of it.
It is the LORD of Hosts whom you should regard as Holy.
And He shall be your fear,
And He shall be your dread.So, I know chasing conspiracy theories can be fun... trying to unravel and prognosticate what's going on... but let me be a voice of reason and experience and warn you all not to indulge this compulsion too much. Going too far down the rabbit hole can be dangerous to your own grip on reality, and right now, more than ever? We need sober minded adults.
