Whenever I watched pre-election Trump campaign rallies, I always wondered about the people shouting “Lock her up,” referring to Hillary Clinton. Clinton has never been charged with, much less convicted of, any criminal act. So, on what basis would she be locked up? Would there be an arrest warrant issued by a judge, followed by a trial, followed by inevitable appeals? Or would we just grab her off the street and send her to Sing Sing?
But recently, given the publicity about fake news websites, I began to understand the “lock her up” people. There is probably more fake news on the internet (at least about the Clintons) than real news, and much of it consists of imaginary crimes and made-up conspiracies.
How gullible do you have to be to believe this insane nonsense? I’m surprised that someone hasn’t taken an AR-15 to one of Clinton’s concocted crime scenes to investigate it himself. Oh, wait – someone has.
Before the bizarre “pizzagate” story, Clinton was accused of murdering people – lots of people. Then the ante was upped, and she was accused of eating the people she killed. Then the ante was upped again, and it wasn’t “people,” it was children. Then the story morphed into a child sex ring operated by Clinton and her campaign manager in tunnels under a pizza restaurant. Could the story get any weirder? I guess it could, if Clinton is exposed as a space alien or a robot from the future. And I expect somebody to start that story, because clearly people will believe anything. The faculty of common sense and the ability to stay grounded in reality seem unattainable for a large segment of the populace. Facts don’t matter these days. In the online conspiracy world, reality is what you believe it is, and facts be damned.
The truth about Hillary Clinton is that she is a space Nazi from a secret Nazi base hidden on the far side of the Moon. You read it here first.
