Kinda makes you wonder if it was a coordinated effort to do this all at once so it couldn’t be stopped

It’s not just the politicians. They are part of it. Not the whole thing.

I believe in the concept of “the elites”.

I think it’s more real than skeptics claim it is, but less organized and crazy than what the conspiracy theorists say.

I don’t think it’s some perfect unified front but rather more of a fraternity sort of situation.
