re: #48 Killgore Trout

Good points.

I think that explains a lot of what’s going on with the right. The conspiracies are a crutch to explain away things they don’t want to admit. They are regressing to anything that feels familiar as a comfort. Even though world wide communism isn’t a threat anymore they accept the Birch society conspiracies and pretend that they are fighting communism because it feels familiar to them.

I realize the economy sucks. Other than that, what’s really changed a whole hell of a lot? Why are they feeling so devoid of comfort?
