Neither is conspiracy theory the “answer”.

Well, yes, I certainly agree with that as well. It’s fair to say that it’s healthy to question and examine the government and question whether it has good intentions for its people. Beyond that though, the Q Anon thing is pretty cult like, it’s based on a lot of hearsay and nonsense, and it doesn’t actually encourage people to think for themselves. My gran lived through the Great Depression and WW2 and I think she’s right when she told me that “people tend to start believing bizarre things under times of distress or disorder”. I’m not gonna blather on about my own opinions of Q (except that I’ll say it’s a crazy story with more plot holes than ‘facts’, with no objectivity or “research” whatsoever).
The point of my comment though was that it’s creepy to me how people are so “one or the other” about everything. If you dislike Trump, you were assumed to love Hilary. If you say you’re not into the left, people assume you must be on the right. In particular, many people who claim to be “left” (and thus assume that means they’re the “progressive ones” who care about human rights and all-sorts of other good things) but then they adamantly are against freedom of speech. That’s what I meant by fascism creeping in from all sides, I Feel political correctness is simply another annoying thread of fascism.
The left and the right are two wings of the same poisoned bird.
