First: 'everybody knows' the gummint is up to some hinky shit (and this may well be a case where Both Side Do It actually applies)(I'm a Dem only because there isn't really a better alternative; we're a long way off from functional anarchy)(but I digress).

So given that we get lied to and manipulated by Powers That Be all the time, if you hear a theory that blames that manipulation on people you already don't like, your brain gonna jump on it with all four feet. Or however many feet your brain has. It helps make sense of a world that too often doesn't, and blaming THOSE PEOPLE is a tried and true method for keeping the willies at bay. Did I mix enough metaphors yet or should I keep going?
