I was watching an episode of the old Wyatt Earp series starring Hugh O’Brian. He was faced with a group of vigilantes masquerading as a citizen’s committee. The leaders were crooked and conning reputable citizens into doing bad things in the name of law and order.
The situation reminded me of today’s conning people to do things ordinary people wouldn’t normally do or believe. Those people who were involved in the January 6 insurrection were good examples of how easy it is to con people into committing a crime. The ring leaders weren’t there, just the fools who were conned into believing every thing that was wrong in their lives could be fixed by believing in conspiracies.
Some people believe the GOP is being conned by a few sycophants to believe the most outrageous conspiracies they wouldn’t normally believe. More and more people are beginning to see the evil autocratic path the GOP has taken. Those sycophants of a wanna-be dictator are corrupting the modern American society by trying to go back to an age before science and the constitution.
The capitol insurrection was just like the Wyatt Earp episode where a few people persuaded others to do wrong.
