Of much more concern is the polarization between the pro-Trump and anti-Trump camps in USA.
I'm sure there's bad behavior with both camps...and yet some wingnutz will go out of their way to join the lunatic fringe...
It seems Pizzagate won't die...today at the Whitehouse, in addition to Trump supporters the lunatics that actually believed Alex Jones, who perpetuated the
Pizzagate protested.
Alex Jones is that far right radio host who actually had Trump call into his radio show to praise him. Ironically, even though he
apologized for Pizzagate coverage, some people refused to believe the whole thing was a hoax.
Pizzagate Will Never Die: Here's Why the Conspiracy Theory Has New Life.
Like a villain in a bad horror movie, Pizzagate, the conspiracy theory that went mainstream, refuses to die. Just when you think the final nail is in the coffin, and Pizzagate has been vanquished to the depths of hell, it once again rears its ugly head like it did this past week.
On Saturday true believers attended a Pizzagate protest in Washington, D.C.'s Lafayette Park and attended by a "couple dozen people," Hill writer Will Sommer reported. For the uninitiated, Pizzagate is a conspiracy theory borne out of emails obtained by Wikileaks from Hillary Clinton's campaign chair, John Podesta. Some conspiracy theorists claimed that Podesta's emails contained code for child sex trafficking. For example, they claim "cheese pizza" is code for child pornography. They surmise that this alleged trafficking took place at popular D.C. pizza joint Comet Ping Pong, because the venue was also mentioned in Podesta's correspondence.
In the run up to the election and after, Pizzagate became so prevalent that one believer Edgar Maddison Welch, disturbed by the allegations and believing they were true, drove to Comet from North Carolina armed with a 9mm AR-15 rifle and .38-caliber revolver and fired shots inside the restaurant in December 2016. No one was injured, but Welch was arrested and pled guilty to gun and assault charges; Welch's plea was finalized in court Friday, March 24. But this did not put an end to the conspiracy theories. In fact, they may be gaining in popularity.

Now, I'm not saying these people are Trump supporters...but the odds are they didn't vote for Hillary, ya know? In fact, Will also posted a tweet
A giant Trump trailer blasting God Bless America has arrived. Pretty sure this is an example of the #FAKENEWS campaign that was instigated and or spread by the Russians...
It looks like Russia hired internet trolls to pose as pro-Trump Americans.
This would be mildly troublesome except that a 2nd amendment nut decided to go to the pizza parlor and shoot it up. He recently pleaded out in the case:
'Pizzagate' Gunman Pleads Guilty to Comet Ping Pong ShootingHow does this relate to Trump? Well, what person in his right mind would associate with somebody like Alex Jones? The right wing lunatic that said Sandy Hook was a hoax and the Orlando shooting was a false flag operation orchestrated by the Obama admin. Why did Trump do a 30 minute interview with him? You can listen to this on YouTube video
Jones & Trump.
But Jone's isn't done...InfoWars posted this:
ALEX JONES: WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY KILL TRUMP?As violent rhetoric against the president becomes the new norm, Trump strives to restore the Republic and bring back true Americana.
True Americana?Like the people who believe the theory, which claimed that John Podesta's emails, which were leaked by WikiLeaks, contained coded messages referring to human trafficking and connecting a number of restaurants in the United States and members of the Democratic Party with a fabricated child-sex ring.
Well, at least Jones apologized for that yet there are still people protesting near the Whitehouse to save our children from Pedestal...
Hopefully, we here on LuLa can all agree that InfoWars is an example of
REAL FAKE NEWS...right?
