The human mind seeks meaning in the world whether or not there is meaning to be found. In this sense, we are all inherently conspiracy theorists. Oh, how complex when there actually is meaning. How do we tell the real from the fabricated? How do we tell when we are being lead astray? It would seem that some of us have a difficult time telling when we are being manipulated; when false equivalencies are proffered; when there is a constantly shifting narrative that flies in the face of what we are experiencing. It would seem impossible for anyone to watch the daily “briefings” by Trump and not have a sense of the surreal as he crafts and recrafts his reality. But therein lies the fly in our ointment as there are those who join the president in the rainbow world he paints and shows up with loaded long guns in the chamber of the Michigan congress “protesting” that the state should end social distancing orders.
