Comment on Ex-White House doctor reveals dead giveaways Joe Biden, 82, is suffering from mental decline

But it’s why the Democrats lost the election. LMAO

I don’t care or know what’s up with him. I just like pointing out when people are coming up with various paranoid conspiracies

Obviously, you don’t know what’s going on with him, because you sound ridiculous. And just so we’re clear, it’s not a paranoid conspiracy if it’s true.
For the record, most voters and even most of Lemmy now admit that things were covered up and that Biden should have dropped out much earlier. By not doing so, he helped pave the way for Trump’s victory.
If you’re not even aware of all that, then why jump in and call it a conspiracy when it clearly isn’t?
I didn’t vote for Trump, so this isn’t some pro-Trump piece.

It’s a conspiracy if people are conspiring. Are you claiming they did not conspire to cover up Joe’s condition? Or are we talking about a conspiracy?

The distinction is important: yes, it was a conspiracy in the literal sense—a coordinated effort by individuals or groups to cover something up.
However, it’s not a “conspiracy theory” to talk about it, especially when the events in question are backed by evidence or widely acknowledged as fact.
The term “conspiracy theory” carries a dismissive tone, implying wild, unfounded speculation or paranoia.
But once the information is proven true or widely verified, it transitions out of “theory” territory and becomes a matter of public record or investigative reporting.
Seems like you did a little research and now you’re backtracking. Dude, you were mocking it as a “conspiracy theory,” implying it didn’t actually happen. And you know that. Stop pretending.
Now you’ve realized it was true and not just a “theory.” It’s okay to admit you were wrong or that your tone might have come across differently than you intended.
