Do you think liberal Russia conspiracies helped to mainstream antisemitic“ZOG” theories?
They’re basically the same thing. It’s just that whereas Russiagate postulates that Trump is being controlled by Russia, ZOG says that he is being controlled by Israel.
Whereas the Russia conspiracy was very big during Trump’s first term, it seems like in his second term it has lost favor and has been replaced by ZOG.
Both theories are stupid, because Trump is a massive narcissist and it’s unlikely that he or the administration can be controlled by anyone other than themselves and the American people.
I think these theories are the inevitable result of people growing up being told that America was exceptional only to learn that it was anything but. Instead of holding Americans accountable for their own bad choices, they invent some conspiracy where it’s not actually Americans that are to blame but rather some nefarious third party.
