Letter: Conspiracy theories don’t add up

I think I’ll create a conspiracy. Don’t know what, but it’s gotta be easy. Some have had great success, so why not? All I need is a subversive plot with no evidence or supporting facts, then post it and hope some conspirator celebrity will see it, pick up the ball and run. Just consider these: Holocaust deniers, Hitler, Hoffa and Elvis are alive, fake moon landings, staged Sandy Hook children massacre, and Birtherism with phantom evidence in Hawaii? “People say” is an adequate substitute for evidence.

Now we have the systemic, massive voter fraud conspiracy of 2020. The Attorney General and his nationwide network of federal attorneys and agents have discovered no cases of significant voter fraud. At last count 20 Republican lawsuits have yielded zero changed ballots. All that power and influence and Trump’s forces of federal attorneys and Republican lawyers can’t dig up any proof. Yet, he continues to cry fraud, rigged and conspiracy.

I say “Put up or Shut up,” it ain’t there!

On second thought, I’ll not be making up a conspiracy. I can’t come up with anything more outrageous than this. But “People are saying …”
