I have a lot of friends on Facebook. Co-workers, high school, college friends, friends of friends,

basically a mix of typical America. A number of them are all ready casting doubt on the "official story" of the MAGABomber. "I smell a set-up", "false flag?", "too obviously pro-Trump", etc. Extrapolating from just my friends list, there are millions of Americans who feel this way. Millions who have a very twisted view of the world around them. Millions who are on an edge of reality, ready to tip over into a kind of psychosis. Millions.

I have an extended family with enough of people in it who think this crazy shit too. I'm betting you do also. I think we all do. and that's what scares me. BTW, I've never "unfriended" anyone. I don't know how and I don't measure myself by my friends list.

I haven't even seen or had a real conversation with the people on my friends list who post this stuff. I'm not on Facebook a lot, and only recently see this shit.

look online, it's not just the van. There's pictures of this guy at the trump rallies. I even saw one on Twitter with the #MAGABomber and the black guy with the "trump isn't a racist sign&quot not to be confused with the blacksfortrump2020 dot com dude).

You can't fake pictures of the guy at trump rallies. (well, they might think the Deep State photoshopped them too).

don't do Facebook, because I don't need private people ideology bothering me.

We know this is what they would say. Don't care, I live in reality.

No need to twist things around for someone who is not a member of your political family. They are feeling it.
