Its a perfect encapsulation of conspiracy logic.

Everything is more expensive, wage growth sucks class mobility is dead... is this because of the complex, yet inherent and inevitable nature of poorly regulated capitalism, which is poorly regulated because of the policies our people support?

No, its because of totally secret machinations of the Illuminati, which we definitely know about but also cannot demonstrate. It has to be!

Climate change is so bad now that its undeniable... us this because if the complex yet inherent and inevitable nature of poorly regulated capitalism which is poorly regulated because of the policies our people support?

No, its the result of a dastardly secret plan of evil deep state cabal scientists operating a secret weather machine which we definitely know they are doing even though we cannot demonstrate any of that. It has to be!

The modern GOP clearly hates Occum’s razor.

Cause of increasing hurricanes:

  • A) climate change that was predicted decades ago, and is agreed upon by every major climatology study.
  • B) or, shadowy cabal of liberals and Jews that use space lasers and weather controlling machinery to screw the right. And, unlike every government or company on earth, these organization are so aligned and well organized that no whistleblowers ever come forward.

Obviously got to be B.
