The left's brilliant new theory: Putin is using Trump to destroy health care, 'kill as many Americans as possible'

Scott Dworkin's crackpot conspiracy theory is fascinating

However, their founder's crackpot conspiracy theory is fascinating. It seems that Vladimir Putin installed Trump as the U.S. President in order to kill "as many Americans as possible." ...By destroying ObamaCare.

If u were Putin & wanted to kill as many Americans as possible—wouldn't taking away their healthcare do the trick? #trumprussia #russiagate

Putin vs ObamaCare" theory

If you think that sounds bonkers, congratulations. Recognition of such looney thinking should serve as evidence of your own sanity. You're not alone, either. Immediately, people started to point out that this idea was, in a word, nuts. So, of course, Dworkin employed the standard, "I wasn't serious" line. The problem is, if you read the rest of Dworkin's feed, you'll see that the "Putin vs ObamaCare" theory isn't all that different from the loopy stuff he takes seriously.

@funder mmm... coming up with spurious bullshit just makes people trust you less though. It's counter-productive.

Maybe that's why so many people failed to understand that Dworkin was also using the other left-wing tactic of insinuating criminality by "just asking questions."

@funder ummm ok

Oh. Now it's suddenly not Putin who's demanding small government reforms? Good to know. But, wait, the Tea Party boogeyman is back? That's weird, because I could have sworn the left spent the last 6 years telling us that the Tea Party was a failed, defunct, movement that was rendered irrelevant and consigned to the scrap-heap of history. Now, it's risen from the ashes? It must have been hiding all this time - growing in secret, replenishing its membership, strategizing - waiting until the time was right to unleash its fury upon the world. Looks like Mr. Dworkin has a new conspiracy theory on his hands...
