Why are so many MAGATs attracted to the JFKA?

What we need is funding to find a cure for TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" perfectly describes what MAGATS, who, like Trump, simply can't accept the fact that he lost the 2020 election, are suffering from.

I certainly did. A few months after I joined the Ed Forum, I was struck by the leftist-leaning sympathies of seemingly all the participants. They all seemed to have a dreamy-eyed near-worship of JFK and utopian notions of what the country would be like today if he and RFK had lived. I actually started a thread on the topic, which clearly hit a nerve because it was met with howls of umbrage. As it turns out, this was before the emergence of The Donald. The emergence of The Donald has fractured everything so badly that intelligible theories are hard to formulate. My observation would be that LNers tend to be conservative while CTers of the CIA-did-it ilk tend to be liberal, but that's probably painting with too broad a brush. Possibly it's no more complex than "Whatever The Donald finds interesting the MAGA folks ipso facto find interesting." Trump is a wacky conspiracy sort of guy; ergo, we are wacky conspiracy sorts of folks. I don't really see an ideological basis, as I saw at the Ed Forum.

It's funny that a lot of far-left JFKA buffs voted for The Traitorous Orange Turd -- because he promised to release the files on George Joaniddes or some-such thing.

The KGB's multi-decade efforts to get a "useful idiot" (or worse) person like Trump elected finally paid off in 2016, thanks in-part to the efforts of the likes of Joachim Joesten, Thomas G. Buchanan, Mark Lane, overly ambitious, scandal-plagued, and revengeful Jim Garrison, Paese Sera newspaper and Ralph Schoenman, Oliver Stone, Jim DiEugenio, and Oliver Stone (did I already mention him?).

There are right wing conspiracy believers as well. Several of the talking heads at Fox have expressed on air their beliefs in a conspiracy. Jesse Watters and Joey Jones to name a few. Liberal Bill Maher has also indicated he believes there was a conspiracy. On the other hand, Vincent Bugliosi was very much a leftist and there has never been a stauncher defender of the WC than him.

Looking back, I'm glad Trump lost in 2020. If he hadn't, he wouldn't be POTUS now. That also spreads out the pain of those suffering from TDS from 8 years to 12.

Assuming he leftist media don't inspire a competent assassin, Trump will tie Grover Cleveland for the second longest period from his first day in office until his last. FDR will have beaten them both by 39 days.
