The "Jussie Smollet MAGA Lynching Hoax" followed on the heels of the "Covington Catholic MAGA" media scandal. Both of those stories are too good to be true for MAGA country. It makes me wonder if they're anti-globalist propaganda psyops that are meant to discredit the mainstream media and the SJW and "left wing" propaganda apparatus.
The two unfolded the same way. The Jussie Smollet story was obviously a hoax from the start, and as more details emerged it was a dumber and dumber hoax. At the same time, the actor kept doubling down and had a larger and larger stage to discredit himself and everyone that climbed on his fake bandwagon via social media. The Covington story unfolded in much the same way. The circus around the story grew and grew via social media grandstanding and virtue signaling and then the punchline was revealed as a sort of electric fence shock for all the people who attacked the kids.
It wouldn't be very hard to orchestrate either drama. The left wing public and and the mainstream media are predictable. Their credulity for the initial premise of these stories was almost guaranteed. The only thing that wasn't guaranteed was if these stories would go viral.
It's entirely possible that these incidents were completely organic, but I think it's just about as likely that they were staged and setup. It will be interesting to see what happens to Smollet and to find out if he was goaded to stage the incident by a handler or manager.
