I think this is about as likely as other conspiracy theories: not at all.

We’re going to find out that he’s just a guy. Which is disheartening when we imagine someone coming along and saving us and setting right all the wrongs.

But also he’s just a guy. I’m not saying killing is the way forward, but he inspires the belief that we can change the world ourselves. We don’t just live in a world controlled by the rich or shadowy conspiracies; we live in a world where we can have an impact.

I think this is about as likely as other conspiracy theories: not at all.

Yeah, I know, but hoping is more fun than not.

You mean like we’ve suddenly achieved lower denial rates or single-payer healthcare? Nothing so grand, but people are talking and both sides of the political spectrum have found a semblance of unity over this—which is probably the biggest thing they don’t want to see, is people taking their eyes off the culture war and noticing the class war.
