It's no wonder why segments of society don't believe a word of anything that's reported.

The US gov't and the media are not involved in, and never have been, with faking the murder of children. This is nothing more than right-wing conspiracy theory and hate mongering. These parents were receiving death threats. If anything, you should point your conspiracies towards the NRA and Infowars which actually have a vested economic interest in spreading lies about school shootings, so that they can sell guns and man meat powder to their delusional customers. They take advantage of people's suspicions to sow doubts about reality!

Yup. The government and elite interests have often throughout history acted villainously. There are plenty of real instances of gov't sanctioned conspiracies, killings, intimidation, and manipulation of the public in US history (also in all other history). There's plenty of this shit going on right now as well. Fuzzy however, is attracted to the most out-there, sensationalized bullshit narratives presented to him. He refuses to see all the real conspiracies and cabals, and instead perceives fantastical bogeymen around ever corner. It comes down to a shortcoming in critical thinking skills likely incurred by lack of access to meaningful or inspiring education, and that has led him on this lifelong feedback loop of disdain towards academic discourse, which of course ends in just not having honed the faculties necessary to make reasonable judgements about the likelihood of different narratives.
It's actually a shame because despite our community perception of fuzzy here, he's actually far more intellectually curious than the majority of Trump and right wing type guys out there. If he had a better ability to research, fact-check, and parse information, he might not have so many horrendous takes, but he also has an incredible amount of pride in his identity as an anti-intellectual, so who knows.
Bottom line is: fuzzyroes is a dude who looked at Donald Trump, a multibillionaire born into the .1% neoliberal elite class, a person with extensive corporate and government relationships around the world, including the Clintons, the mafia, Russian oligarchs, and foreign dictators, has a long and documented history of corruption, racism, bad business practices, and sexual misconduct, then runs a campaign uniting people around hatred of migrants and religious minorities....
and fuzzy looks at this guy and thinks, yes, yes this is the man to change things for the better. because he is convincing to me when he talks.
