Man with brain injury who recently had been publicly eviscerated for a rightward swing maybe is a little bit careless when driving

Yeah? And? There are accidents all the time.

Yeah it’s suspicious.

Total non sequiter.

Just come out and say what you think is going on. Was this some convulated failed assassination? Was he trying to murder suicide? Did the deepstate cut his brakes because he told Bill Maher too much?!

A bunch of bad stuff happened in his life recently and he had a bit of a mental lapse when driving. Maybe you should stop reading so many conspiracy blogs.

Also: I find it hilarious how much extrapolation people replying made here. Y’all are just as bad as the rightwingers you think you’re better than.

Lol wut? You're the one claiming something suspicious happened in this extremely boring non lethal non interesting event that happens every minute of every day, but now I'M the consisparcy blog nut?

There is no consisparcy here! You are making so many wild jumps here. I was laughing at you with those 3 """theories""".

I never said the word conspiracy, nor implied it. I don’t know why this is so difficult to understand.

Then what exactly is suspicious?!?

That he got into an accident after a series of negative things happened to him. I’m saying I doubt it was an “accident.” Dude is possibly dangerous to himself and others.

I’m saying I doubt it was an “accident.”

That is literally the definition of a conspiracy.

A conspiracy of one person? I’m saying Fetterman is possibly lying about it being an “accident.” Just him alone.

What, so he intentionally rear-ended the other car? If he wasn't intending to hit the car, it was an accident, regardless of any impairment that might have caused it.

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m suggesting might have happened here. He’s not in a good way right now, that’s plain as day from his wild ideological shift.

So what would his motive be? He suddenly wanted to try to kill himself and his wife?

Yes, at least himself. But the timing is very suspicious here given what has been happening with him (clinical depression, sudden change in personality, etc.). I would not be shocked if this is the start of more reckless behavior.

Jesus. You should've just said that from the start. Maybe he is, who knows.

But look at the mass downvotes and negative responses to your original comment. You need to understand that conspiracy nuts think everything is suspicious and part of whatever grand master plan they believe in. So when you talk like a nut, people assume you are one and treat you as such.

A single person’s actions should be able to be called “suspicious” and not automatically go down some crazy conspiracy theory rabbit hole. That’s what I mean by wild extrapolation by commenters here, it’s literally the behavior of the far right.

should be able to be called “suspicious”

Its easy to say everyone misunderstood me, but you should look at the common factor in each of those misunderstandings. You can think you communicated perfectly, but if the net effect is so many people didn't understand you, then perhaps it's time to consider more precise word choice instead of vague thinks like "suspicious".

The common factor is that everyone wanted to score easy internet points by painting my original comment as something it was not.
