James,
Such hyperbole from the likes of you. What's wrong Trump saying "the media is the enemy of the people"? And especially CNN? What wrong with Trump's crowd chanting "lock her up" at a Trump rally yesterday? So what of Trump shows-off his physical prowess by demonstrating how to body slam an opponent and his supporters do the same for a reporter in the crowd?
Let's take Hillary for a minute, shall we? So what if a significant portion of Republicans polled believe she headed a child porn ring in a pizza parlor in a psycho-version of Chuckie Cheese? She probably employed some of those 300 defrocked pious priests who chose to go over to the dark side. Don't you follow the Q movement? What's wrong with you? How delusional can you be?
One of the requirements of gaining power by fascist leaders is the elimination of the free press. If the public doesn't trust the media, then the fascist leader can tell them what is true and what is not. That's one very real danger. By targeting the media (besides FoxNews) then only one side of the truth be known-the truth they want you to hear. That should frighten everyone. The other is that some deranged nut will send a bomb to the "enemy of the people." The second danger played out this week. The first is on going.

Encouraging violence by the President of the United States will begat violence, as shown by what happened this week. It likely is a direct result of Trump demonizing his political opponents, and if he says it's OK to body slam a member of the press, then, since they are the enemy of the people, it's OK to send them a pipe bomb, too. Unless you think it's OK to body slam someone who is reporting what is going on in Trump rallies. If that's the case, I'm wasting my time answering your question.

There's nothing technically "wrong" about believing silly conspiracy theories other than wasting your time doing so. There's never been a shortage people that want to believe such nonsense, such as the world is flat, or the US didn't actually go to the moon, or whatever fancies them. Fortunately, most people have more common sense and don't believe totally unproved and undocumented conspiracies theories like the Q Movement. Anyone who believes in speculation and impossible to prove or unsubstantiated theories is the one being deluded.
