    In the case of Eric Adams, there actually WAS a conspiracy. Only it was (somehow) completely legal and to HIS benefit.

    When the Democratic primaries for mayor started, nobody wanted Eric Adams.

    It took a giant and wholly fraudulent “crime is out of control and only a cop can save us” campaign from all major NY media and paid ads by groups aligned with the right wing of the Democratic party as well as the GOP to scare people into voting for him.

    People wanted the policies of Cynthia Nixon but was scared into voting for Adams to save them from an imaginary crime crisis manufactured from unsupported anecdotes and manipulated data from cops.
