That one New York times article and the deletion of the first subreddit is what killed the growth and momentum of this investigation. It's been two years since Besta Pizza. Two years since Alefantis and the Instagram findings. And two years since they buried everything.
If you bring pizzagate up to a lot of people, the first thing they think about is the bullshit they heard in that article, and whatever they heard about the faux shooter.
"Isn't that the thing where people believe Hillary Clinton was running a child sex organization out of the basement of a pizza parlor."
Or
"Are you one of those Pizzagate crazies that shot up that poor man's pizza place because of some dumb conspiracy theory?"
Look up pizzagate. First things you get are the "Pizzagate Conspiracy Theory" article on Wikipedia, the New York times article, some Snopes bullshit, some John Oliver and Colbert bullshit, and a bunch of other stuff to control the situation. It's fucked, but it worked because here we are two years later and nothing has changed. In fact I think we're in a terrible position right now.

Not sure where you're getting that we're in a terrible position.
The dismissal gives us free rein. You don't see them bothered by only screaming, "RUSSIAN COLLUSION!" and "RACIST NAZI!"
That's what they're down to. Deiifying Mueller and Comey.. Plus there's all that criminality they have to contain. Plus plus the income lost from not being able to ship around that "art" in cardboard boxes and sex traffic at will.
I like our position better.
