    It's nice to see the qualifier "false" conspiracy theories. Because it used to be that all conspiracy theories where assumed false, but that has all shifted in the last few years. It's no longer fringe. Not to say that all conspiracies are true, they aren't, but conspiracy theorist can no longer be used as a slur like it used to.

    Everyone agrees that pedophiles are everywhere in government and power. If you hate Donald Trump you believe that he's a part of conspiracies. If you like Donald Trump you believe there's conspiracies against him.

    It doesn't help that the conspiracies theories about covid that it was made in a lab and all that were eventually admitted to be fact after years of censorship. Conspiracy theories about government surveillance and different things have more and more proven to be true... It's harder and harder to get people to accept a narrative.
