It's not really a conspiracy, I don't suppose. Let's just call it an extremely secretive agenda.
The Koch Brothers learned a good lesson from their father. They saw that he had been marginalized in this right-wing extremist viewpoints by associating himself too closely with the John Birch Society, which was considered a nutcase cult by many in our society.
So they decided go "mainstream". As such, they have contributed hundreds of millions of dollars over the past three to four decades to building up "legitimate" organizations it order to promote their libertarian agenda.
The CATO Institute is a prime example. Instead of hiring loudmouth nutcases, they filled the Institute with "professorial" types who had advanced college degrees and could thus be seen as advancing solid intellect-based ideas.
A more "hands-on" organization is the "Americans for Prosperity" bunch which actively promotes the "no tax for millionaires" agenda without shame.
The American Enterprise Institute. ALEC. Working with STATE legislatures to enact the right-wing extremist agenda
They are not satisfied with just dominating the legislative branch of government. They also contribute quite readily to the jucidial-activistv"Federalist Society" to the point that FS members are now enacting a steady series of judicial legislation from the Supreme Court.
The decades-long "mainstream" propaganda machine has been very effective in entering into the consciousness of a very large numbers of the American populace. Welcome to the Koch Brothers paradise. Get used to it..
