Don't all court cases start as a "conspiracy" till proven differently? Guess I'm trying to say everything starts as a theory till proven true.

A whole 'lotta conspiracy belief began when Donny got elected. Actually it got started when Obama was in office. I.E.: Pizzagate. The Repukes have only been too happy to tap into it.

I see your point, but all theories are not created equal. A prosecutor's theory of a crime must be carefully constructed to serve a prosecutor's purposes, that is, to account for all known facts and to point the way to looking for further evidence leading to either a prosecution or a dropped case. A conspiracy theory need have no great correspondence to facts, but must provide a satisfying/entertaining myth for the believer, and thus, with continued elaboration, continued loyalty and support from them for the creators.

For some reality is hard to fathom so believing in fairy tails distractions allow then to survive.
The less thinking the better approach.
