Do you remember what we used to call all the behavior that Snowden confirmed was true, before he confirmed it? The Snowden revelations are a hell of a lot more shocking to my conscious than "Pizza Gate". It's absolutely a matter of degree and perspective. When conspiracy theories about politicians are illegal, then any critical public discourse about politicians is equally illegal. It seems to me only willful ignorance in search of political gain could explain an alternate position.
