> “Now that Trump is president, the popular conspiracy theories come from Democrats and focus on Trump and Russia,” Honest question: are there really all that many conspiracy theory about Trump and Russia? From what I've read of first-hand sources, there's a whole lot of evidence in the public record that demonstrates repeated exchanges between high-level Russian officials and the Trump administration before and after the election. That's not even getting into the impeachment scandal which had numerous accounts and record indicating that Trump did exactly what he was accused of. I think that's much, much different in scope than something like Anti-vaxxers or "COVID-19 is Bill Gates' attempt at population control". In the first case, people are extrapolating based on concrete evidence, and in the latter, people are literally making shit up. I think 9/11 Truthers are a better comparison.
