Is it possible it’s just another manifestation of tribalism rather than an actual belief in the proposed conspiracies? I’ve just finished Timothy Snyder’s road to unfreedom. I can see myself that i’m suffering a bit of a bias in my answer that i attribute to that book. If it’s true what he suggests in the book, then disarray and chaos would be the goal here rather than the tribe having a coherent view of the risks and a measured response.
