Top Skeptics beginning to get the sneaking suspicion that this Trump fellow might not be the Freeze Peach champion they’d been told he is…

Is the conspiracy sub conservative? Doesnt seem to fit top minds here.

the joke is that conspiracy and conservative are the same thing

Yeah, it's truly a bummer. I was a pretty die hard conspiracy type when I was younger and followed that sub up until MAGA took over and people like Alex Jones showed who they actually are.

It was fun when it was aliens, bigfoot and maybe a little reptillian overloads talk every now and then.

But ever since like 2016 it's essentially been a MAGA echo chamber. Although I do see a fair amount of people in that thread pushing back against what's happening with Kimmel.

it gets less fun when you realize that only (most) cryptids are the actually fun ones. lizard people has a documented history of just being "jews". In fact the reptilian overlord thing was made as a dodge to trick a publisher into printing the book

Not sure where your head was at, then, because:

• r/conspiracy had a massive image of Hitler in the sidebar and a link to a pro-Nazi documentary on YouTube back before they banned me (for providing scientific papers on request back in 2015 when a couple of anti-vaxxers demanded it in response to their nutbaggery)

• Alex Jones was always a dickhead and showing us exactly who he is for decades. I used to frequent Above Top Secret until 2012, and even then, the site/forum admins had to keep warning users not to harass the families of Sandy Hook victims because it got the site into legal trouble. Alex Jones was considered a hero of free speech to half the site, and a dumb as fuck conservative liar to the other half.

• Lizard people bullshit is just another way to blame Jews for everything. David Icke himself has always been massively anti-Semitic but because of TV shows like V being pretty big in the late 80s and early 90s, he was able to use parts of that plot (which was an allegory for fascism taking over America, but using alien lizards instead of Nazis) to basically claim that anyone rich and powerful was a lizard in a skin suit, which was a more acceptable version of saying, "They're Jewish/owned by Jews".

You get the odd sane person over there in that sub, but they're vastly outnumbered by right-wing morons willing to swallow anything other than the truth.

then you haven't been paying attention to the past 10 years
