Conspiracy theories aren’t “conservative”.

Edit:

Love getting downvotes when posting indisputable facts.

These aren’t the same, and politicizing crazy shit gives cover to the people who post it.

Call them conspiracies, not “conservative Facebook posts”

Everyone realizes that.

What they might not realize is that if you call crazy shit like this “conservative” you are legitimizing it.

It’s a conspiracy theory. Full stop.

We all know this.

But there’s nothing “conservative” about this.

They are conspiracies. If you treat them as a political viewpoint you legitimize them.
