Did Trump drain the fun out of Conspiracy theorists.
As a European centrist, with left centre social views and right centre economic views, I'm not really into conspiracy stuff. But some of it does amuse me. The weaponised use of outrageous and down right dumb conspiracy theories enabled by Trump and Trumpers seems to have drained the fun out of good old fashioned, bible bashing, G5 hating, UFO hunting, right wing, tin foil hat wearing loons. From Q to Stop the steal and the reinstatement rubbish? All the fun has gone.
Thoughts?

Trump was a funny American character in everyday culture - until he got into politics and somehow won the electoral college (that's all I will acknowledge he won.) Then the far right movements actually got empowered and did scary stuff, and terms like 'alternative facts' actually became part of everyday conversation.
Watching the far right create an alternative reality and having it broadcast propaganda style by Fox News was unnerving to watch, from up here. It's part of why I can't enjoy watching VEEP anymore - hell, the creator of the show left it because he said he couldn't come up with something more comical and scary than what he saw in real life US politics.

The alt right have been around for a long time, however. I remember tucker Carlson saying it’s wrong , sinful and blasphemous to suggest imply or help others come to conclusion that Americans killed 3000 of their own people.
Now, he’s talking about 911 there, but here’s the fact. Dick Cheney ordered them to stand down when a ****ing plane was about to crash into the building.

Your reasoning that "Trump drained all the Fun out of Conspiracy Theories" is due to the unequivacable facts, evidence that Trump NOT ONLY utterly ELIMINATED your so called "Conspiracy Theories", which almost all have now been EXPOSED + PROVEN to be TRUE; but also now the Liberal Left & MSM's go to, trite, typical response of "Conspiwacy Thewey, Conspiwacy Thewey"!
In the History of Wins, Losses, Battles, Defeats......I have NEVER seen such a colossal, blatantly obvious, embarasing and/or Epic LOSS, FAILURE, DEFEAT as the Liberal, Democrats brought down upon themselves & displayed for the world to see!
Trump did an interview on Infowars, it was humble.
There are still conspiracy theories that I believe are worth discussing, such as the Kennedy murders, but stupid shit like the moon landing being fake is just laughable lol 😆

That's not a conspiracy theory, not when there isn't a President that hasn't spoken about the subject
He doesn't really deny anything though, he admits to being briefed about something he clearly couldn't talk about. This is Obama, not some run of mill president.
