I am a conservative but some of the ridiculous conspiracy theories posted on this site and social media are just cringeworthy. They really paint us in a bad light. I know people will respond with "Russian collusion" but that was so
widely reported by the MSM you can kind of see how liberals who hate Trump would believe it.
You find what you seek...makes me question why you seek this? You have to turn a blind eye to the massive amount of conspiracies/theories perpetrated by the lefties, as others have noted, to make this observation about conservatives.

I don't think it's exclusive to conservatives. I have some lib co-workers who believe basically every conspiracy there is.

Why are concern trolls so obvious?

Jussie and Bubba can't believe how gullible the right is in believing in CoNsPiRaCiEs.

Which conspiracy theory in particular are you talking about?
For example, the FBI being corrupt?

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that two or more people aren't working in concert against your interests.

COuld you please elaborate on which conspiracy theories have not come to fact?

OBAMAGATE
Spying on your political opponents based off of known false dossier.

Start with a list of said conspiracies that conservatives believe in please.
When your done, let’s then focus on the list for “progressives”.
At least frame the discussion siting examples...

The answer is because our main stream media is a fricking joke. Conspiracy theorists get credibility because the media gives current Republicans no where to go to get any information that presents information factually. This is why the “fake news” (as the MSM branded it) took off in the first place.
It’s hard to mock the conspiracy theories when our own media push leftists theories non stop, no matter how fake/absurd

Conspiracy theories are the new facts. In the past, many were wacko, but most are being proven true now.
Also, most are not even conspiracy theories. That is just a strategy to cast doubt on a true story.

Why are nearly all flat Earthers, Democrat voters?

A lot of right wing things are SAID to be conspiracies, like Soros and Epstein. But those often turn out to be true.

Conspiracy theories aren’t a left/right thing. Individual theories may sometimes fall more on one side or the other, but there are tons of theorists on both sides.
Epstein didn’t kill himself: largely bipartisan. Whom people blame for killing Epstein may be partisan, but the belief isn’t.
Bush did 9/11: heavy left wing bend here, though plenty of right wingers have similar beliefs
Pizzagate: mostly a right wing theory
Russia hacked the 2016 election: this is an almost exclusively left wing theory
Second shooter at the Kennedy Assassination: bipartisan
Vaccines cause autism: surprisingly enough, this is a liberal white women theory
Hillary Clinton Death Count: right wing theory
CIA/FBI controls celebrities, terrorists, and assassins through mind control: right wing
NASA faked the moon landings: I honestly don’t know who these people are
Flat earth: bipartisan. It’s a lot of poor blacks and ultra religious whites
Climate change alarmism (that the earth will be unlivable inside 12 years if we don’t act drastically): left wing
Climate Gate (that governments and universities are falsifying climate data to make models that push a false climate change narrative): right wing
Obama’s fake birth certificate: right wing (though started by the Hillary campaign)
