My favorite is the Democrats stealing the election from Trump with the help of alleged corrupt voting machines. Democrats were alleged to be allowed to manipulate the software into changing votes for Trump into votes for Biden in certain key states.
But let's explore that a little bit. Assume the manipulation was accurate and you are able to accomplish that in many states. Why would you focus on only the race for President? If you really wanted power, you would have allegedly switched votes in enough congressional races and senate races to have given your party of choice complete control of congress including a 60+ vote majority in the Senate.

arents are constantly thinking everything is a conspiracy with the latest being the Maui fire.
“Isn’t it odd all the fires started at the same time?!”
“I just want to know the real truth!”
There’s being skeptical and then there’s being irrational. It’s getting hard to hold any meaningful conversation since everything ends up deteriorating to these comments. I guess some people get weird as they get older and interact with society less.
Or you could just have an adult conversation with them and help them reason through the logic they are promoting? Maybe point out some of the flaws in their logic? Nahhhh..... just be a shite head and call your parents weird.

My favorite is dumbasses thinking all the swing states just decided to stop independently at the same time (including because of a fake water main break in Atlanta), kept anybody from seeing what they were doing, and magically produced just enough votes for biden in a couple or 3 hours.
What idiot thinks that was on the level?

y 84 year old Dad lives with us. He worked in the construction industry his whole career and spends a lot of time reading articles on the internet and watching youtube videos related to building codes. I know, that is indicative of some serious mental issues LOL but its what he did for a living and is still interested in. At least a couple of days a week when I get home he is furious about something he has seen that wasn't the way it was when he was working...for instance I said something to my wife about a piece of property we were looking at and I wasn't sure if we could put a septic tank in the front set back. He hits me the next day with "You can put a septic tank in the front yard...I watched a youtube video about it". I ask him what county and he says "Georgia" and I mention that it would up to the authority having jurisdiction, in this case the county the property is located in, and he says "its legal in Georgia...I saw it on Youtube" and of course, in a momentary lack of consciousness on my part I ask "what county" and he GOES off saying it didn't matter the state said it was OK and he saw it on YouTube. Got so mad he was shaking and had to go to bed early LOL. Old folks and the internet are a BAD combination.
I could very well be wrong but I think it is the county that issues permits after they determine they comply with the STATES regulations.

Does seem weird they would do all that if they could just swap the votes remotely from Germany as the conspiracy theorists claimed.

He didn't post his proof. I can claim im right about a bunch of things because I believe them to be true, it doesn't mean that's proof.
Hell I can post that humans can cause climate change and link 100 relevant studies that agree with it and it still wouldn't be proof.

None of you making fun of folks in here have yet to actually address the examples posters have provided.
Why?
I mean surely you don't think the Steele Dossier and everything that came from it was on the level, just to give one example.

Dude, that’s not how the election was stolen.

To me conspiracy theories and situations like that are true in a sense. What I mean is usually something random or unpredictable happens, then the government tries to cover it up or cover up how their ineptitude led to the circumstances.

Whats the conspiracy here? That policians are shady? That the FBI is shady? Seems like that's not really a conspiracy as much as a fact.
A conspiracy is more like the vegas shooting where they pin the whole thing on a random guy that could never have executed such a feat

If they were silenced how were they on social media. Opps, I did it again, I engaged.
Accounts were banned, videos removed, articles banned, but eventually facts came out. Are you seriously trying to say people weren’t silenced when trying to discuss COVID, COVID vaccine efficacy, Russia-gate, Biden’s Laptop, and now Biden’s corruption?

Fair point. I did ask what their views were for the cause of the fire, and they only stated they “wanted to know the truth”. Knowing them, that means they already think there was a super complicated government plan to start the fire. These conversations quickly degrade into this dynamic and there’s no convincing them otherwise.

They want to know the truth. Oh the horror.

You can't become a "conspiracy theorist" by watching cable news.
Incidentally, the term conspiracy theorist was coined by the CIA to cover their tracks and humiliate anyone who questioned their bullshite.
