Alan: I don't much care if EVERY conspiracy theory is proven true.
But I do care - very much - that conspiratorial thinking routinely works to the advantage of decerebrate conservatives and downright anti-democratic fascists like Trump.
Not to mention the erosion of good epistemology and encouragement of the illusory view that "my opinion is just as good as your truth."

Conspiracists work to Trump's advantage by "surrendering" to shoddy epistemology, seduced by the "confirmation bias" that aligns them with Trump's own surrender to conspiratorial falsehood - birtherism being just one nauseating exhibit.
Devious Donald - who launched his presidential campaign on the cornerstone of Birtherism - is a deceitful solipsist who, in the blinding passion of any given moment, may even believe he's telling the truth.
If you spend a disproportionate amount of time and energy studying and pondering conspiracy theories, it is an "inconvenient truth" (at least for putatively left-leaning conspiracists) that you support Trump at bedrock.
Indeed, you support the entire, in-your-face fascist agenda that Trump represents... and Joe Biden does not represent even if you have falsely persuaded yourself that there's no difference between the two.
Joe may be many things but he is not an "in your face" card-carrying plutocratic fascist.
In fact, as Biden's campaign develops he is moving ever closer to Bernie Sanders' platform. Ironically, a disproportionate number of Bernie's most ardent supporters are now dead-set against Joe Biden even though there is likelihood that his presidency will embody Bernie's ideals just as FDR lifted many of his ideas from Presbyterian minister and card-carrying socialist Norman Thomas. https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/75-years-ago-fdr-read-results-right-and-took-left-turn/
