Exactly right. They are on both sides of the political spectrum and they aren t just uneducated dolts in the backwoods or illiterate immigrants or poorly educated urban citizens... many conspiracy theorists turn out to be are extremely well educated and very prominent and powerful people.

Those conspiracy theories started at the top with Hillary and Obama, and came to permeate much of the left-leaning US mainstream media and the bulk of the D party, even though it was total nonsense. ....
