Thanks for the trollish Spawn of Satan response.
The other thing that I notice about those who are prone to conspiracy theories is that they are unrelenting in their demonization of other people. If anyone disagrees with them, then that person is assumed to be a part of the imagined conspiracy. He is “evil.” He is demonized.
Aside from it being just plain counterproductive (and I would frankly say evil) to demonize fellow conservatives, it’s really pretty arrogant. The conspiracy theorist presumes to know the inner motives of a person he has never met and has no acquaintance with. He presumes that he, in his great wisdom, can accurately identify that person’s motives as being false. Nothing the person himself says matters. He is presumed guilty until proven innocent, and there is no proof that is ever good enough for the conspiracy theorist. It is all met with, “Yes, but...”
In this instance, the person demonized by the conspiracy theorist did little more than point out the truth. The truth is undeniable. The conspiracy theorist does not even contest it. And yet the person pointing out the truth is somehow a “troll,” evil, the “spawn of Satan”... for having pointed out the undeniable truth.
Bizarre. But that’s the world of a conspiracy theorist.
