Ha! All my life my kids and others have called me a conspiracy theorist. I’m not nutty but I am rational. I usually put things into the “possibly true” category. So many times I have had to point out to them that the theories have proven true. my sons have both accepted that and are very conservative.
With the possible exception of my oldest daughter. She’s always been a conspiracy theorist and some of her theories have proven true. And she’s a scientist! Her and I bicker on climate change. But she has worked for the government and also worked for private business in environmental issues and saw the fallacy of government policies. Her generation didn’t grow up knowing communism and she is too hard headed to admit everything she learned in university was wrong.
