You can never win with conspiracists. The lack of evidence supporting their beliefs is chalked up to the conspiracy erasing it. The evidence contradicting their beliefs is either deemed inconclusive or falsified by the conspiracy. And any person or party implicated in the narrative they refuse to accept is automatically deemed to be part of the conspiracy. To wit:
Birthers: “There’s a conspiracy surrounding Obama’s birth, so we need to see contemporary evidence of a Hawaiian birth.”
Microfiche researcher: “I found two 1961 birth announcements.”
Birthers: “Holy crap! Someone’s put fake birth announcements in the microfiche! We can’t accept anything less than the Hawaiian government officially confirming that he was born there.”
Hawaii: “Obama was born here.”
Birthers: “Holy crap! Hawaii’s in on the conspiracy too!”

I took two birth announcements (from when I was born) to the DMV.
My mom was with me and sworn to them, where and when I was born and what time.
It DIDN’T work - they wouldn’t issue me a drivers license.
Do YOU think the DMV has a conspiracy against me?
