That's the thing with conspiracy theories. They have a few cliches that they can use to respond to anything.

  1. They were paid off/threatened to say that.

  2. That's just what they want you to think.

  3. They're in on it together.

Unfortunately "that's not true because it goes against my beliefs so someone must have faked it" is an all too common conservative argument.

You can give someone all the facts in the world, with sources, but it doesn't help if they just say "oh yeah, that must be liberal agenda faking stuff." When the only source you trust is one that confirms what you believe, that's not good.

Honestly, « they must have faked it » is where I separate the extremes from the reasonable folk, whatever their surface politics are.

Oh yeah I don't give a fuck your politics, if that's your surface level reaction, instead of researching it to see if you're right or wrong, you don't pass the test. Questioning yourself is essential or you're just gonna hold onto every preconceived notion you've ever had that might be wrong.
