Wasn't there a dumb conspiracy theory doing the rounds a few years back that a dumb playboy called Donald Trump would actually win the Presidential election?
That was fun for a time, but eventually sanity won out in the end when good citizens actually went to the polls.
But that's why conspiracy theories, especially baseless, deranged ones, can actually be dangerous. People actually believe in them. People actually thought Trump would glide down an elevator just coz they saw it on Simpsons - Kek.
