These people think the average person requires absolutes and can't comprehend the idea of conflicting reports/ideas. They really have swallowed … Koolade? Whatever it is that has led them to the conclusion that the average person is so far beneath them in cranial capacity that a house cat qualifies as an intellectual rival.
They think the average person requires absolutes and can be convinced to look no further if a minor claim or detail floating around is proven wrong. Thus, they attempt to locate or generate a falsifiable claim within the conspiracy discussion and associate it as being a core absolute.
This may work for UFOs… Kind of. Most people believe there are some aliens up there, or at least entertain the possibility they are and that our governments know far more than they admit… But this is not a discussion that leads to practical action. So there are aliens… Neat. Doesn't change how you and I live our lives unless they come down here and make themselves known.
So… They believe they can similarly defang this movement because their UFO disinfo targeted a movement that had no fangs to begin with. They are about to be absolutely shocked when the average person is very willing to entertain the idea they have been lied to and that they are not very easy to convince to look the other way about sex trafficking.
