Why are conservatives so easily preyed upon by conspiracy theories?

What qualified Obama to be President?

You've had it explained to you hundreds of times since 2008.

Obama: Constitutional lawyer. Harvard Law Revue. US Senator. Natural, innate intelligence and temperament for the job.

Trump: Silver spoon baby who grew up in privilege and wealth totally out of touch with common people. Attended private schools where father's money played a bigger role in academic success than actual academic ability. Given $2 million dollars by his father to get started in business. Only specialty is setting up real estate deals. Starred in cheesy reality TV show where he "hired" and "fired" people like Gary Busey and Meatloaf.

You tell me which one was more qualified and fit for office.

You forgot that he actually won the popular vote, which represents the true will of the people.

Conservatives have a very weak defense for conspiracy theories. Are they just more gullible than liberals or non-conservatives?

Some of them might be half-witted subhumans, but I do not think that completely explains how preposterous conspiracy theories takes such root in the greater wingnutosphere.

I mean, how is it possible for large numbers of cons to believe Hillary Clinton murdered Vince Foster, that a vast international conspiracy of climate scientists are faking data to perpetrate a global warming hoax, or that Obama is a Kenyan-Marxist-Muslim who was not born in America?

My theory is that most of them don't believe any of this shit. They just cling to them like grim death for completely hyperpartisan reasons.

But that is a whole other tangential issue. I personally don't see how you can say shit you don't actually believe. Especially on obscure internet forums to people you will never actually meet. Its basically taking the position of not telling the truth. My philosophy: what is the point of lying on the interwebs?

True, but I was approaching the question from the perspective of him as a candidate and his qualifications prior to the election and him taking office.

I also failed to point out Trump's obvious lack of temperament for the office.

He had zero 'qualifications' to run the largest country/budget in the world. ZERO executive experience - he'd never been in charge of a lemonade stand. And temperament? He was hateful and the most divisive President in history, according to Gallup, anyway. He was elected because he is black.

The American people paid dearly for that little failed social experiment. Bein' black isn't a qualification for President.

The country improves under Trump, GDP, jobs, stock market, the SPINE and will to stand for America.

I gotta hand it to you.

You really do know how to shovel up the bullshit and pile it high.

Jesus wept! As you know, his only disqualification was that he was only half 'white'. Compared with your normal presidents he was enormously qualified - that's why you racists sabotaged almost all he did so obsessively. And as for bloody FART!

What were his qualifications?

There were none. He was the least qualified President in American history. He was elected for bein' black. Period.

their whole party platform is based on lies


they are defined by being gullible to lies

Name a lie and present the objective evidence that proves your accusations to be true. Its not rocket science...but its something the leftist never does, prove their accusation. Its based upon Alinsky's rules for radicals. You first accuse and then attack based upon the false accusation and when confronted with the fact you offer no proof....you deflect first by launching a series of personal ad hominem attacks..when those being attacked prove that you are lying...you run like hell to start another lie.

I go by one simple rule that proves correct 99% of the time....THE SMELLER IS THE FELLER....i.e., the one accusing another of lying void of evidence is usually the one doing the lying.

Its like the party (democrat) that is the father of Jim Crow, Slavery, the KKK, anti-civil rights, segregation, anti-womens rights..etc., attempting to define THE OTHER party as the racists and bigots. Its funnier than hell to anyone that is the least bit educated. They assume that since they have been bought off with tax payer monies....history is naturally revised as well.

Conclusion: You have to be one stupid dumb assed individual to be a democrat today.

And what exactly are the qualifications? Being able to breathe while 'white' would seem to cover your past pretty well.

Nice try at diversion, coward. Doesn't work with me, NL.

It wasn't a diversion, it was an honest question. I don't believe Trump had the discipline to get into a serious college without the money angle. Remember, Trump says he stopped developing mentally at 7.
