      Also, did you know that Clinton has Parkinson's, Epilepsy, Dementia AND is handled by her hypnotist? Welcome to the conspiracy election.

      Conspiracy theories are an ancient problem. They're our narrative machine going awry, fueled by mistrust, manipulated by the powerful.

          Conspiracy theories have lately been outbursts of racism—Obama "birthers" or even misogyny. But that's not their only form.

          Sometimes, they've been like a cancer on the urge to challenge power—impulse gone awry. They are also often manipulated by the powerful.

          term "conspiracy theory" should be done away with, bc it doesn't really do any valuable descriptive work/end http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/?page_id=30884
