I wonder how many conspiracy theories started with a practical joke that got way out of hand.

And someone is dying of laughter as people attribute it to aliens, god, elites, illuminati , lizard people or immigrants.

I think many of them got started with a specific purpose to distort politics. Here's a list of a bunch of recent conspiracy theories; all designed to benefit conservatives.

Birthers
Death panels
Jade Helm conspiracy
FEMA camps conspiracy
Benghazi
Ebola (that Obama was bringing it to the US)
Man made climate change deniers
Gun confiscation
Martial law
Hillary will be indicted
Trickle down economics (it only helps the rich)
Obama founded ISIS (it came about during the Bush administration)
Pizzagate
Sharia law (not one case on Sharia law, we also don't use the 10 commandments )
Sweden's rape crisis
In person voter fraud
Hillary sold uranium (URANIUM WAS NOT SOLD TO RUSSIA)
Seth Rich conspiracy theory
North Korea is disarming
Russia didn't interfere with the US election
Russia didn't support Trump (conspiracy to falsely accuse Trump)

@ElwoodBlues Don't forget that all birds are CIA drones...

Pizzagate is actually a deflection: those things are happening, perpetrated by elites (i.e. billionaires), but not in a pizzeria (average people go to pizzerias after all) in the basements of the clubhouses of expensive highly exclusive country clubs...
