Was Trump‘s victory, in part, the product of a growing receptivity to conspiratorial worldviews among Americans?

The crazy conspiracy theories that have duped many people, particularly over the last decade or so, are no less crazy than the blatant lies western governments have told to their citizens for many decades anyway. Conspiracy theories are just the bonkers flip side to the mainstream narrative of lies, manipulation and subterfuge peddled by western governments since the end of WW2. At this point, I find the ludicrous conspiracy theories no more offensive or insane than anything the previous government tells me every night on the news. The USA has simply decided to elect the conspiracy lunatics instead of the lying manipulators.
