This sub has become crap

There seems to be more poorly thought out right wing ideology comments and posts on this sub over the past year. I have been following r/conspiracy for a bit more then a year. I never commented or posted before because for the most part the posts and comments were rich with details and supporting arguments and information. And more posts in the past didn't revolve around just jumping to conclusions based on basic government incompetence.

Lately, there's a lot of "conspiracy" posts that are intellectually lazy, which amount to just "I don't know how this works" therefore "deep state" and "the deep state is anti-Trump". If you point out the weakness of the arguments the OP has a lack knowledge on how a process works, it results in a dog pile of comments labelling you as just being anti-Trump.

It may be just because of the COVID situation and because not as many people who are well versed on the basic processes within medicine and health care.

Last few days has been an endless parade of claiming conspiracy about the CDC Covid death numbers with posters and commenters not having a basic understanding of how a cause of death is determined and recorded on a death certificate. And that will be the whole thing that holds the OPs conspiracy together. If the integrity of the argument is challenged on the basic lack of understanding it immediately turns into a tirade of accusation of being anti-Trump and an avalanche of right-wing insults for classic left wing tropes.
