I will add that it is certainly easier to believe in conspiracy theories that fit your political agenda than those that don't.
The whole "One generation's conspiracy theory is another's obvious fact" only goes so far. There are 100 different theories about the Kennedy assassination and I do not consider myself to be any sort of expert on it whatsoever, but they range from the mob to LBJ being the masterminds behind it all.
I have those I certainly believe - one being that my father in law is really in the CIA, but that's another story.
