Nah you have to be smart enough not to buy the "official" narrative
I disagree. You don't have to be smart to be a conspiracy theorist. You have to be smart to be a clever or accurate conspiracy theorist.
You can be a conspiracy theorist really easily if you simply don't care about reality, and just want to present yourself as correct; which is basically just leftism in a nutshell.
Besides, saying it was staged isn't exactly the official narrative, but it also doesn't stray from it far. The official narrative is Orange Man Bad and, almost as importantly, Orange Man Certainly Can't Be Good.
If your belief is that Trump is Bad and must be Bad, you just stick to that, and make something up to explain how he is Bad. That doesn't take smarts. "Trump faked it" isn't straying from the core message.
Nah you have to be smart enough not to buy the "official" narrative that this was a lone gunman, but dumb enough to buy the establishments bullshit.
It's the bell curve meme.
