I think part of it is the religious tropes within right-wing conspiracy theories. Like cults, they have in groups and out groups, unique language and terminology, charismatic leaders, etc. So it’s more of the framing than the beliefs themselves.

For instance, here we believe that there are government conspiracies carried out by agencies like the FBI or the CIA. We don’t need the extra trappings because our beliefs are based more on facts and reports released from such shady groups.

It’s funny how much the media is trying to portray the reasonable belief that Epstein didn’t kill himself as a conspiracy like chemtrails or q anon.
