Huh?
I think the concentration of crazy is too high in this post ...
Conspiracy theories are appealing because conspiracies happen every day; after all, consider that organized crime is just a group of co-conspirators, and many small activist/lobby groups purposefully mislead people to push their own agenda. Even 9/11 is (by definition) a conspiracy being that terrorists conspired to hijack planes to use them as weapons. With that said, the more people involved in a conspiracy the less likely it is to become successful because the more likely it is for someone to talk. Grand conspiracy theories involving secret societies and governmental organizations are strictly fiction, because it would be (nearly) impossible to keep those actions secret for any period of time.
Now, this doesn't mean that the Republicans or Democrats are working in the best interests of citizens or the country as a whole; or that the claim that Republicans and Democrats are (essentially) the same is not true. I (personally) would agree with those statements, but I think the more logical explanation is that lobbyists and wealthy supporters of both parties have become so influential that their interests are the only ones being considered.
