I have psychology question concerning conspiracy theorists?

No matter how much evidence to the contrary you give them they still believe. They choose to ignore facts or twist them to fit their own ideas, even to the point of including those presenting the evidence as being part of the conspiracy.

So is this effectively a psychological disorder?

    Would you believe me if I told you I've seen the future before it happened. I doubt you believe but it happened. However I can't prove and you won't believe because everybody knows the "fact" that future is unpredictable. Plus many of the most popular conspiracy teories aim to deceive people giving them half of the truth

    i'm a good distance from being a Republican, yet i visit step up of their protection. the folk who're making those claims are the noisy minority. in simple terms because it somewhat is unfair to lump all liberals in with people who think of 9/11 replaced right into a central authority conspiracy, it somewhat is unfair to tar all conservatives with the comb of questioning Obama is a Kenyan-born Muslim pal to terrorists, communists, crooks and radicals.
