They refuse to believe that things are the way they are. These people are usually very anxious, nervous, and don't trust anybody.
For relatively rare individuals, an obsessive compulsion to believe, prove or re-tell a conspiracy theory may indicate one or more of several well-understood psychological conditions, and other hypothetical ones: paranoia, denial, schizophrenia, mean world syndrome.
Good luck.

Just like magic. In magic you see things that defy your believes and physics, natural laws... things that don't add up. You see it and can't make sense which gives you that illusion of magic.
There are things that don't add up in our world. Things that just defy common beliefs, but make sense if you can some how find a way to explain it, conspiracy theories.
But parts of most conspiracy theories are true though. Doesn't mean entire theory is.

because people want someone to blame, if they want to blame a bunch of nut jobs sitting at a long table with dark shades and a dimmed light that control everything from the price of birth control to which countries get a nuclear bomb to stir things up, then they will, and because they have the mental capacity to blame other people, they will
