Because their tribal belief system NEEDS to have an enemy. In the absence of a REAL enemy they make one up. They are 1000 years behind our progressive civilization. It’s in their DNA, they can’t help themselves. Best we can do is contain them and move on and hope each of their successive descendants breed out the tribalism DNA.

Nah, that is much too complicated.
Republicans, like Tea Party, always proffered these conspiracies.
With Fox speeding further extreme right, and the election of Trump, the conspiracy theorist extreme...they are everywhere.
Fox proffers one conspiracy after another, and sometimes it seems like Hannity cannot exist without some theory.
Then, add a President, a guy who thrust the birther story for five years, and in his own words, loves Alex Jones whose career is dependent on these and this is what you get.
Republicans used to be....morals, standards, cut spending, eliminate deficit.......that seems to be tabu.
The GOP is splintered and who knows where it goes.
Maybe our First Lady can expand her anti bullying and get her husband to buy in....maybe Fox begins to report news (used to be that fair and balanced) instead of adding fuel to these things, but in the meantime, both parties move further away from the middle, even away from being reasonable.
It is tiring, while the guys and gals that really want to help the country are maligned and personally attacked, and our government becomes less transparent (actually hidden), we spend each day in America wondering why we suffer so much just listening to our "leaders".
