It really amped up the conspiracy theory parade, especially when Clinton was in office. When Obama became POTUS, it was reinforced by pure, unbridled racism that had seethed sort of under cover since forever.

And the politicians and their big donors on the right probably helped fund the movement because they were still pissed about Nixon being shown the door.
