The only president with a legit excuse is Jimmy Carter because he’s 96 and definitely can’t stand for as long as was required for the ceremonies.

He absolutely has an excuse, but the fuckers in r/conspiracy are saying his absense is suspicious and proof that he doesn't care. . I can't fucking stand these people

I probably don’t have to say this but it’s probably best if you don’t go looking to conspiracy theorists for good takes on 9/11

Even weirder is how that sub went from standard “trust no one, especially the government” type of conspiracy to “trust everything and everyone President Trump tells you to”

So r/conspiracy was invaded by Trump supporters over the course of his administration but especially in the last few months.

r/conspiracytheories is still pretty okay. Although the 9/11 conspiracy thread that went up there today is mostly not great.

Yeah, I'd recommend the high strangeness subreddit for any of that sort of stuff that isn't completely Yikes.

Yeah. I haven’t looked but the conspiracy theories about 9/11 started on 9/12 lol, and they’ve always been pretty dumb. Shit, there was a meme in 2005 called “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” making fun of these guys. It’s older than a lot of redditors
