Just because you didn't see the alien Russian pulling 45's strings (or were they chains?) . . .

No, everyone saw that, except those who didn't want to see.
I will start to look there for them. I thought that as long as one hit two sticks together they would be scared away.

Yet those not inclined to conspiracy can see right wing hate on facebook and twitter for months on end and still not be convinced we're under a seditious coup attack.

If it's a coup it is the most ill-planned and poorly executed coup in human history. It is bothersome to be sure, but our nation has faced worse.
I think the problem is one of A) not wanting to believe that people would actually go so far as to assault the Capitol building; and B) that when 15 or 20 different groups are talking about the same thing, it doesn't really look like a conspiracy. Conspiracies are supposed to be secret.
In fact it wasn't a conspiracy, on reflection. There were conspiracies to commit criminal acts, to be sure, such as smuggling firearms over state lines; but the thing as a whole was an open insurrection.
