According to Hofstadter, the paranoid style is characterized by quote, "heated exaggeration, suspiciousness and conspiratorial fantasy" as well as "feelings of persecution." It's "overheated, oversuspicious, overaggressive, grandiose, and apocalyptic in expression." Sound like anyone you know? But I think Conspiracism is more than just a rhetorical style.
