A conspiracy theory is anything opposing a state run narrative, no matter how ridiculous the narrative is.

Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.
--John Adams
And how convenient for your narrative that Oswald was killed before he could stand trial and defend himself from such accusations, by a man who basically admitted that there was a conspiracy and, who, according to FBI records, demonstrated foreknowledge of the assassination of JFK:
The official version doesn't even hold up to minimal scrutiny.

When you combine the words you have already muddied the waters. A theory is testable but conspiracies are often vague, temporary and because their motivation is hidden hard to simplify. The phrase is also used as a shield to honesty as the vagueness makes any answer questionable. That's just conspiracy thinking is an easy comeback. Are there conspiracies, of course, today many involve corporate or banking shenanigans, 2008 showed that, as did Enron, as does the fight against global warming. Agnotology is a interesting piece of the puzzle. Enough money can buy anything.
"People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary." Adam Smith

That is childish nonsense.
The shot conspiracy nuts say was impossible has been repeated dozens of times. An analysis of the Zapruder indisputably shows Kennedy hit from the rear. His autopsy report supports the contention that he was not shot from the front.
There was one shooter. It was Lee Harvey Oswald. The hots were fired from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. There was no second shooter. Kennedy wasn't killed by Martians or Greys from Dulce. He was killed by a disgruntled nobody named Oswald.
