What are the liberal conspiracies? Only one that comes to mind is the Bernie being screwed over by the DNC thing. (and extensions from there like you should vote for Trump to piss of DNC or third party).
On the far left you'll get a lot of conspiracies around the CIA thwarting all attempts at socialism. On the moderate liberal side you'll get theories on Russia. Both of these have a lot more basis in reality then republican ones, but still every political movement has a boogie man and a set of people who will blame all the worlds problems in them.
I'm not sure how many of those can truly be called conspiracies, with the Freedom of Information act, we actually have a pretty significant amount of evidence that the CIA absolutely destabilizes countries that start gravitating toward socialism and replace their leaders with capitalist friendly ones. The CIA backed coup of Salvador Allende in Chili is just one example.
Johnny Harris did a good video on the history of the rest..
The original 9/11

The thing is, the CIA does. We get the proof declassified decades later
