Right, and Marilyn Monroe's death is why people believe that the moon landing was faked? Or are we overthinking this?
I would suggest that people believe in Pizzagate because other people who knew better but had reasons to pretend not encouraged them to do so. Once you start from the premise that Hillary Clinton is the Queen of Night, and that clues to this truth are woven throughout the fabric of reality, then any old list of nouns--pizza, takeout, whatever--can be mapped to any other list plausibly enough.
(If I sound grouchy about this, I am--I sometimes shop or dine on the block where Comet Pizza is.)
