"Conspiracy" is Such An Ugly Word

Even when one of the ex-presidents who CAN talk uses it.

Problem is, a conspiracy kind of implies secrecy, which is an element that is necessarily lacking from a smear campaign. It's just darned innacurate. "Vast right-wing Orwellian rebranding" is better, or "vast right-wing mob incitement" would be fantastic, if they weren't so long and hard to spell. I'm going with "vast right-wing hate-mongering". Open to suggestions, people!
