There is another psychological factor involved in those who tend to latch onto such theories: the powerless and disenfranchised, the people who feel life owes them something and especially those who feel life has cheated them out of some entitlement. Just look at the people who believe Trump’s Big Lie. ‘Immigrants are taking away your jobs’ ‘democrats stole the election’ — Trump knows very well how to stir up his base.
@metal-brain saidIt’s nothing to do with percentages. If everyone on the whole planet believes the Earth is a pancake at the center of a universe created in six days about 6,000 yrs ago, they are ALL deluded.
I can prove it.
I will start with African Americans. What percentage of African Americans believed OJ Simpson was innocent of murder right after the verdict was announced?
What percentage of Americans believed election interference claims by Hillary Clinton? What percentage of Americans believed election interference claims by Trump?

Everybody has a conspiracy theory that they think is sensible because it is not like those other silly conspiracy theories. This one makes sense, is what people tell themselves. It isn't like those nutjobs who think the moon landing was faked.
Even admitted conspiracy theorists have their standards. For example, I roll my eyes at conspiracy theories involving aliens from outer space. We all have our standards.
@metal-brain saidYou have standards?
Ohh please....

@metal-brain saidYour opinion doesn’t count. You don’t believe the rubbish you post here. Your purpose here is to sow doubt and discord among those likely to believe the rubbish you post.

@shavixmir saidI have never posted any aliens from outer space on here...ever!

Hillary Clinton is a conspiracy theorist. She openly said there was a vast right wing conspiracy to get them. She was behind the Steele Dossier, a fabricated conspiracy theory. Woodrow Wilson spoke of a political conspiracy. In politics conspiracy theories are actually very common.
Everybody believes conspiracy theories except for mentally handicapped people.
