Here’s the real story. Trump is delivering on his promises. Making the FBI great again.

From a study published in the American Journal of Political Science, by University of Minnesota researchers:

1) Individuals with a high level of trust in institutions are less likely to endorse conspiracy theories. Individuals with a high level of skepticism in institutions are more likely to endorse a conspiracy theory.

2) It is only logical then, that a Trump supporter would be of an open mind to a conspiracy theory because Trump has spent so much time disparaging the competency and credibility of institutions, including his own Department of Justice and the Attorney General he appointed, as well as the United States Intelligence Community. Throughout the 2016 Presidential campaign, he frequently stated, "The system is rigged, folks."

3) A highly knowledgeable individual is more likely to engage in an ideologically motivated endorsement of a conspiracy, if they believe the world is an untrustworthy place. This also fits Trump supporters because for them an individual's own personal integrity is not as important as it is for someone to "fight the system".

4) Conservatives and liberals knowledgeable about politics are less likely than their unknowledgeable counterparts to endorse incongruent conspiracies but a conservative is more likely to suspend a level of disbelief, if the conspiracy is ideologically suitable to them. This gets back to #3, for the conservative Trump supporter, the integrity of the individual is not as important as his will to "fight the system". That is birtherism in a nutshell. Trump promised proof Obama wasn't born in the United States and never delivered. That is not as important to his supporters as "sticking it to the man" or someone who will "fight the system".

Take that for what it's worth. Probably means nothing to you but I found it interesting and I think there is a shred of truth to those points. Republicans really have the conspiracies going these days at an incredible rate. Almost paranoid.

I understand you like to deflect, but care to address my statement that while you were going on about liberals not buying into conspiracy theories, your fellow liberal, luther, was promoting his conspiracy theory about the right-wing agenda against Hillary that he loves to promote. Both sides have them, the problem is, when it comes from your side, you like to treat it as fact, yet anything from the other side must obviously be fiction. Honestly, I wish people on both sides would stop acting like "we don't do that" when both sides obviously do it.

I'm just saying. Fox is way better at fact checking the news and not going crazy with unverified facts like CNN does.

Fox News did have to retract their story by Malia Zimmerman on the Seth Rich murder conspiracy from May. That was driven by their bias to deflect from the Mueller probe and very sloppy reporting.

The lesson we need to learn is to not attribute crazy people to your political opponents. When a Bernie Sanders supporter attacked a Republican baseball field, that wasn't Bernie Sander's fault. It isn't Trump's fault either that any of this happened.

Really? Cause all I've seen from the left is how it "had to be a Trump worshipper ".

"Republicans just don't do things like this." - Rush Limbaugh

... and come on, Fox News has really been pushing the "false flag" theory hard on multiple shows. Posters here have picked it up as well. I know you have seen it.
