"Do you believe that top Democrats are involved in elite child sex-trafficking rings?"   50% of Trump supporters say yes, 5% of Biden supporters say yes.   I wonder what the results would be if they said "top politicians" instead of "top Democrats."

Belief in QAnon as a whole is much smaller, just 15% of Trump supporters say "I believe it is true."  The QAnon conspiracy is not just belief in an individual element, but all of them together and the story that fits them together.

Merica!

[Sir Mohamed]

Didn't a 2016 poll find 20% of them support slavery? That in mind, I'm surprised it isn't more.

[Santander]

You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.

[HisGrace]

Cool, they can say hello to JFK Jr. and Elvis for me.

[Bootes Void]

i remember hillary calling half of trump supporters deplorable. here you have it

[HisGrace]

We're all talking about the "deplorable" comment but this has more to do with being stupid than anything else. They're twits who believe everything they read on the internet despite saying "OmG YoU cAN'T tRuST te mEDia!11!!1!" to baselessly dispute established facts.

Answering yes to the second question--that Trump is actively working to dismantle the pedophile ring/rings--is pretty distinctively QAnon even if the overall belief that a lot of top politicians are pedos isn't.

 It's not just Trump supporters. The Q stuff is starting to gain traction with many other groups that use social media and believe in conspiracy theories.

[Wakie77]

Let's be fair here.  Most Trump supporters are mentally unbalanced anyway.

I still think she was lowballing it.

[All Along The Watchtower]

Basket of deplorables etc

[TrumpBritt24]

Can't wait to vote in the '24 GOP Primary.

Sometimes I'm starting to think human kind gets dumber rather than more educated. At least a certain segment of societies in America and Europe. QAnon, Chemtrails, Flatearthers, "Covid is a fake", these people really lack sanity. But of course, it's just a sign of time where each idiot can sh*tpost stuff on the internet and make stuff up while with no check whatsoever. And if there is a check, it gets attacked as censorship.

 The weirdos who run these internet and social media companies want it that way. They don't like Democracy and if they can game a person to believe nonsense that person can't engage in the political process in a meaningful way, to advocate for real policies that benefit them. Instead they're always chasing phantoms and "the real truth" while being made a total non-factor in the real world.

"Many people are saying two plus two equals five.  A lot of very respected people are saying it, and you know, nobody knew that before now."

A week later:

"Pew: 44% of Americans believe 2 + 2 = 5, a dramatic increase from 2% the previous month"

[7,052,770]

This can't be true. I've read repeatedly on the Atlas Forum Talk Elections that QAnon is a Democratic boogeyman that few Republicans have ever heard of, much less believe.

What I want to know is, who are the 5% of Democratic voters who think Biden is a secret sex trafficker but are going to vote for him anyways?

The sex traffickers, obviously.

Don't forget the 13% of Biden supporters who are unsure whether Democrats are running peado-ring

Do you think Trump supporters are concerned about these children stolen from their parents?

There are those who believe all politicians are involved in pedophilles, I know some of them, so maybe they think Biden is the lesser of two evils. Those sort of people in my experience don't vote or vote libertarian though.

In my experience, the Flynn effect is very real, and the issue stems from a segment of the population that would've been long dead were it not for medical advancements and social welfare programs. This is the danger of allowing a gerontocracy to take root. Donald Trump is a moron, but he's also suffered significant cognitive decline. As has Joe Biden, Diane Feinstein, the late RBG, etc.
