There is no way to have a properly functioning democracy without an informed public. But time after time polls show that far too many Americans believe in conspiracy theories. A recent poll conducted by The Economist/YouGov found that a persons political preferences are a major factor in determining whether theyll believe a conspiracy with Trump voters being especially susceptible to them.
First, the poll found that Americans of all political stripes are ill-informed on some major issues.
Do you believe there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq that the U.S. never found?
53% YES / 47% NO
Do you believe that vaccines cause autism?
31% YES / 69% NO
When it comes to partisan issues, Trump voters are more likely to believe in conspiracies than Clinton voters.

I certainly believe in the VRWC, as I am its founder and its central controlling brain.

I’m sure what they consider to be “conspiracy theories” is highly filtered.

There is no way to have a properly functioning democracy without an informed public. This idiot managed to stuff a boatload of irony in one sentence. While bemoaning how poorly WE are informed, he doesn't even know we are not a democracy.

A conspiracy theory is anything that opposes globalist government.

President Obama was born in KenyaDon't see how that's a "conspiracy" nor where it's been shown untrue.

After this past election, why should anyone believe anything with the word “poll” attached to it?
