A conspiracy theory has run unabated in Democratic circles following the assassination attempt against former president Donald Trump on Saturday. It posits that Trump staged the shooting for a photo op, that the wound on his ear was caused by something other than an assassin's bullet, and that he was never in mortal danger.
It's a baseless conspiracy theory disproven by reams of documentary evidence and eyewitness accounts. And it's a belief held by one-third of the Democratic electorate.
One in three registered Democrats believe it is "credible" that the shooting Saturday in Butler, Pa., was staged and not intended to kill Trump, according to a Morning Consult poll released Monday. The findings show that large swaths of the Democratic base have fallen prey to the phenomenon known as "BlueAnon," a play on the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory that once gripped portions of the Republican base and served as an obsession of the mainstream media throughout the first Trump administration.
But the Morning Consult poll shows that BlueAnon adherents among the Democratic base far outnumber their QAnon counterparts on the right. The poll showed that 34 percent of Democratic voters found it either definitely or probably credible that Trump staged Saturday's shooting, with less than half—45 percent—saying the conspiracy theory is not credible. By comparison, a widely cited 2021 poll found that only 23 percent of Republicans were QAnon believers.
The rise of BlueAnon can be attributed to prominent Democratic activists and liberal media commentators egging on the notion that Trump staged Saturday's shooting.

Who gives a flying rat what they think. The only that is real to them are dudes dressing up like pretty princesses.
What’s that they say about nothing being true until a liberal denies it?
Vegetarians.

This just in, two thirds of democrats are mind numbed sheep who would believe whatever comes fromThe View or MSNBC.
So if only one third believe the “staged” theory, I call that progress.
If the event was staged, then how do you explain what happened to Corey Comperatore and the two that were wounded?
More like he is climbing into the snowy mountain forests in search of sasquatch.
Such a belief pretty much confirms that the Democrat Party is a cult, a Satanic one at that.
Leftism is a serious mental disorder, made worse by Trump Derangement Syndrome. He’s the Bogeyman, the focus of evil in the world.
We just have to hang in there and keep our wits about us. This madness will pass. Pray for our confused and pathetic fellow Americans, and stay far away from mainstream media!
What's astonishing is that two thirds of Democrats are lucid enough to resist the propaganda and not believe it.
And ‘polls’ said Hillary Clinton had a 95-97% chance of winning the 2016 election. Polls say whatever the poll takers want them to say.
That part of the population believes anything they spew on the airwaves. Next they’ll be saying aliens have landed and ask to speak to our leader, Brandon. These are lemmings or mmore like swine in the Bible, maybe they should run off the cliffs like those too.
Yeah, I went there.
foothills of crazy.
A man’s gotta know his limitations. Dirty Harry
to be that stupid you have to believe someone would think “ya, he can just graze my ear!” is a good idea
and that the democrat ran USSS was in on the plan.
of course they do!
One-third of democrats would also walk around barking like dogs, if their leaders and their media told them to.
I’d like to see the results of a poll of the people who said they think it was staged, how many of them would stand in that field and let someone take a shot at their ear? I’d bet the percentages would be close to 0. (There are morons in every crowd). These idiots watch too much TV if they think that a 20 year old “cut from the team for being a comically bad shot” loser can just nick your ear from 140 yards. OUTSIDE. These are people to whom the term “windage” means nothing.
1/3 of Democrats probably still believe the Steele Dossier
