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.

The other 1/3 are waiting for proof.
First I think that’s a low estimate. Maybe Trump should have faked his own death. These people are sick!
This is up there with Putin blowing up his own pipeline. Its a cover for something. The assassination may have been the October Surprise?
“You just cannot reason with, and coexist with, these poisonous morons.”
People this delusional can never accept reality if it conflicts with their delusion.
While I agree with the glowing reactions from patriots to the RNC convention, I believe there will be a VIOLENT uprising across America to the corrections for American governance that MUST BE IMPOSED by a Trump Administration because too many on the Left are mentally ill.
Good people cannot live in the distorted delusions of these zombies.
A bowling ball has a higher IQ than mots DIM voters.
“We need a super sharp-shooter who can hit Trump’s ear from 140 yards.”
“We’ve got just the guy for you! A pimply 20 year old mental midget insane loner who doesn’t know which end of the rifle to pick up.”
Total nonsense. No person in his right mind, even with the very best sniper in the world (let alone a 20 year old boy with iron sight AR) a wound-only head shot like that. No one
They believe it because it is something they would do. They think we are just as dishonest and corrupt as they are.
1/3rd? Well, there are ~30M folks with IQ < 85 and they are all in the Democratic base. Discount the ones that are still kids — Democrats are plotting to tranny them, don’t need the votes.
Let’s say 20M voters. OK, Beijing Biden only got 60M votes — the “extra” 20M were mailin ballots for the illegal aliens they let in. So 20M/60M is 1/3rd.
Agreed… say I wonder what that big red combine a CASE Is doing parked there. Haven’t read anything about it. Would appreciate some info on this. This red case combine is between the shooter??? and Trump. It just doesn’t look right.
*because too many on the Left are mentally ill.*
To put an understandable twist.. These people have let their minds, language, and beliefs be influenced and/or controlled by the snake in the garden.
<< 1/3 of Democrats probably still believe the Steele Dossier >>
I’m guessing the percentage is a lot higher than that. The MSM pounded that BS into the heads of the mush-brained masses for so long that it doesn’t matter how thoroughly exposed and discredited it is. Too much emotionally invested to discard.
One third??
1/3 is not enough...work it liberals and you can get this to at least 50% by the end of the day. You know you want to believe.
The polls from last night show Trump has increased his lead into outside-the-margin territory.
I guess you can believe whatever you want.
PROOF of the complete failure of our education system.
Is that surprising, considering how many believed a germaphobe wanted prostitutes peeing on him, or who after hearing there was a FISA warrant to monitor his campaign that the government wasn’t spying on his campaign, or...or....or.....
The same percentage believed: “..Safe! and Effective!..”
(It’s what their flat-screen god tells them..)
You’ll find many previous references to the “Death Camp 40”. That’s the percentage of the population which will vote Dem even as they were put in line by the Dems at a death camp.
Been that way at least since Clinton.
One-Third of Dems Believe Conspiracy Theory That Trump Staged Assassination AttemptIt's called projecting or wishful thinking.
How safe would it be to hire assassins to fake assassinate you? That is a level of trust which is beyond comprehension.
