50% of Trump supporters are believers in Qanon delusions

A full 50 percent of President Trump’s supporters now believe the bizarre, made-up claims about an international ring of child sex traffickers at the core of the extremist conspiracy theory known as QAnon, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll — a disturbing sign of how susceptible partisans have become to bogus stories in an age of rampant polarization and unbridled social media.

Was going to title it, 50% are batshit, but wasn't sure if forum rules allowed it. I am shocked if this is accurate. They're full on cultists.

I feel they believe it all - as is, mispronunciations, misquotes, lies and all.

Furthermore, I don't see a difference between a Trump Supporters, a GOPer, a Libertarian, the Alt-Right, the Tea Party, Fascists, etc. - they are the Right in America.

Very few from the Right have done anything to stop Trump. Some have even died for Trump and his lies; Herman McCain took in the Trump lie and paid for it with his life. And, it was a lie, given how Trump admitted to the severity of COVID on record.

Oh. look. It's almost as if "you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables".

 

[alexruiz]

I am surprised it is that LOW...
Many of them believe it because it makes the orange slime ball look like a savior, so they'll believe anything that makes their leader look good.

And this is why I say we are still fucked after Trump. The brain damage was already there. He just knew how to poke it for the response he wanted.

Agreed. As I say to friends, even if Biden wins, what do we do with tens of millions of civically mindless brainwashed Trumphumpers?

I'm hoping they will crawl back into their holes they were in pre-2016.

Thankfully I live nowhere near these crazies anyways.

 

[HomerJS]

That's why I say Dems just need to blast through reforms/fixes/changes as soon as they get into office.

Fuck those people

It used to be that the nut jobs were spread across the political spectrum but the right has been actively courting them and herding that particular type of sheep into their fold.
Nut jobs aren't necessarily right wing, they have been nurtured to be right wing. It's a deliberate act.

We show them that it'll be alright, that we're not the enemy.

The End Days of the Trump Dynasty are nigh. His supporters feel it in the marrow of their bones and it frightens many of them into a panicked frenzy that manifests itself in so many weird and curious ways.

They felt the comfort that his racism gave them. They regaled in how he cried out "America First!" ignoring/not knowing that he was referring to the America of the wealthiest, the America where he could exploit it for fun and profit so as to get rid of the heavy debt load he's carrying on his shoulders and the crimes he's committed that he refuses to be held accountable for.

The problem is that they are manically against anything in their best interest. It’s mind boggling.

Let's say the ACA gets overturned and pre-existing conditions, among other benefits, get killed. And Republicans are in power and do nothing to reinstate these benefits. They'll just blame it on Hilary and the Democrats and these rubes will eat it up. It'll still be our fault somehow as these people do not live in reality.

Right now would be a good time to do that. 2016 would have been the best time to start.

Back on topic. Reading through the actual poll data, the answer to the direct qanon question is 18% reps believe it. I assume that 50% number is derived by conglomerating the other sex traffic questions?

 

[MrSquished]

Right now would be a good time to do that. 2016 would have been the best time to start.

Dems had zero power in 2016 on the federal level. In 2018 they took the House, so talk to Mitch, all the good the Dems tried to pass is sitting on his desk.

 

[sandorski]

A good portion of them won't have even heard of it in a few weeks.

Liberals are not responsible for half the right believing that Trump is trying to stop a ring of satanic pedophiles. Period.

Greenman probably blames the Dems for this as Podesta and others talked about Pizza in some emails.

He thinks all the bad behavior and batshit beliefs of the right are attributable to liberals being so mean to them. It's the impotent cry of the center-right apologize we hear so frequently. "I don't believe all these batshit things, but the only reason they believe it is because liberals forced them to."

Yes, this exactly. You always know when republicans are ashamed of something they are doing because they blame liberals for making them do it.

They refuse to see that with every ounce of their being.

Oh man are you going to be outraged when you learn that that Trump guy has confessed on tape to serial sexual assaults.

Liberals are certainly not responsible for those beliefs. I think that being mean to them about it does help reinforce those beliefs.

It’s not children though. They only care about embryos and children. Adults, not so much, unless there is an unsubstantiated, conspiracy theory that they molest children. Then look out.
