Who believes in conspiracy theories? Statistically speaking: almost everyone.

A team of researchers recently showed several thousand Americans a list of 20 common conspiracy theories and asked if they believed them. These included false conspiracy theories about the John F. Kennedy assassination, 5G cellular wireless technology, Barack Obama’s birth certificate, covid-19 and climate change. The result: Nine in 10 Americans believed in at least one conspiracy theory.

The study — led by Adam Enders of the University of Louisville and Joseph Uscinski of the University of Miami — surveyed a representative sample of 2,023 Americans in March 2020 and 2,015 more in October 2020. This article uses questions from their surveys to test your knowledge — and your credulity.

So, can you tell fact from fiction, or will you fall down the rabbit hole? Scroll down to find out.

5. I agree

The SCOTUS did steal the 2000 election

2. 6/6. Hadn't heard the one about Trump faking COVID. Collusion?

I didn’t say Trump colluded with the Russians because I knew the WaPo wouldn’t have that as a correct answer.

4. Yeah, that is the one I'd never heard before. And ditto on the Trump/Russia collusion.

I did find it annoying that WAPO chose to underscore and conclude a failure by Mueller to find sufficient evidence for legal purposes as evidence that the whole thing was a conspiracy theory.

3. I'll never know. Paywall.

6. Having doubts about some of these items is one thing,

believing in different opinions than the official explanations
is another.

7. 6/6 But I think being a bit older helps with facts...

I wouldn't expect my kids to know about Iran-Contra, LSD or Tuskegee.

8. Meh

Quite possible to be conspiratorial at times while still not buying the goofiest shit that seems to get the most traction
