As usual the NYT tells half the story to advance an agenda. Ten years ago you coulda asked about Area 51 conspiracies and gotten the exact same response rates.

If you ask leading questions you’ll get the answers you’re looking for. The poll is bad and the data is meaningless if you’re trying to find out what people think. However if you’re trying to push a specific agenda, and convince a large part of the other 85% that many “others” are crazy and need to be “re-educated”well then it’s a very useful poll.

You’ve been had.

"Ten years ago you coulda asked about Area 51 conspiracies and gotten the exact same response rates."

And that's a good thing to you? I don't get what you're saying.

Clearly there are people who believe in QAnon. And that's a problem. Not sure what you're trying to argue.

Yes, it shows that we're ok with people making their own decisions no matter how deluded, trying to pretend that this is some new phenomenon that is threatening the republic is hyperbole.
