The Role of Evidence in Con Conspiracy Theories
Conspiracy theories are most likely to take hold when there is some form of evidence that people can use as a hook to hang their beliefs on. I think another interesting example of this is molestation of children because you have a case like Jeffrey Epstein where clearly there was molestation going on at just an incredibly large scale. And it's clearly different than what QAnon claims. That there's this like pedophile ring where they like take the adrenochrome from babies or something and uses a drug which is 100% false.
