Are You a Believer in QAnon in 2019?
People just don't believe anything they see online everywhere, no matter how many times the media tries to say that this is what's going on. We have 100 years of research into political communication. People are very picky with what they ingest in terms of news sources. And then even within that, what they choose to believe from those.

But there is some sort of research around conspiratorial thinking and inclination.
