The Psychology of Qanon

Trying to find silver linings in the last four years, continued:
This period has certainly been a treasure trove of material for psychological analysis. In this instance, why has the Qanon conspiracy cult caught on with so many Americans? And how many of them will remain now that they were made fools of, on Inauguration Day?
Opinion | The Qanon conspiracy is bizarre. A psychologist explains why its supporters aren't insane.
The fear that evil forces conspire to hurt good people is deeply rooted in the human psyche.www.nbcnews.com
In a recent study conducted by myself, Karen Douglas and Clara De Inocencio, we further investigated why this could be the case. Our conclusion? Conspiracy theories reinforce a belief that nothing in the world happens through coincidence. This refusal to recognize the role of chance leads people to develop a worldview in which hostile and secret conspiracies permeate all layers of society.
Feelings of anxiety and uncertainty also help fuel conspiracy theories. Such emotions function as a psychological warning signal, leading people to try and make sense of societal events that frighten them. This helps to explain the widespread (and ongoing) speculation that followed impactful events such as 9/11 or the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Together with Nils Jostmann and Michele Acker, we found that feelings of uncertainty, coupled with the feeling that your life is not fully in your control anymore, increases conspiracy thinking. Studies by others researchers confirm that emotions reflecting uncertainty — such as fear or worry — can increase conspiracy beliefs.
How many believers are among us here? We'll be able to guess by counting how many of them scoff at, mock, and dismiss this article.
Why is it that QAnon is only known to libtards? The vast majority of conservatives have no idea what it is.

But to be in Maga you have to believe votes were changed or thrown out. There is nothing in the MSM, wall st J. Faux or even Rushbo to support that.The problem with the article is that it began with a specific and ended with the universal. So people inclined to disbelieve any notion that the Trump conspiracy theories are just that - factually unsupportable conspiracy theories - dismissed it. But my question concerns the concluding sentence. And that's where the article should have begun.
" Because the truth is that conspiracy theories will always thrive when people feel like they are not in control of their lives, and when significant tension exists between societal subgroups."
That's absolutely true but shouldn't be limited to Trumpism or mAGA.
Why do Maga supporters feel a tension between other groups in America and lack the ability to control their own lives? And saying their nuts is not a correct answer. Even men who burned women as witches (an example from the article) had a common reason or philosophical connection. A logical fallacy to put it mildly, but there was a common reason.
What is the Maga connection between people? And how can that compare and contrast to other groups?
60% of Dems think Putin has something on Trump. Blacks are least likely to want the covid vaccine.
RELEASE: New Survey Shows That Conspiracy Theories Are Thriving in U.S. as Election Nears
www.americanprogress.org
The issue is simple.
The mainstream press has no credibility - zero.
The so-called press are open propagandists for the party and for the Reich. No one believes anything the Baghdad Bob's of the NY Times vomit out - no one, not party members and not the Patriots. CNN and NBC are laughable fools who brazenly lie to our face even as contrary fact is presented. CNN pisses in our face and swears that it's raining even as the August sun beats down.
Years of complete absurdity by the party propaganda corps who have utter contempt for not only the truth, but for the American people who they believe so stupid as to believe the outrageous lies they publish and broadcast have left the party propaganda corps a laughing stock. No one believes the bullshit the democrat party clowns spew. You may dutifully recite it as a party member - but unless you are mentally retarded, you know full well that it's all lies.
The Internet allows the truth to occasionally slip through. Much of this is highly embarrassing to the party. So democrats do what is their Nazi nature, the slander, defame, and lie.
The Nazi Party defames detractors by labeling anything contrary to party dogma as "conspiracy." Never mind that the Russia Collusion hoax is the biggest and most absurd conspiracy theory in decades, and that the Nazi party still promotes it even after it has been proven beyond all doubt false. Anything harmful to the party, anything that exposes the clownish lies of the party press, anything that exposes the graft and corruption of the Reich, is defamed as a "conspiracy theory."
There are some conspiracy theories, and some are doozies. But the majority of the slander by the Reich Press is simply an attempt to discredit information harmful to the party.
This is a multi-pronged attack, censor, ban, discredit. The Reich fears information above all else. Usually the democrats cannot refute, so they defame. It's the Nazi way.
Maga is not the only group believing conspiracies. But dems are not told they can overturn an election, even when most believe Putin is behind Trump and blacks are telling other blacks to not believe fears of the vaccines.
When there are missing pieces of any story, conspiracies will fill in the blanks.
People don't necessarily have any proof of election fraud, but they know something wasn't right, and they see dems doing everything they can to make sure nothing is found out....
Trump got every recount he asked for, done by gopers and reviewed in courts by gopers. You are a conspiracy NUT. Not that there aren't NUTS in the progressive camp too.But to be in Maga you have to believe votes were changed or thrown out. There is nothing in the MSM, wall st J.
