Great article, and helps explain why MAGA's are obsessed with vote fraud but are the only ones being arrested for it. "…the present studies provide…evidence that [for] some samples and…conspiracy theories, the perception that 'they did it' is fuelled by the perception that 'I would do it'."
Does it take one to know one? Endorsement of conspiracy theories is influenced by personal willingness to conspire.

Most liked on X and BlueskyOne of the interesting things about conspiracy theorists- one reason they seem to believe in conspiracies is because on average more of them are willing to participate in a conspiracy and are projecting. https://t.co/TMZ1LLuE1a I'm sure that has nothing to do with this, though. https://t.co/khdAJcLiaU

Hmm does it take one to know one? Not necessarily, muck has lied his way around America since he came here, he is an illegal immigrant. A loud mouth bully who thinks he’s better than 99% of the population. Navarro is just as bad but in a different way, he actually believes he’s better than 99% of us
Does it take one to know one?
So, does it take one to know one?

Wystąpienie @AndZyberto przypomina wyniki Douglas i Suttona. Ludzie wierzący w teorie spiskowe częściej sami próbują knuć spiski. Skoro - ich zdaniem - wszystko jest wynikiem cynicznej gry, to sami zaczynają instrumentalizować nawet własną przeszlość. https://t.co/pDa0FrAx6Q
