Why Do So Many Of Us Believe Conspiracy Theories? w/ Prof. Joe Uscinski

It seems like American politics right now is filled with conspiracies. Deep state plots to undermine Trump. Vaccines cause autism. Joe Biden's Autopen or The Epstein Files. But University of Miami political science professor Joe Uscinski tells Grant, it's not the conspiracies that are the problem, or even how many people believe them, but that so many people in power right now believe them. It's a conversation that just might change the way you think about conspiracy theories, the people who believe them, and why you believe the ones you do too. LINKS: Professor Joe UscinskiConspiracy Theories: A PrimerPROMO CODE:Today's episode is sponsored by Distil UnionGet 20% your entire order with the code: MIMS25DISTILUNION.COMSupport the showFollow along on social media SaySo: @GrantHermes X: @GrantHermesInsta: @Grant__HermesTiktok: Grant_Hermes
