The subjs were asked: Would you share these stories online?
The results seemed to defy #logic of modern #politics or #polarization. “There were many…who seemed willing to share any #ConspiracyTheory, regardless of the party…,” Petersen said.

Above all, they seemed drawn to stories that undermined #trust in every system of #power.
