Vice News: “Half of Republicans—and almost a third of Americans overall—said in a recent YouGov poll that it’s definitely or probably true that ‘top Democrats are involved in elite child sex-trafficking rings.’ That’s a slight uptick in belief of that core QAnon conspiracy from when the pollster started asking the question in 2020…”

“But claims made in bad faith can still pay political dividends, making even bonkers attacks risky to ignore. Democrats largely shrugged off GOP claims last election that even their most moderate members were socialists who wanted to defund the police‚ and then they were shocked to lose House seats in 2020. During a furious post-election conference call, many centrists complained their party had done too little to push back against those GOP claims.”
