A Brief Glimpse into the Fervid Mind of the Tea Party
Politico relays the results of a PPP poll.
Republicans are more likely than Democrats to believe in conspiracy theories about President Barack Obama and the federal government, according to a new poll, which found nearly two-thirds of Republicans believe the president is trying to secretly take away Americans’ guns.
Overall, 36 percent of Americans believed the administration is secretly trying to take away everyone’s guns, with 62 percent of Republicans believing that compared with 14 percent of Democrats, according to left-leaning Public Policy Polling’s survey released Wednesday.
Which of course, bears no resemblance to reality. Last week, the Interior Department recently announced expanding hunting and fishing within the National Wildlife Refuge System.
But, it gets better:
As for Obama’s future…:
- 44 percent of Republicans believe Obama is secretly working on a way to stay in office beyond 2016
- 46 percent of Republicans believe Muslims are trying to implement Sharia law
- 27 percent of Republicans believe that bankers are working to eliminate paper currency, before cutting the power grid and forcing citizens into worldwide slavery
There’s more, of course, at the article. Guess which party has twice as many people by % who believe in false flag trutherism? The results will astound you!
Or not.
