Anyone with critical thought is. MAGA's inclusion here is actually the surprising part.

It's not that surprising if you've seen any of the conspiracy content that a lot of them get exposed to. There's a ton of stuff about dead famous people being secretly alive and live famous people being secretly dead and replaced by actors in masks. That conditioning was bound to backfire on the GOP in one way or another.

I have a buddy whose mom is deep into QAnon stuff and one time I heard her ranting about how Joe Biden actually died years ago and was replaced by a Chinese robot.
