Engaging in conspiracies becomes a coping mechanism, a way to make sense of uncertainty.</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2024/sep/22/voters-learned-hopelessness-helplessness-democrats-trump" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int</span><span class="invisible">eractive/2024/sep/22/voters-learned-hopelessness-helplessness-democrats-trump</span></a></p>
