Trump fans at least 3 times more likely to post conspiracy theories online as Clinton fans: data

If you know someone who is tweeting about the Illuminati, the New World Order or a hidden government organization that is controlling their mind, then they’re also probably supporting Donald Trump for president.

Social media analytics company Demographics Pro gave their latest numbers to the Daily Beast, showing Trump fans are 4.2 times more likely to talk about the New World Order on Twitter than supporters of Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.

In fact, of those tweeting using the hashtag #NewWorldOrder, 39 percent are also following Trump’s account. Those who believe the government is responsible for mass shootings like Sandy Hook and the Orlando Pulse shooting tweet about it using the hashtag #FalseFlag. Those that do, almost 32 percent followed Trump on social media and only 10 percent follow Clinton.
