Sociology professor Christopher T. Conner started looking into the QAnon movement four years ago, but his research soon broadened into all kinds of conspiracy theorists, from race scientists to New Age spiritualists. He writes for @TheConversationUS about why people are susceptible, how politicians and influential figures take advantage of them, and what could be done. Do you have conspiracy theorists in your life (if you don't know any, maybe it's you 👀)?

"Being critical of those in positions of power is a healthy thing, but there are times in which trust in leadership makes sense – like listening to firefighters evacuating a building or public health officials during a global pandemic."

The difference here is that a firefigher is an expert in their profession. Whereas the political leader or the business leaders is in a position of power for many reasons, and most of them have nothing to do with expertise. With the fire-fighters we can trust they are their for our benefit, with those in power, (corporate & political) we can't be so sure.
