 king deliberative societies\, inflaming discourse and degrading democracy?
  How much more prone to violence are conspiracy theorists?  Which politica
 l party is more likely to traffic in conspiratorial talk? Has the Internet
  ushered in a new era of conspiracy-fueled paranoia? Using original data s
 ources spanning more than a century\, Joseph E. Uscinski and Joseph M. Par
 ent provide surprising answers. In taking stock of American conspiracy the
 ories\, Uscinski and Parent  argue that much of what we thought we knew ab
 out conspiracy theories needs amending.\n\n\nJoseph E. Uscinski is Assista
