Conspiracy Theory Thinking (Redux)

In the one-hundred-and-ninety-sixth episode, we take another look at the Conspiracy Theory Thinking Fallacy, starting with Trump and Mike Johnson claiming the California primaries are rigged, and a Flat Earther remaining unconvinced by the Artemis II mission.

In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Nigel Farage conspiratorially theorising about two-tier justice systems, and Liz Truss coming up with unfalsifiable theories for why the Tories lost the election so badly.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Frasier, Avatar, Superstore, and Conspiracy Theory (the 1997 film).

Jim and Mark go head-to-head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes was made up by Jim.

Then we talk about the 'Great' American State Fair.

And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.

Subscribe to Fallacious Trump to make sure you never miss a logical fallacy. Rather than just mindless anti-Trump rhetoric, we apply skepticism and critical thinking to our Donald Trump analysis by exploring his liberal use of logical fallacies and cognitive biases, along with a bit of humor and news about US politics. (But there is also some of that much needed anti-Trump rhetoric.)
