Republicans Can Believe Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast

According to Chris Hayes on All In With Chris Hayes, Economist/YouGov poll results showed that 49% of self-identified Republicans still (December 28, 2016) think it is "definitely true" or "positively true" that leaked emails from John Podesta (Hillary's campaign manager) and other Hillary staffers contained code words for pedophilia, human trafficking and Satanic ritual abuse (the basis of the Pizzagate conspiracy).

25% of Republicans believe that Obamacare has decreased the number of people with health insurance.

35% of Republicans believe the number of people insured has remained the same.

Actually, the number has increased by something like 10 million (different surveys, with different methodologies, get different results; 10 million is a conservative estimate and approximate average).

So 60% of Republicans think the number of insured people has either decreased or stayed the same, when it has increased by 10 million.

The poll also showed that 52% of Republicans believe that millions of illegal votes were cast in the recent presidential election.

It also showed that 52% of Republicans (the same 52%??!!) believe it is definitely or probably true that President Obama was born in Kenya.

What alternate universe do these people live in?
