Resurgence of ‘Zombie’ Conspiracy Theories Ahead of US Elections
In the lead-up to the US elections, a host of discredited conspiracy theories are experiencing a revival. Despite being thoroughly debunked, these ‘zombie’ falsehoods, encompassing topics such as migrants, vaccines, and pedophilia rings, are once again circulating, finding fertile ground among deeply polarized voters.
The Undying Myths That Shape Voter Perceptions
It seems that no matter how many times a stake is driven through the heart of these conspiracy theories, they rise again to walk among the electorate. The term ‘zombie’ conspiracy theories aptly describes these ideas that refuse to stay in the grave of debunked falsehoods. They are resurrected, often with a new twist, to haunt the political landscape.
Researchers suggest that the persistence of these theories is a testament to the power of narrative over fact in the current political climate. The emotional resonance of a conspiracy theory can often outweigh the dry, less compelling nature of the truth. This is particularly true in an era where social media algorithms are designed to amplify content that engages, regardless of its veracity.
Why Do ‘Zombie’ Theories Resonate?
The appeal of these conspiracy theories lies in their simplicity and the clear narrative of good versus evil they present. They offer an easy explanation for complex issues and tap into deep-seated fears and prejudices. In a world that feels increasingly uncertain, the allure of a conspiracy theory can be strong, providing a sense of control or understanding, however illusory.
Moreover, these theories often find champions among influential figures and media personalities who lend them credibility. Once endorsed, they spread rapidly across social media platforms, where they are shared and reshaped by communities that are often insulated from opposing viewpoints.

While these conspiracy theories are primarily a feature of the US political landscape, their resurgence has implications that reach far beyond American shores. In Jersey, as in many places, the digital world knows no borders, and the spread of misinformation can affect public opinion and even policy.
