Wow, what an amazing resource! A great, thorough next read for those who want to make an academic website. Thanks for sharing Mimansa! I'll add a link to this on my post.

With APSA and the job market upon us, it's a great time to create (or update) your website. It's not just "nice to have." It's key for making connections and promoting your work. I break down why you need an academic website and how to put one together.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this collaboration possible and to those who provided feedback and support on the project.

We call this the electoral "externalities" of conspiracy theory support. Voters may not like politicians endorsing QAnon, but they draw inferences about what that endorsement signals about e.g., anti-establishment attitudes, outsider status, or ideological orientation.

Our results are a corrective to conventional wisdom that conspiracy theory support is electorally beneficial. So why do candidates do it? One possibility is strategic error and/or true belief. Another is that candidates are trying to signal something else.

In summary. We found: . - QAnon supporting candidates got more negative news coverage, but not more attention. - Supporting QAnon _weakened_ candidates' electoral fortunes in all surveys and across key subgroups. - QAnon support signals conservatism, but more to Democrats.

However, QAnon-endorsing candidates were viewed as more conservative across both survey types. But: Democrats viewed QAnon support as a strong signal of conservatism whereas Republicans viewed it as a weak signal---consistent with research about partisan misperceptions.
