Conspiracy theories can significantly erode public trust in institutions by creating a perception that powerful entities are deceitful or corrupt. When conspiracy theories gain traction, they can undermine confidence in government, scientific institutions, and the media, making it harder for these institutions to effectively communicate and govern. This erosion of trust can lead to increased polarization and skepticism.
