What do you mean, "no longer"? When have these parts of America ever shown an ability to distinguish reality from fiction? Indeed, religion depends on people being unable to distinguish reality from fantasy.
With pizzagate (for those who don't know what "pizzagate" is, a simple online search is all you need to do), it is an especially nice touch that the alleged activities take place in the basement of a building that does not have a basement. It is as if the inventor of the lie wanted to provide the maximum amount of falsehood in the story. No matter how much falsehood there is in a story, people believe it anyway.
Human stupidity is limitless.
According to a poll taken in 2016, 46% of Trump supporters believed pizzagate:

Human stupidity is boundless.
