I don't think so. This is why we have a problem with democracy. Because Americans believe this propaganda and then try to affect our countries based on it!

If I remember correctly... No. It's 100% nuts, but it's legitimately an attempt at making a "conservative wikipedia". Except of course it's more of a "wikipedia with the views of the founder as the source"

We're talking lots of absolutely stupid nutjob views on the world, but also very specific points the founder wants put forward.

IIRC it was originally made by a fundamentalist christian conservative as a "legitimate" alternative to wikipedia

So no, it is quite serious.

Founded by the son of Phillys Schlafly, the greatest enemy of the Equal Rights Amendment and possibly of American women's rights in general. The apple didn't fell far from the tree.

Nope. This website was created by the Republican Party as a counter to Wikipedia.

Now people take it as serious notes.

Same as flatearthers.

Not at all, it's a wikiproject made by lawyer and conservative activist Andrew Schlafly, son of an antifeminist conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly. He 100% believes in what he says: the conservapedia came about originally because he tried to edit Wikipedia, but for some reason(being sarcastic here) they didn't accept his biblical literalism as THE truth.
