David Harsanyi delves into the mindset of people who think Republicans would usher in the Handmaid's Tale and who compare Trump's Madison Square Garden rally to a pro-Nazi rally held there eight decades earlier.
In The Rise of BlueAnon, David Harsanyi reveals how the left has been consumed by a uniquely dangerous and delusional brand of conspiracy theories. And unlike those on the right, the Left's conspiracy theories are rarely kept in check by mainstream institutions. How many Demats are donning tinfoil hats? Way more than the media will admit:
· A recent poll found nearly twice as many Demats as Republicans believed "the Holocaust is a myth."
· Historically, Demats are more likely to be 9/11 "Truthers."
· Demats have been accusing Republicans of stealing elections since Reagan defeated Carter.
· Despite their lawn signs declaring, "science is real," Demats are twice as likely to believe in astrology as Republicans.
· Most of the Americans who believe that alien spacecraft are observing our planet right now are Demats.
· Demats have spread the most successful conspiracy theory in American history: The Trump-Russia collusion hoax.
From shrieks that we're just one election away from living in The Handmaid's Tale, to shrills that the world will end in 12 years from a corporation-caused climate catastrophe, Demats have whipped themselves up with unfounded fears and falsehoods.
Virtually all mainstream media experts, pundits, and late-night talk-show hosts claim that conservatives are a bunch of unhinged conspiracy theorists. The Rise of BlueAnon is a fun, hard-hitting, and insightful refutation of this myth, and it shows why so many Demat accusations are, in reality, projections.
