The Rise of BlueAnon

Republicans are often derided as a party of conspiracy theorists. But what if the Left’s conspiratorial thinking is even more unhinged?

A recent poll found nearly twice as many Democrats as Republicans believed “the Holocaust is a myth.” Meanwhile, 69 percent of the Americans who believe that alien spacecraft are observing our planet right now are Democrats, a far higher number than Republicans. And historically, Democrats are also more likely to be 9/11 “Truthers."" 

Despite their lawn signs declaring, “science is real,” Democrats are twice as likely to believe in astrology as Republicans. For all their shrilling about “democracy,” Democrats have been accusing Republicans of stealing elections since Reagan defeated Carter. And it is the Democrats who have spread the most successful conspiracy theory in American history: The Trump-Russia collusion hoax. 

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. From claims that we’re just one election away from living in The Handmaid’s Tale, to panic that the world will end in 12 years from a corporation-caused climate catastrophe, Democrats 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 counterargument that debunks Democrat myths, and shows why so many of their accusations are, in reality, projections.
