Description

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 Democrats are donning tinfoil hats? Way more than the media will admit:

·        A recent poll found nearly twice as many Democrats as Republicans believed “the Holocaust is a myth.” 

·        Historically, Democrats are more likely to be 9/11 “Truthers." 

·        Democrats have been accusing Republicans of stealing elections since Reagan defeated Carter.

·        Despite their lawn signs declaring, “science is real,” Democrats 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 Democrats. 

·        Democrats 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, 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 refutation of this myth, and it shows why so many Democrat accusations are, in reality, projections.

Let's do a thought experiment:

You're at a party. Maybe a holiday party. Maybe a birthday party for a friend.

You start chatting it up with someone you haven't met before, I mean, how bad can it be? You all got invited, right?

The conversation is going well. You share some interests. The drinks are really greasing the wheels.

And then he/she says that the Earth is flat.

All the sound stops for a minute as you try to digest what you just heard. You go back through the conversation in your mind, looking for signs that you were talking to a crazy person. You think of all the evidence we have that the Earth is, indeed, spherical. You start to realize that, if he/she thinks the Earth is flat, he/she probably thinks we didn't on the Moon. He/she probably thinks that Sasquatch walks among us, that Nessy is really good at hide and seek, that the positions of the planets should determine what he/she should order at Starbucks today.
