American society has always been fertile ground for conspiracy theories, but with the election of Donald Trump, previously outlandish ideas suddenly attained legitimacy. Trump himself is a conspiracy enthusiast: from his claim that global warming is a Chinese hoax to the accusations of “fake news,” he has fanned the flames of suspicion.
But it was not by the power of one man alone that these ideas gained new power. Republic of Lies looks beyond the caricatures of conspiracy theorists to explain their tenacity. Without lending the theories validity, Anna Merlan gives a nuanced, sympathetic account of the people behind them, across the political spectrum, and the circumstances that helped them take hold. The lack of a social safety net, inadequate education, bitter culture wars, and years of economic insecurity have created large groups of people who feel forgotten by their government and even besieged by it. Our contemporary conditions are a perfect petri dish for conspiracy movements: a durable, permanent, elastic climate of alienation and resentment. All the while, an army of politicians and conspiracy-peddlers has fanned the flames of suspicion to serve their own ends.
Bringing together penetrating historical analysis and gripping on-the-ground reporting, Republic of Lies transforms our understanding of American paranoia.

Err, might it be within the bounds of acceptable possibility that this tome is itself an elaborately constructed conspiracy hoax? Just puttin’ it out there. Politics & journalism now seem merely to be extended branches of the (lack of) entertainment industry. Thanks, Jean-Paul.

Thanks, mpt, consider me corrected. I’ll have the second one, please, it’s far more elegant.

Literally like 4 or 5 massive fake news stories about Trump and this kent is still calling him a conspiracy theorist… yeah, that’s because it is a conspiracy. And she involved.

The notion of criticism and suspicion being the same thing as a nutty conspiracy theory is itself fake news, all of which have been employed by American politicians since George Washington decided to only accept two terms of office.

If only she had read the book faster and with less inflection.
