The Rise of BlueAnon: How the Democrats Became a Party of Conspiracy Theorists

by David Harsanyi Narrated by Not Yet Available

Overview

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.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

A great writer.” — Mark Levin

"In First Freedom, Harsanyi is almost unparalleled in his clarity and adherence to principle, but that doesn't stop him from providing us with a rollicking and engaging read." — Mollie Hemingway on First Freedom

"David Harsanyi does Americans a service: he spells out in comprehensive, fascinating detail just how firearms are part of the American story ― and why they should continue to be seen as a crucial centerpiece ensuring American liberty. A must-read!" — Ben Shapiro on First Freedom

“One of America’s smartest political writers.” — Glenn Beck

“David Harsanyi offers a blunt warning about how the European Union’s deplorable ideas, attitudes, and institutions—atheism, assisted suicide, inert fertility, anemic economic growth, a shrinking population, socialism, pacifism, utopianism, climate change religion, restrictions against free expression and speech, anti-Semitism, and open borders—have rendered Europe as irrelevant abroad as it is an anti-Democratic mess at home. Harsanyi incisively warns Americans that Europe is neither a model for emulation nor will likely change its disastrous ways. His book should warn all Americans of what not to do.” — Victor Davis Hanson on Eurotrash

"David Harsanyi is one of America's most dedicated defenders of liberty, and is such a happy warrior he's like Genghis Khan on Prozac."  — Jonah Goldberg

“For more than two hundred years, the United States has been home to people fleeing repressive, often oppressive, European culture. Yet today Americans are increasingly looking toward Europe for answers to our cultural, political, and economic problems. In his new book, David Harsanyi brilliantly outlines why that’s exactly the wrong thing to do—and why traditional American ideas remain superior.”
— Brian Kilmeade on Eurotrash

"David Harsanyi is someone I read, no matter the subject, just because his byline is on an article or column."  — Fred Barnes
