No. How did this happen, who are these followers, and how do these adherents reconcile their worldview with the America they see around them? Mike Rothschild, a journalist specializing in conspiracy theories, explains all-taking readers from the earliest posts on 4Chan to its embrace by right-wing media, and the game that Donald Trump has played with its followers. As rabid adherents to the theory show no sign of calming-with Baby Boomers especially susceptible to its messaging-families are being torn apart and politicians are starting to openly espouse the ideology in their campaigns.
