Více o knize

The book offers a critical examination of the rise of conspiracy theories in American politics, particularly their intertwining with the Republican Party. It explores bizarre claims surrounding events like the 2020 election and the Suez Canal incident, questioning why such absurdities resonate with many Americans. Through historical context, the author uncovers deep-rooted connections between these beliefs and Enlightenment principles, suggesting that the political landscape shaped by these theories will persist beyond the Trump era. Ultimately, it challenges readers to reconsider the notion of a "rigged" system and its implications.
