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

David Harsanyi

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.

Praise for this book

"The Rise of BlueAnon is one of the most important political books of the decade." -- Mark Judge

"A great writer." -- Mark Levin

"One of America's smartest political writers." -- Glenn Beck

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

"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 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 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

"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
