A Brief History of Right-Wing Conspiracies in America

arglebargleboi Published 07/24/2020

Jared Yates Sexton is a political commentator and author whose most recent book, 'American Rule,' tracks the history of America from the days of its foundation and attempts to expose the inconvenient truths that have been swept aside in favor of a more glorified national narrative.

In a recent Twitter thread, Sexton provides a concise but thorough review of the role conspiracy theories like the 'Protocols of Zion' and the more recent 'QAnon" have played in shaping the American agenda, particularly when it comes to right-wing conservatives.
