A Lot of People Are Saying: The New Conspiracism and the Assault on Democracy

Sponsored by:
Political Science
Conspiracy theories are as old as politics. But conspiracists today have introduced something new?conspiracy without theory. And the new conspiracism has moved from the fringes to the heart of government with the election of Donald Trump. In A Lot of People Are Saying, Russell Muirhead and Nancy Rosenblum show how the new conspiracism differs from classic conspiracy theory, why so few officials speak truth to conspiracy, and what needs to be done to resist it.

Co-sponsored by the Alexander Hamilton Forum.
