![]() Dispensing with the burden of explanation, the new conspiracism imposes its own reality through repetition (exemplified by the Trump catchphrase "a lot of people are saying") and bare assertion ("rigged!"). There is no demand for evidence, no dots revealed to form a pattern, no close examination of shadowy plotters. 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.Ĭlassic conspiracy theory insists that things are not what they seem and gathers evidence-especially facts ominously withheld by official sources-to tease out secret machinations. And the new conspiracism has moved from the fringes to the heart of government with the election of Donald Trump. ![]() But conspiracists today have introduced something new-conspiracy without theory. ![]() How the new conspiracists are undermining democracy-and what can be done about itĬonspiracy theories are as old as politics. ![]()
