Donald Trump welcomed the conspiracy at the White House. Its followers stormed Congress. Big Tech still seems not to care. Mike Rothschild’s book should sound the alarm for us all

of the Q movement is more important than ever. Why? Partly because of the crucial role played by so many QAnon devotees in the storming of the Capitol on 6 January 2021 but mostly because Rothschild documents how much of this insanity has penetrated to the heart of the new Republican party, propelled by many of America’s most loathsome individuals, from Ted Cruz and Donald Trump Jr to Alex Jones, Michael Flynn and Roseanne Barr.

Asked about a movement which has repackaged most of the oldest and harshest racist and antisemitic conspiracies for a new age,“I don’t know much about the movement,” he mumbled, “other than I understand they like me very much, which I appreciate.” More than anything else, this is the latest horrific confirmation of what the social psychologist Jonathan Haidtdescribed as “the power of social media as a universal solvent, breaking down bonds and weakening institutions everywhere it reached”.

By 2019, “Trump was routinely retweeting QAnon-promoting accounts.” By the 2020 election, “Trump had retweeted hundreds … and was regularly sharing memes created by the movement”.
