You may not have heard the term “BlueAnon,” but it is being used more and more to describe unhinged left-wing conspiracy theories. Amber Duke writes about “The Rise of BlueAnon” in the October issue of The Spectator. David Harsanyi has his book coming out also documenting The Rise of BlueAnon: How the Democrats Became a Party of Conspiracy Theorists.
The term “BlueAnon” is a variation of the term “QAnon,” which was a series of fabricated claims made by an anonymous individual known as Q. While it is true that the far right have their conspiracy theories, it turns out that many more on the left believe conspiracy theories. These include claims that the attempted assassination of Donald Trump was a staged event. It also includes a viral tweet that J.D. Vance made salacious sexual admissions in his book Hillbilly Elegy that aren’t in his book but spread around the Internet at lightning speed.
The conspiracy theories of the left have a great impact because they receive institutional backing. Conspiracy proponents post on social media claiming a staged assassination attempt. Other conspiracy proponents on TV debate whether Trump’s ear was hit by shattered glass and voice suspicions about how fast his ear healed. This should not be surprising given the many years the media and members of Congress kept promoting the Russian collusion hoax.
Although the media narrative is that conservatives are the ones believing most conspiracy theories, that is not what some of the latest polls have discovered. One poll found twice as many Democrats as Republicans believed “the Holocaust is a myth.” Previous polls have also discovered that Democrats are more likely to be 9/11 “Truthers.”
It turns out that some of the most damaging misinformation is coming from BlueAnon.
