Episode Synopsis

How does QAnon evolve after President Biden's inauguration? What does the GOP's embrace of QAnon supporters mean for the future of the party? How did YouTube's algorithm change in 2014 create a community of pseudo-experts that altered objective reality? Jamie and Josh explore how a lack of agency is central to conspiracy theories, the commodification of extremism and nostalgia, and the fictions that bookend the last half-decade of electoral politics in the United States.
