Convoluted and laughably implausible conspiracy theories, such as QAnon and Pizzagate, have long been part of Donald Trump’s playbook, and his administration’s notorious disregard for facts has resulted in wildly misinformed policy and discourse. His recent refusal to reveal the Jeffery Epstein client list, however, has infuriated many of his most loyal supporters and sent his MAGA influencers scrambling for cover.
What dynamics are behind the widespread beliefs in conspiracy theories? Why do many fall for it? Is there truth to be found at the bottom of the rabbit holes? And, most importantly, how do these ideas affect the political struggle for democracy and justice? Tune in to find out!

The Communist Party USA is a revolutionary working-class political party founded in 1919 in Chicago, IL.
The Communist Party stands for the interests of the American working class and the American people. It stands for our interests in both the present and the future. Solidarity with workers of other countries is also part of our work. We work in coalition with the labor movement, the peace movement, the student movement, organizations fighting for equality and social justice, the environmental movement, immigrants rights groups and the health care for all campaign.
But to win a better life for working families, we believe that we must go further. We believe that the American people can replace capitalism with a system that puts people before profit — socialism.
We are rooted in our country's revolutionary history and its struggles for democracy. We call for "Bill of Rights" socialism, guaranteeing full individual freedoms.
