Like the Left, the Right has a fringe problem. Except now, certain fringe actors are becoming mainstream, and President Trump shares part of the blame.
First, the president endorsed Marjorie Taylor Greene, a conspiracy theorist who won her primary in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District earlier this month. Greene has voiced support for the QAnon conspiracy theory, held to by a bizarre strain of Trump supporters who believe the president is engaged in an underground war against a pedophile cabal in the Democratic Party, Hollywood, and the Deep State. They even believe Trump plans to mass-arrest his political opponents, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and imprison them in Guantanamo Bay. According to some QAnon believers, that’s where John McCain, who died of cancer in 2018, is now.
