QAnon: After the Storm?
It's been a year since the mobilising power of a conspiracy theory nearly brought American democracy to its knees. Stephanie Hegarty has travelled to the US to investigate.
It's been a year since the mobilising power of a conspiracy theory nearly brought American democracy to its knees, when a coalition of extremists attacked the Capitol building in Washington DC, convinced that the US election was rigged. At the heart of that conviction was QAnon. In 2020 the 麻豆社's Stephanie Hegarty reported on the dramatic rise of this vast conspiracy during the pandemic. A year on from the attack on the Capitol she has travelled to the US to meet some of those who still believe in the conspiracy. With a new president in power, QAnon's shadowy leader Q no longer posting online and the movement all but banned from social media - why are some people still held in the grip of this conspiracy?
