It seems like lies and conspiracies have become prolific in our politics. So much so, that we even have candidates running for public office now who believe in what can only be described as insane and unhinged theories about satanic cults running the government. This conspiracy, named “Q Anon,” has become a growing force, particularly among the far right.
Recent polling shows that as many as half of Republican voters believe some variation of the Q Anon conspiracy, while prominent candidates like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Burgess Owens help legitimize and promote these false, crazy conspiracies. How can our national politics survive when conspiracies overtake logic and facts in our politics and elections?
To help fight back against the spread of conspiracy, Stand Up Republic Executive Directors Evan McMullin and Mindy Finn talked to Republican Congressman and former intelligence officer Denver Riggleman about the threat of Q Anon - and other conspiracy theories - to our democracy. If you missed out on this important and enlightening conversation, you can watch the replay here.

Watch our discussion with Congressman Riggleman [[link removed]]
Too many people are willing to bank their political career on silence in the face of dangerous, delusional conspiracy theories. It’s a widespread problem that’s only getting worse through the indifference - and sometimes open encouragement - of prominent party officials, including President Donald Trump himself. Congressman Riggleman has some harsh words for those who would trade the truth for a little power, and you won’t want to miss it.
Watch our conversation with Congressman Riggleman now, and if you know someone who is curious about the Q Anon conspiracy, share the video with them too. We all have to do our part to fight against lies and conspiracy theories. We are the first and last defense of our democratic republic.
Sincerely,
Stand Up Republic
