It delves into the erosion of trust in government, democratic deficits, and the normalization of extreme political ideas. The author analyzes both long-term processes, such as growing polarization and a legitimation crisis, and short-term events, including the COVID-19 pandemic and social unrest. The narrative seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the insurrection's roots, highlighting the influence of conspiracy theories, the cult of violence in American history, and the unique political dynamics of Washington, D.C. The book is aimed at readers interested in contemporary American politics and history.Generated by AI.Capitol Riot, Washington, D.C., 2021Generated by AIConspiracy theoriesGenerated by AICapitol Riot, Washington, D.C., 2021Conspiracy theories973.933Short John Rennie129745MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910985631103321Insurrection4334713UNINA
