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.$7Generated by AI. 606 $aCapitol Riot, Washington, D.C., 2021$7Generated by AI 606 $aConspiracy theories$7Generated by AI 615 0$aCapitol Riot, Washington, D.C., 2021 615 0$aConspiracy theories 676 $a973.933 700 $aShort$b John Rennie$0129745 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910985631103321 996 $aInsurrection$94334713 997 $aUNINA
