A riveting tour through the landscape and meaning of modern conspiracy theories, exploring the causes and tenacity of this American malady, from Birthers to Pizzagate and beyond
American society has always been fertile ground for conspiracy theories, but with the election of Donald Trump, previously outlandish ideas suddenly attained legitimacy. Trump himself is a conspiracy enthusiast: from his claim that global warming is a Chinese hoax to the accusations of "fake news," he has fanned the flames of suspicion. But it was not by the power of one man alone that these ideas gained new power. Republic of Lies looks beyond the caricatures of conspiracy theorists to explain their tenacity. Without lending the theories validity, Anna Merlan gives a nuanced, sympathetic account of the people behind them, across the political spectrum, and the circumstances that helped them take hold. The lack of a social safety net, inadequate education, bitter culture wars, and years of economic insecurity have created large groups of people who feel forgotten by their government and even besieged by it. Our contemporary conditions are a perfect petri dish for conspiracy movements: a durable, permanent, elastic climate of alienation and resentment. All the while, an army of politicians and conspiracy-peddlers has fanned the flames of suspicion to serve their own ends. Bringing together penetrating historical analysis and gripping on-the-ground reporting, Republic of Lies transforms our understanding of American paranoia.Binding Type: Paperback

Nice casual looking sweater
Size: Small, Color: Pure Black
I purchased the black/cream inset sweater in a small. I usually wear a small. I fits loose, but NOT baggy. I like the loose fit. The sweater feels so soft. Nice looking sweater. Very happy with the sweater, but could have ordered a medium for a boxier fit.

Good quality & trendy color sweater
Size: Large, Color: Pure Apricot
This sweater is very soft, light and very suitable for keeping mild warm at the temperature of 20c or inside an air conditioning room. Particularly, the trendy color for 2026 in brown suede jacket, this sweater is real good matching item! I like it! 😍😍😍

LOVE. Ordering more colors.
Size: Medium, Color: Porpoise, Size: Medium, Color: Porpoise
I absolutely LOVE this sweater.
This sweater is so flattering and comfortable. Great quality and the material is cozy and soft. I will be ordering this in more colors for sure! I just got it today but I know this will be my go to this season for lounging as well as being out and about. It could easily be dressed up or down and I love the Porpoise color I got (see photos). Originally I thought this came in a set but I still thinks its worth the price for just the sweater and I plan to order the shorts anyway. I got the medium and it fit true to size and so flattering. I am 5ft 2 and about 140lbs being heavier in my legs/hips. I generally wear a small/medium on top depending on the style and a large/XL on bottom. Definitely will be getting more colors!!
