Don't Blame a Lack of Education — QAnon Proves Privileged White People Are Losing Their Minds Too
In the weeks after Donald Trump sent a violent mob to rampage the U.S. Capitol on January 6, a lot of focus has risen on the role played by QAnon and other lurid conspiracy theories in radicalizing Republicans. Unfortunately, a lot of that discourse has centered around the idea that QAnon and similar conspiracy theories are the result of poor education or economic stress. Blame it on years of misleading media coverage misattributing the rise of Trumpism on "economic anxiety." Sadly, even Democratic leadership has slipped up and drawn a false equation between educational privilege and immunity to QAnon-style conspiracy theories.
"They can do QAnon, or they can do college-educated voters. They cannot do both," Sean Patrick Maloney of New York, the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, told Politico in an interview published Tuesday.
Maloney is spearheading the move to make Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a newly-elected Republican from Georgia, the face of the GOP, complete with her love of violent threats against Democrats and conspiracy theories about fake school shootings and space Jews with laser beams. So far, the strategy has been effective, as the Republican minority in the House voted against removing Greene from her committees and . Politically and ethically, it's a smart move for Democrats, because it helps highlight for voters that the nutty faction has completely consumed the Republican Party and the supposed "reasonable adults" are non-existent.
