On today's episode, I am joined by Noelle Cook, an ethnographer and author of The Conspiracists: Women, Extremism, and the Lure of Belonging, which explores the stories of two middle-aged white women in America, Tammy and Yvonne, and the psychosocial influences that led them down the path of QAnon conspiracy theories and insurrection at the Capitol on January 6. We discuss how identity, social media, and trauma informed their worldview, and learn about their take on Trump during the Epstein Investigation.
