Weapons of Mass Delusion

In Weapons of Mass Delusion, Robert Draper provides a compelling eyewitness account of a remarkable shift within the Republican Party, led by figures such as Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz, who have increasingly embraced conspiracy theories and heightened political hysteria in the wake of the January 6 insurrection. Through extensive reporting across pivotal states, Draper illustrates how these dynamics have pushed the party further from traditional norms and challenged the foundations of American democracy. As the GOP grapples with the influence of demagogues and a base fueled by outrage, Draper captures the precarious state of truth in politics on the eve of the 2022 midterm elections.
