How Conspiracies Drive Left-Wing Narratives

“Encouraging suspicion and skepticism about our governing norms is now a Blue Anon specialty.”

– The Rise of BlueAnon

Tim Kaine, Senator from the state of Virginia, recently ridiculed the idea that Americans’ rights come from God, and not from the government.  Sure, the Declaration of Independence might opine about our inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but nothing is guaranteed until it is enshrined in law.  But Kaine’s ideas are counter to not only our Founding documents, but they also fail to acknowledge that the role of government is nothing more than to secure these rights that cannot be revoked by man or government.  And if government fails to secure these rights, or otherwise runs amok, it is the duty of the people to alter or abolish that very government.    

In Dave Harsanyi’s 2024 book, “The Rise of BlueAnon”, Harsanyi outlines the many Democrat Party conspiracy theories employed to advance an oppressor/victim prism to keep their tribe agitated.  Dubbed BlueAnon, in accordance with the right-wing conspiracies of QAnon, the Democrat version is presented as much more mainstream by using legacy media to promote the lies.  Like all conspiracies, the beauty is in the inability to prove or disprove its authenticity. 

One of the first conspiracies of the Trump Era was the Russia! Russia! Russia! Claims that Trump was a Russian asset and that Russia's interference in the 2016 election led to Trump’s victory.   In fact, more Democrats believe the 2016 election was stolen than Republicans, who believe that the 2020 election was full of fraud.  Then, while Democrats' claims of Russian collusion following the 2016 elections were presented as fact by a compliant media, the 2020 assertions by Republicans were coined “the Big Lie”. 

Added to election denialism, which democrats have used in every election loss in the 21^st century, are rampant claims of imaginary voter suppression made even worse by the antiquated electoral college, which far too often denies democrats of election wins.  While voter suppression has yet to be validated, claims against the Electoral College act to undermine constitutional legitimacy.  Add lawfare and the weaponization of federal departments under the Biden administration, and you will see that Democrats have little regard for the Constitution and its founding principles. 

Accusations that the GOP is full of racist, white supremacist, white nationalists, and fascists, while Trump is literal Hitler, are also not new.   Such claims by democrats go all the way back to the 1960s and Barry Goldwater, before advancing similar claims about Bush, Romney, McCain, Trump, and DeSantis.  This dishonest rhetoric and more led to two assassination attempts against Trump in 2024, and the political assassination of Charlie Kirk in September of 2025. 

Another BlueAnon conspiracy theory is the rampant claims of right-wing violence and terrorism.  Despite the tired narrative of January 6 and Charlottesville as right-wing terrorism, the balance sheet against left-wing violence shows the true picture.  The Tea Party that began in 2008 was non-violent, while Antifa, BLM, the Free Palestine movement, and the most recent addition, Trantifa, are not.  With Democracy at stake, using the phrase, by any means possible, meant that left-wing violence was always on the table.  

Other BlueAnon conspiracies include climate change as an existential threat, despite every claim coming up empty, which only proves the Democrat inclusion of pseudoscience to advance their lies.  Next, they claim book bans that don’t exist (i.e., books deemed inappropriate for grade schools can still be bought anywhere in the state), that the GOP is misogynistic, leading to a patriarchal society like The Handmaid’s Tale, and even far-out claims that Trump staged his own assassination attempts. 

When all else fails, Democrats' default position is to advance socialism to address inequality, promoting capitalism as a zero-sum game, where when one gains, another must lose.

BlueAnon is primarily a cover for the Democrats' lack of principles, ideas, and their inability to debate differences.  Unsurprisingly, at the core of BlueAnon is the very authoritarianism they condemn.
