Episode 011. Diane Benscoter, Mike Rothschild and Janja Lalich: On the Cult of QAnon

In the wake of a sudden resurrection of QAnon in Trump’s midterm election campaigns, Kim revisits the haunting investigation into the cult-like political group from episode 4 of American Propaganda. What role did QAnon play in the January 6th insurrection? How did so many fall prey to this bizarre cult-like phenomenon? As she seeks answers to these questions, Kim interviews cult experts and deprogrammers (including a former member of the Moonies) and learns about the psychological manipulation methods, cult leaders use to keep a tight grip on their followers.
