How Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene compete for QAnon followers

The QAnon movement that emerged with the rise of Trumpism has been marked by a great fluidity, morphing as events dictate. It draws on old antisemitic conspiracy theories and more recent moral panics and has inspired quite a bit of deadly violence, but its inherent goofiness made many people slow to recognize the dangers it poses. 

This week, we are joined by one reporter who has been covering QAnon since its inception, Will Sommer from The Daily Beast. Sommer is the author of Trust the Plan: The Rise of QAnon and the Conspiracy That Unhinged America. Will tells us about QAnon's roots, how it has adapted to Trump's loss and what new permutations might change this reactionary movement going forward.
