Fellowship Report: We Take Our House Back! Containing the fringe conspiracy movement in the U.S.

Abstract:
"The purpose of this policy-oriented report is to explore possible damage control strategies after anti-government, identity-based fringe conspiracy theories have successfully penetrated public debate and mainstream politics as consolidated conspiracy movements. The focus lies on conspiracies rejecting the political status quo in Germany and the United States, such as questioning election results (QAnon) and the legality of government (Reichsbürger, Querdenken). Based on the American experiences, embracing its unique institutional, systemic, and cultural settings, it will conclude by identifying best practices and producing practice-oriented, evidence-based policy recommendations for possible application in Germany and beyond."
