SynopsisThe Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021, shocked the world, but award-winning journalist and CNN correspondent Elle Reeve was not surprised. She moved calmly through the crowd of Trump flag-waving rioters, documenting it all. Years of on-the-ground investigative reporting-including from the torchlit "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville in 2017-took Reeve on a surreal journey from the darkest corners of the internet, where tar-right politics and conspiracy theories like QAnon festered, to the most significant and chilling scene of real-world political violence in generations. It started as a joke, and then it became real: This was how many of Reeve's sources evolved from regular people who shared memes on the internet into radicals who talked themselves into participating in the violence on display at Charlottesville and at the Capitol. With a sharp eye for detail and a dash of dark humor, Reeve draws on countless interviews with sources in the white nationalist movement as well as hundreds of as-yet-unseen documents to explain the origins of our current political moment, including the reelection of Donald Trump. A stranger-than-fiction odyssey into the dark heart of American politics, Black Pill is necessary reading for our modern era., This tour de force of investigative journalism--in the vein of The Next Civil War and Why We're Polarized --reveals how the battle between the right and left is spilling out from the darkest corners of the internet into the real world with often tragic consequences. Award-winning journalist and CNN correspondent Elle Reeve was not surprised by the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. With years of in-depth research and on-the-ground investigative reporting under her belt, Reeve was aware of the preoccupations of the online far right and their journey from the computer to QAnon, militias, and racist groups. At the same time, Reeve saw a parallel growth of counterforces, with citizen vigilantes using new tools and tactics to take down the far right. This ongoing battle, long fought mainly on the internet, had arrived in the real world with greater and greater frequency. With a sharp eye for detail and a dash of dark humor, Reeve explains the origins of this shocking sweep of political violence. Drawing on countless interviews with sources in the white nationalist movement as well as hundreds of as-yet-unseen documents, she takes us on a surreal journey from the darkest corners of the internet to the most significant and chilling scenes of real-world political violence in generations. A stranger-than-fiction odyssey into the dark heart of what American politics has become, Black Pill is necessary reading for any supporter of democracy.
