Operation Mindfuck, QAnon, and the Cult of Donald Trump

Operation Mindfuck, QAnon, and the Cult of Donald Trump is a work by Robert Guffey analyzing the rise and mechanics of contemporary conspiracy movements, including QAnon, and their intersections with politics and media.

The book explores how disinformation, mythmaking, and performative conspiracism have shaped public discourse during and after the Trump era.

Guffey draws on cultural history, case studies, and his long engagement with conspiracy subcultures to trace continuities from earlier occult and synchronicity movements to modern digital conspiracies.

The book situates these phenomena within broader trends in American culture, including psychological warfare tactics and entertainment's role in shaping belief.

It offers both critique and cultural analysis aimed at understanding why such movements resonate.
