被称为“披萨门”的阴谋论在另类右翼论坛上获得了狂热的追随者，最终促使一名信徒对网络阴谋者指认的披萨店进行了枪击。对这一时间框架内从五个关键干预点中选择的767条提到Pizzagate的推文进行了主题分析，揭示了影响Pizzagate在四年内持续吸引力的几个因素。这篇文章探讨了网络另类右翼阴谋集团QAnon如何将Pizzagate武器化，作为其为唐纳德·特朗普总统吸引支持的总体竞选活动的一部分，并努力将这一理论确立为当代政治时代思潮中的一种流行(尽管是错误的)叙事。
The conspiracy theory known as 'Pizzagate' gained a cult following on alt-right forums, ultimately prompting one believer to conduct a shooting on the pizzeria identified by online conspiracists. A thematic analysis of 767 tweets referencing Pizzagate selected from five key intervention points in this timeframe reveals several factors influencing Pizzagate's continued appeal over a four-year period. The article examines how an online alt-right conspiracy collective, QAnon, weaponized Pizzagate as part of its overarching campaign to attract support for President Donald Trump and worked to establish the theory as a popular (albeit false) narrative within the contemporary political zeitgeist.
