Do you know anyone who went Q?

Ok, what outlets are repeating Qanon things, and what is an IO?

No. We know the difference.

DP.

It seems like many of the responders are super paranoid about some minuscule fringe group out there.

It’s like some of the moms I know, who are terrified a cult will kidnap their daughter when she goes off to college.

There is always someone on every Q thread that insists that it's some fringe movement that the majority of people have never heard of.

Where is all this info being dispersed?

Trump himself is pushing out/“retruthing” QAnon content now.

If you’re familiar with QAnon crazy theories, you’d see it has bled into mainstream, conservative media. Plenty of people deny knowing about Q, but then spout some version of their nonsense conspiracies.

All of the families besides us. UGH Their FB posts make me physically ill. High families of Holy Cross. Oh yes I am calling you out on social media I am so mad. Ugh.

My son's best friend's mother and that boy's MIL omg educated Federal contractors both of them. One worked for National Security projects she's a nutcase cult member. Went to jan 6th. They both post on FB like crazy. Both Graduates of Georgetown super bright women. On has her own website on "election lies" Like I said nuts both of them. Not living in reality at all.

All of them go to the same Church in Potomac which is scary.

And it is not evangelical it is Catholic.

I can tell a similar story about some people I know in NOVA. Catholic, well-educated, High SES - and have totally gone off the deep end. They know I'm not "one of them" so they've frozen me out, but some of them used to be good friends. Ran into a few of them in Starbucks recently and I felt a little like the one woman in the "Stepford Wives" who wasn't a robot.

Super scary

+1 Q has been so mainstreamed in the GOP that it doesn’t even register as “Q” to some of them anymore; it’s just the GOP now.

You sound eager to pretend that your party isn’t full of people who have completely lost the plot and openly espouse conspiracy theories.

A) Unreasonable paranoia about child trafficking is what brought a lot of people, particularly women, into QAnon
B) A poll taken a year ago found that that nearly one in five Americans (16%) and one in four Republicans are QAnon believers https://www.prri.org/press-release/new-prri-report-reveals-nearly-one-in-five-americans-and-one-in-four-republicans-still-believe-in-qanon-conspiracy-theories/

Watched the hearings on CNN - both Twitter and DOJ. Every democrat did two things in both - said “there’s nothing to see here, we are wasting time, let’s work together’ and almost all questions were directed at the leftist on the panel who was the minority. Without fail. When someone tells me there’s nothing to see here, there’s usually something to see.

Maybe in some ways but in other ways it is very different

It started during pandemic when people were isolated and fed on insecurities of people scared by both COVID and new vaccines. Most of the posts were created by a small number of people and they gradually expanded their anti vax propaganda to broader government conspiracy aided by Big Pharma and big Tech theories. Facebook was shown to disproportionately gove platform to Q Anon nonsense though they used other social media platforms as well.

They also spread a lot of lies about fact check non profits so that you could never provide them with factual
Information they would actually trust

Q started before the pandemic.

She started going to Trump rallies, posting crazy stuff on social media, was completely convinced about the pedo ring, Biden stole the election, you name it. She also was at the January 6th march but I don’t know if she went inside the Capital. She’s cut ties with everyone who used to know her that doesn’t share her craziness. It’s very sad.

Where is Epstein’s list? I think if they released the names, people would be less, um, paranoid?

What does Epstein have to do with this?

Epstein’s underage girls and the people on the list who took advantage of them. All the women who came forward about Weinstein. All the child actors, now adult, coming forward about pedophilia in the industry. I don’t think pedophilia on the left is a Q fantasy.

What about the right wing religious cults, Baptists, etc? Pedophilia isn't political. Give me a break.

I see it differently. It’s pretty obvious, for instance, the vaccines are not doing the job people were told they’d do, and that they have affected the menstrual systems and caused damage in young males (especially), and that people were lied to about both those things. That’s been documented in the Pfizer papers. People who believed full-on (i.e. didn’t have a healthy dose of skepticism) now feel kind of foolish, so the mind finds a way to protect itself, and part of that is the absolute arrogance you see in this thread.

That's not my experience. I dont ever discuss vaccines IRL because to this day, if you say things like "the vaccine doesnt prevent transmission" or "masks are marginally effective, if at all" then you are an evil anti-vaxxer. The science never really mattered, the dogma on [yes BOTH SIDES] dominates thinking on the issue.

You get that reaction because you are speaking flat out lies. You are spreading anti vax misinformation.

This is what Im talking about. The truth (that covid vaccines dont prevent transmission, and that the most reliable studies show masks have little to no effect on transmissions) is considered "anti-vax."

Found one!

The common thread that ties you guys together is faulty logic. Your statement is obviously wrong. If it were true then any false accusation would always be deemed true once someone denies or defends against it. It’s a trap.
