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

You guys sound lost in your own little worlds.

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

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.

Yes, just like they’re believe asking questions means they’re proving their conspiracies.

The Dems on the committee are not really asking questions. They are saying “don’t look behind door number because it’s a waste of time and let’s work together” The only Dem that asked questions didn’t want the answer. She kept stating the answer she wanted to hear as a way to try and influence the American people. It was transparent and not at all clever and the witness chewed her up and spit her out.

I know an ex-coworker who went Q. High school education. From a very religious family, who aren't so much evangelical as prophetic, ie, modern-day MEN sharing their visions, apocalypse is likely already in progress. Women aren't allowed to be church leaders. Faithfully listen to podcasts from prophets in Canaan, because prophets in the promised land carry more weight than those in Virginia, amirite?
It started as "I don't need to fear death, God will protect me or take me to heaven" which became "Masks are the mark of the beast" which became "Save the Children" then " I won't get the jab" . Right now, it's at "Why are the schools trying to shame white people? I am white and proud"
And she still works in healthcare administration....

My parents have gone so far to the right that they don't think FOX News is right wing anymore. I'm not kidding.

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

The closest to "mainstream" would be OANN and Newsmax, who went whole hog on the QAnon "eLEcTiON wUz StOLeN" crap

They routinely hosted QAnon ringleaders like General Flynn and Sidney Powell.

Well and Donald Trump, Fox News and many members of Congress etc.

No. We know the difference.

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.

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/

And yet it is the GOP that wants to protect underage marriage (see Wyoming for example) and it is the GOP that separated kids from their families and "lost them" into a maze of Evangelical Christian academies and it is predominantly GOP leaning white males who traffic in underage porn etc.

Projection at its finest.

UGH 17 families that I know of that I thought we were friends.

This is fascinating, but I also extend my sympathies. The last several years have been eye-opening, and not in a good way, about people I believed I knew well.

What's the common thread/what do they believe?

You guys sound lost in your own little worlds.

Either you are a QAnon flunkie, or you are in the real world. Who are the "you guys" you are addressing?

Which Holy Cross are we talking about?

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."

There you go again. Lies. You cannot truthfully say that “covid vaccines don’t prevent infections”. That is pure anti vax propaganda. Why wouldn’t you even bother to check the facts behind your claim? There is clear data that proves the vaccine reduces transmission.

+!

Worse, how many people like that anti vaxxer think they’re sensible? How mainstream are those ideas among right wingers? (And they try to “both sides” it!!)
