I shit you not, that is these people’s world view. And they grow angrier and angrier every day that Jeff Sessions hasn’t arrested anyone yet.

Which is why I said, someone will get killed.

That's the main appeal of the Q conspiracy, though. They were promised that these people would be going to jail, and they haven't gone to jail. Q placates them by saying they've all already been secretly arrested and the announcements haven't come because they're still arresting more of them. It is the only way the people who believe in Pizzagate and the like can rationalize saying that Trump is still winning.

Like most things, it's the small kernels of truth peppered in with the majority batshit insanity that allows things like this to grow.

Q?

Isn't that the guy from Stat Trek Next Generation?

Now he's turning up at Trump rallies . . .

Man's got a poor sense of recreation.

No, no. Wrong Q. This group is lead by MI6's quartermaster.

No,

Its this guy...



or was it this guy...

Oh, look who's joined the script...

The hacking collective Anonymous is pledging to expose the people behind the "QAnon" conspiracy theory.

The anarchist hacking group slammed the QAnon conspiracy as potentially dangerous and driven by a “brainless political agenda” in a video posted Sunday to what is widely considered the most reliable Anonymous Twitter account.

“We will not sit idly by while you take advantage of the misinformed and poorly educated,” the group said in the video, which was posted with the hashtags #OpQ and #OpQAnon.

I wonder how this would go down, if they're successful.

Good. Squash them before they can do further damage.

Coming from Buzzfeed, who knows if this has any credibility. But I really hope it doesn't, because these kind of "pranks" only serve to bolster paranoia and consolidation among the far right.

Well, they are right that this whole Q mess, whatever it is or whoever started it, is bullshit and pretty lame. But yeah, whether it's a genuine right-wing conspiracy group or people trolling the right, neither option is good.

I think the next administration that takes office should take heavy duty steps to stop these online conspiracies and troll accounts and whatnot from festering online. Obviously that would be a thorny as hell issue to navigate, let alone regulate, 'cause First Amendment issues and all, but seriously, something really needs to be done to crack down on this kind of nonsense.

Okay, they look silly and have quite an uphill battle in making a convincing case, but...

It also looks hysterical to suggest lives are at stake as a result of Trump apologetics gone full tin foil with Alex Jones types that we all knew existed.

I would not lump them in with neo-Nazis and Antifa, and anticipate another Charlottesville catastrophe without proof that they would substantially resort to violence to make their point or to shut down dissent.

The guy who started the California fire(s) was a complete fucking conspiracy nut. He literally believed every single conspiracy that's come out. Pizzagate, Q, some weird one about a fake government being installed in 1877 and the real government is trying to take back control....

Another man showed up at Micheal Avanttis office with a weapon because of a post he read claiming the lawyer had something to do with child sex rings

Another man, a truck driver, blocked access over a dam and wouldn't move until the government released some "report" because of some bullshit Q post.

A family that was affected by Newtown has had to move 5-7 times due to harrassment and death threats due to InfoWars claiming they were actors, and the shooting was staged.

And of course there was the man who went into the pizza parlor with a automatic rifle because of the pizzagate

You have a nation of armed citizens who believe whatever they want, and these conspiracies fuel these people even more

I say someone will be killed, because we’ve already seen people showing up with guns to pizza parlors or looking for the pedo camp. Every day I see these individuals get angrier and angrier that no one has been locked up yet. It’s just a matter of time before someone takes justice into their own hands and start hunting pedos. This is the worst crime known to man and Sessions isn’t doing a damn thing. I follow a lot of them on Twitter, I’m not saying this lightly, I honestly see some of these folks about to boil over.

If you believe it's even possible to make a "convincing case" here then nothing that comes after this statement is worth reading.
