Confused about #QAnon? "Q is an intelligence or military insider with proof that corrupt world leaders are secretly torturing children all over the world; the malefactors are embedded in the deep state; Donald Trump

In brief, Q crazies think our lives are controlled by plots hatched in secret places. "Democracy" is a myth; a small group of people run everything, but "they" are unknown. Major events happen because "they"are working against the rest of us.
Q crazies contradict each other regularly. But they draw on long traditions of apocalyptic thinking, or faith- they often use evangelical Christian language. They also see themselves as victim-warriors fighting back, and hate "mainstream elites."

" #QAnon is a menace. Ignoring it isn’t an option." By the @washingtonpost editorial board. I agree and Trump is actively encouraging these conspiracies. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/qanon-is-a-menace-ignoring-it-isnt-an-option/2020/08/16/6d42a14a-de62-11ea-809e-b8be57ba616e_story.html">https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/...
