Yes. Because there are a large number of gullible people who are falling for this. Consider it a public service. Have you considered why the Veep said conspiracy, Trump said never thought about it, and then this guy saying it’s a waste of time?Have you ever considered why the media is devoting so much time to reporting on and debunking nonsense?

Do you know how many documentaries are devoted to cults? Fascinating subject. These movements directly fill a hole/desire for the innate human need for comfort in the face of fear, uncertainty, and the knowledge of our own impending death. This leads some folk to seek out any drivel that may soothe our anxieties.--see most of the world's religions. This is Psyche 101. Your just anxious---and probably, at times, for good reason.---Too much news ---too much infotainment. Get off the dopamine hamster wheel.
"QAnon fulfills a very understandable need to make sense of the torrents of news we are inundated with, free from any context, daily.
QAnon does this in a manner that is startlingly similar to a news-obsessed strain of Christian theology called premillennial dispensationalism, which takes metaphorical passages in the Bible and tries to decode them into both individual prophecies that refer directly to current events, as well as a larger meta-prophecy ending in the Rapture of believers to heaven, the coming of the Antichrist, and the battle of Armageddon..."

Channeling their inner conservative.... Not. Liberals and conservatives think differently. What my sister, the liberal, comes up with for logic... Boggles my mind.
My Daughter is far left liberal, graduated and got her Masters from the Liberal Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. We can't talk about politics, but she slips in some stuff whenever she can. She lives in Illinois and always saying how Republicans destroyed the state. I say, "but Hon they have not had Republican Governor in years." She says, "yea they are still is trying clean the mess the last Republican Gov left the state."
I just shake my head....lol
I know nothing about Illinois, but the last Republican governor was Bruce Rauner from 2015-2019.My Daughter is far left liberal, graduated and got her Masters from the Liberal Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.

They also had 3 Republican governors from 1977-2003.
The Chicago political machine is infamous, but not sure what relationship if any it has to the governor of Illinois.
QAnon supporter, 30 is charged with DWI and assault for chasing two motorists she thought were pedophiles - including a mom with a young daughter in her truck
A Texas woman with suspected ties to the notorious QAnon conspiracy theory has been arrested after allegedly chasing at least two vehicles and repeatedly ramming one of them because she believed there was a pedophile inside who had kidnapped a girl.

Cecilia Fulbright, 30, from Waco, was booked into jail on August 12 on charges of driving while intoxicated and aggravated assault.
According to an arrest affidavit obtained by Waco Tribune-Herald, the bizarre incident began unfolding at around 9.20am when the driver of a catering truck called 911 to report that a small red car had chased her vehicle carrying her young daughter, but they had managed to get away unharmed.
About 20 minutes later, a second call came in, this one from a 19-year-old college student, saying that a red car matching the description of the vehicle from the first call was chasing her.
The caller said the driver of the red car, later identified as Fulbright, rammed her Dodge Caravan multiple times before she pulled into an H-E-B parking lot on 19th Street
'Ms. Fulbright pursued [the driver] through the parking lot striking her again and an uninvolved Dodge Durango before Ms. Fulbright crashed into a cement pylon at the gas pumps,' the affidavit stated.
Police officers who responded to the scene found Fulbright 'crying hysterically' in her car and yelling that the other driver 'was a pedophile and had kidnapped a girl for human trafficking.'
Fulbright reportedly confessed to ramming the Dodge Caravan because she believed she was saving a child from a pedophile she had been following, but her account 'did not match the timeline or any facts or evidence,' according to the affidavit.
Fulbright was described as seeming 'delusional' and drunk, and a breath test confirmed that her blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit in Texas, the document stated. The 30-year-old reportedly confessed to consuming at least one beer.
Fulbright was released from McLennan County Jail on Thursday after posting $11,000 bond.

Well, while you guys we're chasing down the ghosts and boogeymen hiding in the caves and deserts of the Middle East, and while you allowed "croney" capitalism (not real capitalism) to run wild in 2001 and 2008, education about enemies foreign and "domestic" and capitalism were ignored.I have a Bernie/E. Warren socialist aunt & my sister-in-law is a 23 year old Bernie/Tik Tok lover. It’s crazy to see two generations of socialists. It’s actually dangerous that socialism and communism appear to be gaining ground in this country.
