QAnon believers grapple with doubt, spin new theories as Trump era ends: 'We all got played'
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | Jan. 20, 2021 | Drew Harwell and Craig Timberg

I ran into a group of Qtards at a Trump rally last year. I love ‘em to death and I’d want them in a foxhole next to me ... but I swear those people are bat-sh!it crazy.

Sounds like they’re not trusting the plan.

I never believed it either. Promising arrests every other week but nothing happened. I will say it was crazy when they were spooking the hell out of Avenatti.

People who believe in hidden plans and convoluted conspiracies really need to acquaint themselves with William of Occam.

I’ve never understood exactly what Q was; except that it seemed darn juvenile.

Well, it didn't seem to make a lot of sense.

Trump more or less made fun of it himself, when he said he liked that they supported him. Meaning he didn't see anything there besides that.

Yet there are still true believers posting here on Free Republic. I question why we are so tolerant of an enemy psyops campaign being waged on this site.

Someone told me about ‘Operation Trust’ many years ago. It’s always remained in the back of my mind.

Q is a brief amusement sometimes when I want to see how theories can be spun from random facts.

It was all made up nonsense from the very beginning. And its distractions are one of the reasons we are in the situation we are now.
