It is classic magic or hypnotism as Scott Adams called it. We are all, most of us anyway, playing along, guessing clues, making connections, looking up the incompent loudmothed adult children of influential parents (the list grows and grows and grows until one wonders if anyone in DC or the media got his job through merit).
Persuade us of the picture. No one has to convince us of anything. We play along. We look for clues, search the internet. We discover Mr. Plum did in the library with the knife AND Colonel Mustard did it in the conervatory with a lead pipe AND trannies White and Green were doing each other in the parlor.
It has changed how we look at the world. Trust the FBI, DOJ? It will be 10 years before we take at face value the next words that come out of their spokespeople's mouths. The media - HA! liars all of them all the way around - and no those on the right you don't get a free pass either.
CIA will take 30 years - if they are not used to fill the potholes in DC - to wear off the clowns in America label.
Why? Q or no Q the picture is way too credible. Too many facts fall into place. That which is seen cannot be unseen.
In essence, the entire Q persona may very well be a bit of a farce, but the movement it creates is real?
