Think about this...Thousands of us QAnons have learned so much about how our government has functioned and how it should function.
For example, I have a heavy background in criminal law (although not a lawyer..always gotta put that disclaimer in there) and I am getting my civil law education here.
I am also a big big fan of history. And research. And snark. All my educational needs are being met here. My critical thinking skills are being reengaged, after 8 years of ignoring Washington. There was nothing to see there, so I moved on. I don't always agree with some conclusions, but that's part of critical thinking.
So, yes, there are puzzles to solve, and information to be shared. How in the hockey sticks can that be bad?
And as for “Who is Q?” I don't care! All I need to know is that our President is in on the op. I'm good with that.
If I was writing a paper on Q I wouldn’t be using these threads to gather information from..nor the dynamics of the participants.
