Where do you get the idea that it's 'self evident'?
If things were 'self evident' we wouldn't need a Q to point them out to us.
The trick to this cult is that the people (including you) are being pointed in the right direction and looking and thinking for ourselves. And 'connecting dots' using our superior cult brains.
'Unverified surmises', you say?
Au contraire, mon frere. Since the Qanon program is a White House sponsored information sharing 'official leak' machine and psyop, then the fact that 'Q' says a thing is verification.
Or did you need CNN to confirm?
Do you think Q is a LARP or something?
you are welcome to believe whatever you want to, but unsupported notions based on cult think which in turn is based on guesses as to what an anonymous source actually means while speaking in code is thin gruel on which to base anything meaningful. no sale.
