Interesting theory. More likely answer is that it was a prank on 4chan that expanded as more people assumed the role of Q. It’s possible it was a single person, but far more likely basement dwellers using a Discord server to come up with the next Q posting to have everyone on the edge of their seats.
Trust the plan... The whole thing seems like it was run by someone who took a cults class and led a bunch of people around by the nose.
Does anyone remember DITHF? Deep in the Hurtgen Forest? They strung many people along back in the early years.
A long time ago when Q started to take hold, There was a guy on 4 chan who knew who it was, had all the evidence needed but he was attacked by all the Q followers who refused to believe him........
