“So it’s more like an addictive drug”

An appropriate metaphor. It feels good to be an insider, to share inside jokes, have the insider language, have common enemies, etc. I won’t call it a cult because FR shares those same characteristics. People just want to belong and it seemed positive and hopeful.

This was my point very early on. I spent a lot of my military time doing OPSEC and it literally made zero sense to me to tell the inner workings of a top secret operation - to the entire world - including the enemy. It was the equivalent of Churchill saying to all of England, The US and Russia: "OK chaps - we are going to land over HERE in Normandy - not Calais - between June 5th and the 7th. But for God's SAKE - Don't tell the Germans!"

And the closer we got the the 6th of June-Churchill decided it was in the best interest of Operation Overlord to broadcast the above information on all frequencies.

that wasn’t a fun time.

it was so obvious that she wasn’t running, but was an attention seeker (not that I blame her...she had to work)

but like I said before....I’m sure I’ve been on the wrong side of an intensely debated issue before and that my wrongness was obvious to others

were you here when roberts was nominated by gwb? Wow, that was intense. We KNEW that he was bad news. But I didn’t think he was going to be this bad....

I’m sure it’ll be fine until they start to thinkin’ that your a Troll......that’ll progress quickly to you being a derp, and a shill then before ya know it, they’re giving you up to the enemy because you’re not Trusting the Plan because Biden didn’t really get sworn in......

But you! You! You dare to think Biden really got sworn in.

One day I asked regarding a Q Twitter post.....”How did this guy get classified info?”

They lost their ever loving minds! LOL

“You’re a TROLL!!”

“Are you getting paid well from your derp over lords?”

LMAO!

...I’d want them in a foxhole next to me...

Maybe...

But on the other hand, they might just sit there in their foxhole waiting to be saved by some imaginary friend.

“Bottom line: conservatives were played for fools during the Trump presidency.”

Being a bit dramatic. Trump got about twelve million more votes this time than the first time. And voting is what counts, not being conversant with Q theory, whatever it is.

problem is... the ‘bad guys’ (hillary, 0bama, etc) have literally committed treason (or espionage) going back to the 90s (i was in washdc from ‘86-’95 and again ‘03-’08).

TREASON and/or ESPIONAGE are a huge deal. especially when dealing with highly classified military tech.

these are offenses that come with jail time. yet none of them are even CHARGED.

besides the cynical double standard response... i’d really like to know WHY

of course, if they don’t get charged for those crimes, election tampering sure as hell isn’t going to get the FBI, NSA, DAs and judges to do their job

You are asking the right questions....

You may not like the answers—but if you click on my name and look at the first link at the top and then skip down to the bottom third of my page—you will see my take on it...

Confining them to the single thread was an inspired tactic, at the time.

While this was a noble exercise, unfortunately, the Q-Tips started wandering outside of that fence more and more each day...

The vote counting being limited to lawful, honest votes helps too...

While Trump did receive 12 million more votes in 2020, not all are conservatives, and not all follow the alternative media. I am referring to those conservatives who do not use the mainstream media, other than perhaps Fox News, at least before election day.

Your sermon sounds a little different than your earlier small t message...

...Not ban them because there’s enough of that from the left these days but publicly shame such nuttery. The light of truth is the best weapon against disinformation otherwise more retreats into even more shadowy realms of the Internet solve nothing...

To, uh, resurrect an oft used phrase from the not so distance past, what would Jesus say of shaming someone for thinking differently from the acceptable norm in a search for truth? Did Jesus attack every Pharisee? Was he patient with every disciple?

Jump to the 3 minute mark in this video and you will realize that Trumps statement(Tip Top) is with deliberate intent to answer the poster on Q’s board. No other explanation for it.
