QAnon fanatics are rebranding their 'secret war.' And it's working.
NBC 'News' via MSN ^ | 7/18/21 | Mike Rothschild

Posted on 07/18/2021 5:14:32 AM PDT by Libloather

A few years into waiting for “the storm” to sweep away former President Donald Trump’s enemies, some believers in the prophetic QAnon conspiracy theory have decided to take matters into their own hands.

These “digital soldiers” aren’t picking up guns or marching on the Capitol - though many actually did that. Instead, nearly 100 Q-aligned candidates ran for Congress in the 2020 election, according to watchdog site Media Matters for America, with dozens of others running for governor, state legislature seats and county offices. Some were hardcore Q evangelists, while others had merely retweeted a QAnon hashtag. But all had shown some deference for a violent prophecy cult that was turning conspiracy theories into gospel.

Like so many of QAnon’s predictions, these candidates mostly failed. The majority didn’t get past their primary or ran in solidly Democratic districts and had no chance of victory. A few won at the state level, and constant media fixture Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has spouted QAnon-friendly conspiracy theories for years, won her deeply Republican congressional district in Georgia. But she was an outlier.

Post-2020, Q believers are once again gearing up to run for office and grow their movement, but with two major strategy changes. One is that Q believers are now getting involved in local elections for school boards and city councils and showing up at board meetings to scream about Q-linked topics. The other is that many of these candidates no longer identify as believers in QAnon - or even acknowledge that a movement with that name ever existed. They’re taking their “secret war” to new recruits looking to strike back against a way of life they feel is eroding - without the public acknowledgement that such a war exists.

Jeffrey Epstein. That would was the whole point of Q. And as it turns out, magically that has all floated away.

Everyone forgets that this was the whole point. There are elitist pervs and the swamp creatures of D.C. who protect them.

No one has explained all the pictures that Q posted, nor the flight log with the name John Roberts on it. I was in college when this all was uncovered originally, and after his arrest and conviction, all those Dems still hung out with him.... Including that dictatorial fascists hack Bill Gates. No one finds it odd that after 15-20 years, it is still being covered up?

If we lose the election, it will be down to too many conspiracy theories destroying our credibility with the voters.

See, had the election of 2020 not happened, one could be inclined to agree with you. As it is, it's more likely that election loss to the socialist/globalists will come from the election being stolen through fraud, or people not voting because the supposedly non-socialist/globalist side puts up a candidate that is no better than the alternative. I think that at least at the Federal level the days of voting for the lesser of two evils are gone for a lot of people.

I don’t follow Q and think most of them are a bit nuts but so much more superior to any in the MSM.

I don’t think any member of that family has much love for Q.

I don’t know about National Q Followers so much………but our Local Chapter right here on FreeRepublic are more concerned with Joe Biden’s body double and when the lights are clicked on or off at the White House.

Exactly. I’m still waiting for NBC to report on the threat posed to this country from having a senile retardate in the White House, a member of Congress who is so ‘effing stupid he thinks Guam might capsize under the weight of an expanded military base, another member of Congress who thinks Neil Armstrong landed on Mars, etc.

If we lose the election, it will be down to too many conspiracy theories destroying our credibility with the voters. There are too many conspiracy theories associated with Q-Anon and I feel as though they are probably a plant by people who dearly want to prevent America-first from ever rearing its head again. So what do you do with a populist movement? You poison it and discredit it. Thats where we are.

Bullcrap! It'll be down to we allowed the cheating to continue to happen. Q has been predicting that this election was going to be stolen since 2017. So far he's been pretty accurate in many ways and wrong in others. No different than any other presidigatator. Most people don't realize that Q is both an information and misinformation source, no different than Nostradamus. You reveal the full truth and your enemies will come after you. If it was all BS, the left wouldn't fear Q so much.

Jeffrey Epstein was not the point of Q. Global corruption, spanning governments, financial houses, corporations, intelligence services, universities, media, NGOs and religious institutions were the point. And now it’s all in the open. Now we know where to look and what to look for.

Name one <=== Exactly.

There is no QAnon.

There is Q.
There is Anon.

Q is a military affiliated intel group.
Anons can be anyone including patriots and traitors.

Anons can be patriits, curious followers, savants, Trolls, activists, Marxists, freedom lovers, Christian mockers, Jew haters ..... Anons = Anyone. All Anons can remain unknown to the general public.

Anons can be anyone including those reading here. All that one needs to do to be an Anon is to enter the one and only platform where Q writes posts and make a comment or ask a question. The vast majority of comments and questions are never addressed by the Q group., only a select few.

What the State media do is pose as an Anon Troll and post say Jewish Banker garbage, then label and brand all Anons as Nazis, then mash the falsely described Anons with Q to form a state media meme called ‘QAnon’.

In sum, Marxist Media mashes ‘Q’ with ‘Anon’ to form a nonexistent entity “QAnon” and brand it as White Supremacist Nazi Trump Brownshirt Deplorables.

Seems the anti Q fanatics need to practice what they preach.

Hey media, do what you do all the time. If you don’t report it, it goes away and isn’t happening.

That has always been easy for you.

This is conventional politics being demonized as “extremism” by the pro-Democrat media IMHO.

All politics is local and what can be more local than the local school board.
