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.

Media Matters is just another outlet of the Ministry of Propaganda.
Just like NBC.
I agree. I think Qanon was to keep people distracted from real issues and to mislead them (”trust Sessions”) and also to make conservatives seem like conspiracy cultists. Instead of talking about the Constitution or the problems with communism, too many people were ranting over the latest “Qdrop” rabbit trail. And there was real election fraud, but the facts were obscured by the QAnon-inspired noise.
So you are the FReeper who thinks Biden won fair and square.
QAnon is another ridiculous obsession of the corporate media, just like Confederate flags. Another distraction from covering real news like our open borders, galloping inflation, the crime explosion, massive increases in drug abuse and overdoses, dysfunctional schools, etc.
NBC has become as much of a joke as CNN and the Washington Post.

Look who they call a watchdog:
MMFA
Self-described “progressive” media “monitor” that tracks “conservative misinformation”
A creation of Democratic Party funders and operatives, and of former conservative writer David Brock
Dictates the content of many mainstream media reports
Smears conservatives as liars and racists
Contends that conservatives dominate the mainstream media
Is funded and supported by the billionaire philanthropist George Soros
Has regular contact and strategy sessions with political operatives inside the Obama White House.
Has collaborated with Attorney General Eric Holder’s office in an effort to discredit and suppress news stories about scandals plaguing the Justice Department.
So much more:

Yes, you "poison it and discredit it", for example by referring to it incorrectly as "Q-Anon".
Once again, Q has been around for a LONG time. At least 55 years. Without Anons. Anons only came onto the scene in Oct 2017, when the 4chan/8chan drops started, and public discussions of its planning commenced.
That entire article is right out of 1984.
What an insult to potatoes everywhere! ; )
How do you have so much insight into their concerns?
Fact is, the problem is so vast, and the sleepy normies so numerous (including here on FR), the only approach that Anons can logically and realistically take is to chip away, like an ice sculpture. Tiny shards, one at a time.
Yes, BidAn's double, and many others.
Yes, uninhabited WH
There are literally thousands of other clues Q-Deniers are oblivious to. Just look where we are today. You can go to CNN or FOX for that matter, search for 'audit' and come up with NOTHING. You can search for 'Arizona', and among all the AZ stories, find NADA on the audit, especially now after last Wednesday's bombshells.
:: Instead of talking about the Constitution or the problems with communism ::
Here is where your suggestion will fail, epically.
When a petulant child gets the upper-hand, that child will press its advantage.
Adults reason with adults.
One cannot reason with a passive-aggressive, \irrational\ child.
Lacking any effort at discipline, the rationalizing adult will always lose.
The Left are irrational children; just look at their actions.
Donald Trump embodied this concept but has been stymied in attempting discipline.
You can rationalize all you want about the Constitution and communism _here_.
That shit don’t work out in the real world.
[Without mentioning Q or The Anons]
:: How do you have so much insight into their concerns? ::
Because Davey trust the media.
They wouldn’t lie about something like this.
He gets all his “QAnon” info from the legacy US media corp.
Sex shop potato!
We have elected libtards encouraging the destruction of their cities for several years.
Talk about that fake news.
And btw, Nostradamus is cuckoo-for-cocoa puffs fringe anyway, so ehats your point?
>>> Q’s message. What’s wrong with that?
For one, lets take a closer look at the subliminal message in the photo you posted...
Who is depicted by the Q symbol?.... Intel operatives in the military
Who is depicted by the the Lion???... That would be Jesus.
So here in your photo, we have GOD looking UP to Q.
I have a problem with that.
When one idiot reports on a set of other idiots, it should be funny, but, infortunately, this was neither funny nor interesting.
Yup!
