I doubt it started as something sincere....QAnon pushed the “trust Sessions” nonsense as Sessions ran out the clock on Trump and could have ended Trump/Russia collusion in his first few months.
QAnon was meant to prolong the agony the left were inflicting upon the Trump Administration.
You’re right: It probably WASN’T sincere but a lot of sincere people take it seriously. Haha, you should visit that anti-scientology site “Underground Bunker” that guy has so much stuff on “Q” you will read for hours. He clearly hates the GOP and DT, but it’s very thorough, comprehensive, well-researched, etc.
I have some personal reasons for ire against “Q” that I’m not gonna go into here, but yes: Q is Bu11sh1t. I feel sorry for the nice people who still take it seriously.
I never got into Q, but have a good friend who did. My problem with the stuff he’d say is the solution was always to wait and trust the plan. Anything real would promote activism.
