You see, I am anti-mandate. This clown parade of articles from the likes of The Expose, Naomi Wolfe, Steve Kirsch, “Dr” Robert O. Young, Stew Peters, etc., making ridiculous claims such as tiny razor blades, magnetic nano-bots, tiny mechanical octopuses, wiggly parasites, and snake venom in the vaccines is harmful to that cause.
Is it paranoid to wonder cui bono?
There's solid agreement, here on FR and in the activist MAGA crowd in the real world that we stand against mandates, passports, shut-downs, and all the rest of the coercive measures taken in the past 30 months that resulted in a stolen election, massive economic damage, and an ongoing assault against our ancient institutions and liberties. Who gains from the straw-manning, from sowing division when all agree that, eg, vax mandates are wrong and to be opposed, to then hyperbolically insist on what are at best wild confabulations?
Well, that's obvious. The opponents of the populist movement that Trump identified and ignited benefit from both the divisions and the ability to point to the nonsense, and ignore the substantive objections that unite the movement.
The only question is why.
Very well said.
No, it’s not paranoid to wonder cui bono. Obviously it’s in the lefties’ interest to divide us and to smear all of us as “the Party of QAnon”. It’s already started:

Actually, it started way back, and it will get worse.
The Dems even announced outright at the beginning of last year that tying Republicans to Q is their strategy for the midterms:

“Is it paranoid to wonder cui bono?”
No more paranoid than wondering how many agents provocateur were at the Capitol on January 6th. I’d bet money that one of the chief poo flingers of the Q kooks is here to gin up dissension and stupidity.
