Trump rallies drift to fringe ahead of potential 2024 bid

WARREN, Mich. – Paige Cole is one of the “Anons.” The mother of three from Eastpointe, Michigan, says Joe Biden is a sham president and believes Donald Trump will soon be reinstated to the White House to finish the remainder of Biden’s term.

“His whole inauguration was fake. He didn’t have real military people. He had, like, fake badges, fake people. And Trump is actually our president,” she said while waiting in line for his latest rally on Saturday at Macomb Community College. Wearing a pink “Trump 2024” hat and draped in a large “TRUMP WON” flag, Cole — a former Democrat who says she voted twice for Barack Obama — began to cry as she described the significance of Trump's return and the 1,000 years of peace she believes will be ushered in with it. “It’s gonna change everything,” she says, "like we have never in humanity seen before.”

Surely you jest, unless you meant “anon” in the Olde English sense.

I’m not on TS. I call it the Q Quackhouse. But I think that list is hilarious. Jack Posobiec, Brian Cates, David Chase and little jeremiah? What a weird list! Didn’t y’all out Cates as a lib troll or something?

Ooo. I just noticed your posting that list started a little war on your Special Q Thread:

And it goes on and on. Lol!

Yeah I'd say this is drifting into 'fringe' territory. But I would say that most who attend the rallies are serious dedicated Trump supporters who believe in the man and not the weirdos.

I think what you’re trying to convey, is that this is going to be increasing propaganda spewed out of the leftist media as we gear up for another presidential election - and if P.DT runs again.

Yes it likely will be a trend and they’ll try to marginalize him by associating him with fringe lunatics on the extreme right.

Will it work? No, because the army of normal people won’t let it happen. Not only people like on this forum, but bloggers, pundits, media types, whomever....will push back hard. And, who will be the lefty candidate next time?

They will have their own problems to address with whichever radical is up for the spot.

So yes, you’re right about the increase in propaganda trying to link extreme right to PDT - but, have faith that we will prevent it from taking root.

“Q Followers are dwindling. As more outrageous madness gets exposed”

After which we will need to find a new source of bizarre entertainment.

It was the Dem plan to paint Republicans as “The Party of QAnon” since the beginning of 2021 and they were open about it. See my post #106 with links:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4098062/posts?page=106#106

It doesn’t look to me like anyone is pushing back against this narrative. Can you cite any links to give me hope? I’ve not seen much pushback against whacky fringe stuff.

Looks like Truth Social is in trouble after being taken over by Q followers:

*****
Wilkerson, who has also had an up-close view of the launching of the social media platform as an alternative to Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, told the Herald that he believes Truth Social’s future is shaky. He argues the site has quickly become more about promoting Trump than giving voice to a range of conservatives and others, and that the operation is struggling with issues that go beyond regulatory questions about the financial structure that created it.

Wilkerson said that if shareholders don’t approve the merger extension on Monday, the Trump Media marriage to Digital World would probably be called off and investors’ funds would be liquidated and returned to them.

“One way or another, this company is going to go bankrupt,” Wilkerson, 38, told the Herald. “I don’t think the company is going to be approved by the SEC.”

It’s a shame Trump *appears* to have been pandering to the Q crowd, and boy do they ever love to crow about it.

At first thought it’s kind of funny what the next thing could be.
But then thinking deeper, it becomes scary! 😆

Let’s hope it’s something harmless like UFOs, Forest Fairies or Time Travel.

Lol! Right you are. It is a form of bizarre entertainment and I sometimes laugh so hard I get all teary eyed.

But, as I posted earlier, there’s a dark side: “But Q is not an entirely benign phenomenon. Q followers have committed suicide over it, and a few have killed family members, but the larger toll is in broken marriages and families and divided churches.”

Link: https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4098062/posts?page=147#147

So it’s not all yuks. It saddens me to see marriages and families and churches broken up by a bunch nonsense put out by grifters.

I don’t hold out much hope for it going away completely. It’s like a meta-conspiracy theory, sucking in every conspiracy theory out there like a black hole.

BTW, glad to see you’re still with us. A bunch of Q followers were certain Oct. 10 was the day all the vaxxed would kick the bucket. The lib kids been having a field day laughing about it over on reddit.

Bagster and I have an odd relationship here. We like each other but oppose each other. I have been worried about him.

But your “humor” as you’re trying to paint it now as seems to be falling flat on the Q Thread.

I’ll let them deal with your “sense of humor”.

BTW…….I thought that was a Truth Social post, it was on Telegram.
I’m not even on Telegram.

You guys might get a chuckle out of this. “Kit contains over 450 word tiles that magnetically stick to your fridge, filing cabinet, or anyone who has received their second shot of the Pfizer vaccine.”

That’s very funny and great idea for working Moms on the go that need a daily food for thought conspiracy. 😆
Inspirational conspiracies like, “5G vax chips keep turning off my left ear.”

Seeing as how you managed to survive 0ct. 10, now we have this Q grifter's prediction:

Be sure to drink your Qvaltine!

“A bunch of Q followers were certain Oct. 10 was the day all the vaxxed would kick the bucket.”

Not dead (yet). But magnets are now sticking to my arm at the injection site.

“as I posted earlier, there’s a dark side”

Some of what I see on Q makes me think of someone I ran across a few years ago. Some dude stopped me as I was walking through the neighborhood- I don’t recall why exactly, maybe he asked me something- anyway whatever he was saying was perfectly reasonable for a minute or two until it went completely off the rails and into the land of cosmic rays reading minds.

It caught me by surprise and I just nodded in agreement with his story. I think he must have been a high functioning schizophrenic living with his family. Pleasant. Harmless. But with a totally crazy streak. When you see it in person it’s sad rather than humorous. It’s a tough way to go through life.

By using the Emergency Broadcast System?

No tanks, troops, or Apaches?

That’s boring.

As one of the reddit kids commented, “just don’t turn on your radio and they can’t take over. easy.”

The whole thread is hysterical:

There was a guy kind of like that who worked at the computer repair shop my elderly parents used. He’d go on and on about remote viewing and space aliens and how my Dad should take astronomical amounts of Vitamin D like he did. But then he could snap right out of it and discuss computer stuff very sensibly and knowledgeably.

Yes, it’s sad. And it’s sad how so many Q followers have been isolated from family and friends, too. Just sad.

“But, have you ever wondered what if you didn’t agree with him?”

I think he’d have simply been confused by my failure to appreciate the danger presented by cosmic rays. He wasn’t the least bit threatening or agitated. He just had one foot in an alternate universe.
