Re Cates:
I don’t begrudge him changing his mind about Q. I’m glad he did. He’s a smart guy and I really enjoyed his posts on Twitter 8 years ago.
I just think he was playing it safe while trying to start his career and didn’t really take a good look at Q.
He could have just stayed silent about Q, instead of vilifying us. But he added to the loud chorus of those who said we were nuts. It damaged our credibility at a time most people were just hearing about Q. I stopped listening to him then.
Now, when it is painfully obvious that Q is real, he jumps on the bandwagon. Perhaps a better apology to us, and all who’ve been damaged by the narrative, would fix things.
My pov is if prevoius naysayers or their ilk wake up and see the truth, fine. Trump, Reagan and Tulsi Gabbard all used to be Democrats, for instance.
