I didn’t say the Q followers are the ones shielding their identities, I said it’s Q themselves. And, no, I don’t watch any Q-related videos on YouTube, just like I don’t watch any videos about the Earth being flat, or the Moon landing being faked, or about the Easter Bunny. You know why not? Because those are all a bunch of horsesh!t that no rational person would believe—just like Q.
I don’t put Q in the same category as flat-Earthers, mainly because there are Q-proofs out there that seem pretty convincing. And there is a serious case to be made for the need of a source of information that prepares the field for a coming sea change. If there is a deep state, and if there is a plan to dismantle it systematically, then creating a support group in the public that understands the strategy and is prepared for non-standard actions in the future at first blush seems brilliant.
Worst case scenario. Q sold a lot of T-shirts.
