One man's BS is another man's freedom fighter.
And besides, BS is protected by the first amendment.
Do you believe in 'hate speech' too?
You've fallen far from the Free Republic tree, mith.

QAnon is a virtual cult that celebrates President Trump and casts Democratic politicians and other elites as evil child abusers. Aspects of the cult are downright delusional. Last year an FBI office warned that Q adherents are a domestic terrorism threat. Despite all of that, or maybe because of all that, this dangerous nonsense seems to be spreading. It is cropping up in congressional races and national news coverage. In recent weeks many observers of the online information ecosystem have written, with growing concern, about the mainstreaming of QAnon. Reporters like Kevin Roose of The New York Times and Ben Collins of NBC have said that the conspiracy theory is in much wider circulation than polite society wants to admit.
Much of the conspiracy conversation happens in the social media shadows, in private groups. Earlier this week NBC's Ari Sen and Brandy Zadrozny reported that "an internal investigation by Facebook has uncovered thousands of groups and pages, with millions of members and followers, that support the QAnon conspiracy theory." The source? Internal Facebook documents. The company is weighing taking action against its QAnon community. Twitter recently made similar moves.

So I asked her to elaborate. Here's what she wrote to me: "QAnon offers its adherents an addictive alternative reality that requires their participation and, through this participation, draws them into the elaborate architecture of the conspiracy. It exploits the sense that something is broken in our society. But rather than focus on understanding these social fractures and healing them, QAnon instead fixates on the pursuit of enemies and villains described in such extreme terms that any action — either by adherents or by identified champions like President Trump —becomes justifiable. By drawing on the culture and value system, Q adherents have justified violent attacks."

Well, my point was to make you question your own actions, being a mod and all.
Once again, you fail to read between the lines.
I am practiced in the art of subtlety. Do I remind you of somebody that needs the mods to protect me?
Maybe it’s YOU who are trying to please a clique.
Obviously not though.
Enjoy what you can ... rationally.
Hilarious to see the “clique monsters” run.
Doesn’t any sad point convince you you’re being foolish? Any at all?
LOL!
My thoughts too - gives “Q” more credence in my mind...
From the article:
It is a dangerous, fully immersive alternative reality that is inspiring its followers to plan domestic terrorist attacks. It is, in other words, a system of radicalization.
= = = = =
The lying media are in full panic mode. Trying to “freeze” Q/Qanons (freeze the target), per their typical Alinsky ways, based on nothing but LIES.
While they’ve YET to label the violent and destructive Antifa and BLM for being the ones who HAVE ‘planned/committed domestic terroist attacks....and, being a system of radicaliztion’.
See how they try to do that?
Evil, indeed.
Easier to support Cuaanon than to support Romney.
Like that's a bad thing.

They don’t know what they are talking about.
Meanwhile, BLM and Antifa are doing exactly what CNN is accusing Q-Anon followers of - inciting violence.
Ha! The liars got ALL of their buzzwords in, on that segment...
Anti-Semitic
Anti-Catholic
Pres supports
Yada, yada, they lie like nada.
See my post 128.
Yew shore gotta purty mouth boah.
Q is the kind of thing that everybody in Washington is glued to but none will admit exists.
Antifa is a myth
Osama did the same thing, within 90 days had a new “report” out on “home grown” “right wing” terrorism.
We are over the target, bombs away!
I was just wondering that yesterday, how do we know they’re not STILL spying on the Executive?
