The 31-day campaign against QAnon

There was a time when Kevin Van Ausdal had not yet been called a “loser” and “a disgrace” and hustled out of Georgia. He had not yet punched a wall, or been labeled a “communist,” or a person “who’d probably cry like a baby if you put a gun in his face.” He did not yet know who was going to be the Republican nominee for Congress in his conservative district in northwestern Georgia: the well-known local neurosurgeon, or the woman he knew vaguely as a person who had openly promoted conspiracies including something about a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles.

Typical WAPO reporting. I wonder if this district is near Kenesaw? They surely have painted the Republican as the most evil. Lets see now, which one can I depend on the most to defend our country and which one would waive a white flag? (rhet.)

[Dr. Sivana]

Question from the interviewer:

“How do you appeal to these people while still holding onto what you believe in?”

Which Van Ausdel answered with a bromide. Both the questioner and the candidate were comfortable casting the people in the district as "these people", as "other". That's only a step removed from "deplorable".

[ClearCase_guy]

Imagine being interviewed by a black journalist and phrasing a response with the term “you people”. That sort of “otherness” is no longer considered acceptable.

I am not a Q fan, primarily because I can’t figure it out.

It is as obscure to me as was my High School French class.

However,
I am sure glad, super glad, that these “newspaper” Aholes aren’t going after, attacking my little website.

WashPost, if it weren’t such an extremist propaganda machine, would do much much better reporting the news, instead. Like, the Biden family corruption scandal for starters.

Yesterday a woman in my local bar was criticizing the LGBTQ movement’s harassment of J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter author). The person she was talking to is a hardline Trump-hater, and the Trump-hater immediately concluded that the other woman was spreading QAnon propaganda. The other woman didn’t even know what QAnon is.

[Steve_Seattle]

The most blatant, false conspiracy theory in recent days has been the idea that the Hunter Biden scandal is "Russian disinformation." It is the MSM who are spreading that lie to millions of people. Meanwhile QAnon plods along in relative obscurity, influencing very few. Without the MSM's sudden obsession with it, most people would never have heard of it.

By the way, there ARE Satanists and pedophiles and sex-traffickers here and around the world, and it is no conspiracy theory to say that they exist, and that some are probably involved in government, law enforcement, the courts, the public schools, and the universities.

"I am not a Q fan, primarily because I can’t figure it out."

There are a few Q fans here, but they are probably greatly outnumbered by Q's critics, Q skeptics, and the vast majority who pay little if any attention to it.

Most of the Q articles that are posted seem to contain some innocuous message like "Trump has a plan."

[faithhopecharity]

I wish I could figure Q out, tho

[Dr. Sivana]

For those who don’t have time to read the whole article, we find the would be Dem candidate in northwest Georgia uptalks, ran while he had marital problems right after buying a house, wound up getting divorced and moving back to his parents’ house in Indiana.

Early on he was talking about being mild and positive, but by the end his text was laced with profanity and vulgarities, and speaking of Trump and his supporters as fascists and terrorists.

The cognitive dissonance and soy are strong in this one.

[Steve_Seattle]

"I wish I could figure Q out, tho."

As I understand it, QAnon is a pro-Trump person allegedly residing somewhere within the Deep State, and who therefore has access to classified sources and other inside information.

[polymuser]

Proggies are doing a Streisand on this one, too. LOL.

As with blocking Hunter Biden news: just draws lots more attention to it.

F’idiots, they are, and fun to watch shoot themselves in the foot, over and over and over!

[AzNASCARfan]

This is a pretty good article about QAnon...
It is the first one I have read that finally had a real journalist dig in and figure it out for himself instead of reporting what everybody else keeps saying!

thanks
(glad to hear it!)
but i still can’t figure out what the hell he writes, HA!

first lesson in communications: sufficient clarity so that readers can at least understand what ya sayin

first lesson in entertainment: captivate readers’ minds by drawing them into an enigma they can enjoy deciphering (or, that they can enjoy just claiming they’ve done it...like belonging to a secret society, fraternity, or other sort of gnostic cult?)

“I am not a Q fan, primarily because I can’t figure it out.”

That’s me as well. Something about pedophiles. I’m basically not into doing puzzles and seeing through the fog.

The Q team stands at the right hand of The Donald.

I understand what Q is saying.

Maybe you and I are just different, brain pan wise.

It also takes some effort.

[bagster]

Something about pedophiles.

That and so much more.

You are letting the derp media shape your mind.

Think for yourself.

[faithhopecharity]

Indeed, I exhibit very few brains and even less effort. Thank you very much. 🤡
