The possibility of real-world harm is high': Experts warn of violence from QAnon around the election

Yahoo ^

Melanie Smith, head of analysis at the research firm Graphika, told members of the committee that she now considers QAnon to be “the most pressing threat to trusting government, public institutions and democratic processes.”

“I believe QAnon poses a threat to the election in two main ways,” Smith told Yahoo News. “The first lies in its ability to fit any event in the news cycle into an overarching conspiracy framework. The sheer size of this community and its capacity to shape the political conversation, particularly on the right wing of the political spectrum, cannot be underestimated.”

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

[KC_Lion]

For your interest.

[SaveFerris]

Ah, the Democrats at Yahoo are at it again.

[Bshaw]

Wait, I though QAnon was a conspiracy theory and that none of it is real?

How could that be a threat?

[Irenic]

Qanon fall guy for Antifa

[Obadiah]

Graphika is a left-wing Soros operation spreading disinformation, as they are here.

[Army Air Corps]

Boy, these wankers are outright afraid of the Qanon folks.

[DesertRhino]

Meanwhile, cities are burning, stores are being looted, and people cannot safely walk down the street in a Trump hat because of communist mobs.

But do tell me more about this “Q” violence.

[Osage Orange]

Has anyone in the MSM heard of Anitfa..and BLM?

[jeffc]

I think the FBI colluding with social media platforms to destroy Trump is the worst harm. Defund the FBI...

[“I believe QAnon poses a threat to the election in two main ways,” Smith told Yahoo News.]

After nearly 4 years of “the Russians” I guess it's "QAnon" now.

The REAL risk is from the Democrat Storm Troopers.

You see them in the streets already, rioting, looting, assaulting and burning buildings.

Vote Democrat, sheeple, for more of the same.

[albie]

Yes, and also keep your eyes out for those hell raisers the Rotary Club.

[Skywise]

Yeah - all those worldwide Qanon riots this summer, tearing down statues and attacking citizens and burning and looting businesses.

I’m not surprised Qanon will react badly to the election of Biden.

If I lived in cloud cuckoo cuckoo land.

[RatRipper]

Hmmm . . .I’ve had no reason to trust government in at least 30 years . . . I’ve never had anything to do with Q

[tomkat]

The smell of FEAR

LMAO !

[ransomnote]

“....some of the most prominent disciples of the QAnon movement.”

Disciples? *smh*

[MileHi]

Sure a lot of hand wringing for a LARP.

LOL

It is an idea. Ideas can be threats.
