Perhaps “discredited” is the wrong word.
But like it or not, Q has become the poster child for conspiracy theorists. “Q” has literally replaced the phrase “tin foil hat” as the cliché to describe conspiracy theorists!
Maybe it is undeserved - that doesn’t matter. The fact is that the concept of Q has become a useful tool for discrediting the Right.
I was not exaggerating when I said that lately, every time I declare my support for President Trump, I get asked about Q. Every time.
Why is that? I’ll tell you why - it is because the fake news has launched this as a propaganda strategy - push the narrative that all Trump supporters are Q followers. That way, Trump and his supporters get painted as conspiracy theory nut jobs.
It is quite clever, actually.
The Q supporters love it because it fulfills their fantasy that there are a 75 million Q followers out there.
The RINOs love it because it fulfills their fantasy that they are still the true Republicans, and that Trump supporters are nut jobs.
The Democrats love it because it fulfills their fantasy that the Right is superstitious and that Trump has brainwashed us all.
Look, I know the Q followers are genuine supporters of President Trump, and I know they want what is best for the Republic. Q supporters are good people. I get that.
But, deserved or not, it is undeniable that the Q phenomenon has gained a reputation for attracting nut job conspiracy theorists, and for that reason, Q has become a perfect tool for the Left to paint all Trump supporters as kooks.
Well said !
“ But, deserved or not, it is undeniable that the Q phenomenon has gained a reputation for attracting nut job conspiracy theorists, ”
I’ve yet to meet one.
“ Q has become a perfect tool for the Left to paint all Trump supporters as kooks.
I’m not likely to take the left seriously.
They paint every conservative as racist, sexist, homophobic, violent.
Nothing new there. This is one more episode.
