That’s scary weird if people still believe it.

Funny how you people always jump to 'sounds like a religion' or 'sounds like a cult'. You have limited brains to have your thought process dead end at those conclusions. There are other things than religions and cults that act as explanations for, in this case, the Q movement.

Let me try to give you an example you can deal with, that way help illustrate my point.

The TEA Party. Remember that? Wasn't it that money guy on tv (forget the name, Jim something) that did a rant and got that ball rolling?

The people rose and formed in their numbers and created a movement. They had, in the beginning, binding principles, common goals, and purpose. They then set about to take action based on all of those things. There was no hierarchy, no rank structure, no LEADERS, per se.

In many ways, the TEA party was like the Q movement. Q is a mass of people rising up with purpose, binding principles, and common goals. amd NO LEADERS.

So my question to you is, was the TEA party like a religion or a cult? If you say yes, then how? I suspect, if you are an honest man, you will say no. How can you not?

aN Anyway. The religion/cult slam is just lazy thinking, I believe, with maybe some projection thrown in. Perhaps 'you people' see that as how you would treat it if you were involved.

And when you say no (hopefully) maybe you will understand that the Q movement is just the same as the TEA Party movement. Maybe a younger crowd (which is good), but very much the same.

What you should do is realize that some people know how to think properly about a thing. Just about every person I've come to know that dabbles in Q on FR is at the very least intelligent enough to have raw, native common sense, and in abundance.

Their brains work very well, and that's the most important thing, the ability to think. So to tell those people, who had to have thought through this thing extensively before committing, that they are treating this like a religion or a cult, or behaving in that manner, is a serious insult to their intelligence. Because they know they aren't.

Believe it or not, when somebody insults a thinking person, that person takes a moment to ask themselves, 'am I an a-hole', etc. I always have to answer yes to that inner question, cause I'm an honest man. But I assure you, each and every 'Qtard' has asked themselves, 'am I treating this like a religion or cult'? And they have answered no.

For one, most here already have a religion, so that's a double insult. And if they found it cultish, they would bail in about half a second.

I hope you, and others, can put yourself at ease on the religion/cult question. We are normal as mom's apple pie just like all ya'll.

So aaaaanyway. Too long/didn't read.

Good day.

However, I had already had several rants saying we needed another Tea Party as had other people, but of course we weren’t on TV. 😊

No one is going to read that. No one cares. It’s over. He’s not coming back.

I was in the initial Tea Party march to DC in 2009. the powers that be tried to pretend like we didn't exist, but we DID exist and there were many of us. I went to DC 2 more times in the couple of years afterwards, once to see Glen Beck, and once to see Andy Breitbart speaking (a great guy).

The first DC march was very powerful - being surrounded by GOOD Americans from all over the country is inspiring.
