For almost as long as he can remember, Mathieu’s father had been a provocateur, with a penchant for inappropriate jokes and borderline remarks. But when he started dipping his toes into conspiracy theories, things quickly got out of hand.
“When he told me to ‘look out for the FBI report’ proving Hillary Clinton tortured babies and drank their blood to live forever, I knew with 200 percent certainty that I had lost him,” Mathieu* recalled. “It was finished. I would never again see the person he was before.”
As is often the case, the father’s cross over to “the other side” occurred at a particularly vulnerable moment in his life: his finances had collapsed, he had lost his home and, as a final kick in the stomach, he was diagnosed with a serious, and often terminal, illness. It didn’t help that he was retired and didn’t have many friends.
“I feel kind of responsible because a lot of people fall into these situations when they are isolated,” said Mathieu, who has turned into somewhat of an expert on conspiracy theories since his father began embracing the QAnon movement, whose members believe the world is run by a cabal of Satan-worshipping paedophiles.
“I feel guilty in almost the same way you do when you hear that someone close to you has committed suicide, you feel like you should have been there more,” Mathieu said.

Why don’t you just wear a ‘kick me’ sign on your backside? Lol...
Oh Louise, PUHLEEZE!
And Epstein killed himself.
Man, no kidding. My gullible auntie believes that politicians are honest, patriotic, and work hard for the best interests of all of their constituents instead of being beholden to their fat cat donors and ideological fellow travelers. I tell you, her unfounded delusions are tearing our family apart…
You should be banned for continuously and intentionally trying stir division at FR. Everything you post is deep state crap. You have your mission. People are waking up to your game.
There are no FReepers in Berlin.
I think I like you.
Likewise, I’m sure. :)
LOLOLOL!!!
You are the one trolling. How about you post on topic instead?
I've managed to steer clear of a lot of shoals over my decades on FR by trying to inform rather than smear [OK, I smeared Hillary and Bill. And I liked it.].Claims the Troll who smeared me in post #2 for simply posting an article:
You need to stop with the trolling, Berlin.
This has to be up there as a top stupid post.Hardly anyone thinks there is a big Q following out there anymore except dunderhead Dems like Don 🍋.Actually your Trolling is the most stupid post.
Nothing worth while comes from you here except to agitate.
You should be banned for continuously and intentionally trying stir division at FR. Everything you post is deep state crap. You have your mission. People are waking up to your game.FR is not run by Q and I am still here and will continue posting articles for mature minded adults to discuss. The crybabies who hate freedom can go pound sand.
There are no FReepers in Berlin.Proud Patriotic Christian Conservative FReeper here.
You’re such a child.
Look, child.
I've been here at Free Republic since March of 1997.
You showed up in 2005, eight years later - and now you're accusing ME of being a Troll.
Go eff yourself, you childish POS.
Everyone is getting sick of your childish trolling schtick, clownboy.
Yes, you really proved that you are not a Troll.
A TROLL would never resort to such a low level of hateful name calling. /s
BTW childish Liberal, you only speak for yourself not everyone. Don't forget that.
I’ll tell you the biggest conspiracy theory ever...the FBI is a law enforcement agency. Personally I don’t believe it, but mostly because I am sane. They refuse to investigate anything actually criminal and now Democrats think they have gotten away with their election theft, but others say not so fast. I saw an article about that, “AZ State Rep. Mark Finchem Speaks At Trump Rally In Des Moines: ‘34,000 Or 35,000 Fictitious Voters – We Believe We Found Them.’”, and you can give that a look at GatewayPundit. So it wasn’t just Maricopa county as the ones above are specific to Pima County. Forensic Audit the USA NOW! My favorite thing to do is use my horse reins ‘whip’ to grab my garage door pull ‘noose’. Saves me getting off the high horse I rode in on.
