QAnon may very well be a leftist disinformation effort, but it comes across more as a quaint little cult of those who think they have “inside intel.” It’s more likely someone sitting in a basement laughing his ass off as he gaslights the Q-berts.

QAnon also appeals to our desire for “hope” in times that seem hopeless.

We are waiting for a White Knight to ride in and save us, righting all the wrongs we perceive in one act.

We have this childish notion of being saved through movies/television’s indoctrination of our minds. Everything gets wrapped up nice and neatly and the good guys always win.

Reality is different. Throughout history it is the bad guys who win over the good with rare exceptions.

People who are in a state of despair need hope and a sense of belonging to something important to reverse the conditions creating the despair. On Free Republic, the Threat Matrix threads filled that role after 9/11 as do the Q threads do now. Human nature.

That's what I've always thought.

Like all conspiracies, QAnon appeals to those who need to believe that they’re special, they know something no one else knows. I call them the QAnuts.

BTW, have you noticed the over-lap between QAnon supporters and the anti-vaxxer movement?

Go read every Q post then come back and tell me its someone sitting in a basement.

You people say the stupidest things.
