What was or is QAnon?

Posted on 05/02/2026 12:24:14 PM PDT by bluescape

Now that we can look at QAnon from a distance what did it turn out to be? I thought some of it's posts were legit just because I believed underhanded stunts were commonplace by the dims and the media. Especially after the lawfare against Trump and the pseudo press coverage of biden.

Now it seems like QAnon was just trying to sow chaos among us conservatives. It's referred to like a joke or some manner of failed attempt to do whatever.

QAnon were just internet followers / speculators of the cryptic and mysterious Q.

To be certain, QAnon was highlighted by the MSM to discredit Q in an attempt to delegitimize Q and the stated purpose.

Anyone equating faith in “Q” to faith in God is a lost soul...

We know you cant tell them, you have to show them.

However, sometimes both telling and showing dont even work.

The Rove and Jeb wingers of the GOP dismiss Q as fake and nuttery. FR still has plenty of them chiming in here. I will stay open minded because while some here shrug it off, Q terrifies the Left. Anything that terrifies the Left is a good thing in my book.

Yep, been thinking that for years

The energy put into that movement could have had a real effect if used properly

” a satanic, cannibalistic pedophile cabal is running a global child-trafficking ring and plotting against Donald Trump.”

That sounds about right.

I’ve stopped caring if they ever figure it out.

It was probably an intel agency psyop. Pacification program that told people to just sit back and trust the plan. And it worked.

That’s my belief as well.

“Exactly the opposite of what Q said”

Only intelligent people caught the anti-action messaging. The dumb were easily manipulated into doing nothing while “trusting the plan”.

Q said “Trust the plan” many times over. The plan was a revolution to be had, so do nothing yourself now. Wait. Don’t interfere. It is coming.

“The Storm” is coming, an upheaval in which a Trump-led military would rise up to seize the country’s government back from the liberals, prosecute the criminal Democrats, and take back the country.

There were constant hints that a grand plan was unfolding, so do nothing to interfere. Q stated that democrats were in fear of Trump’s plan, that big things were coming like Pelosi being arrested. Q stated, hinted, and riddled, many times that a huge plan would unfold and stop the liberals in their tracks, so do nothing now that could jeopardize that plan. Sit back, relax, just wait and see.

Q stated Trump was playing “6D chess”, that everyone just needed to let it all play out, do nothing, sit back, relax, “trust the plan”.

Q was agitprop, anti-agitation propaganda.

Anyone with half a brain could see Q was “agit porn”, interesting statements made to capture the curiosity and attention of those agitated and who might take to the streets. Many posting across social media by agitated Americans at the time could have exploded into violence against liberals. Q was there to tell them to stand down and wait, that a grand plan was unfolding; just wait, it is coming. It was the excuse millions needed to just do nothing, and they did just nothing.

'just sit back and trust the plan'

As opposed to doing what?

When have Conservatives ever ‘exploded into violence’ against liberals?

“When have Conservatives ever ‘exploded into violence’ against liberals?”

1775 comes to mind.
So does 1860.

Q was the successor to Quidam. Minus the men in the grey suits. BTTT if you remember.

I mean during modern times when the current ‘Liberal’/’Conservative’ dichotomy has dominated our politics.

(The agitators in 1775 and 1860 were not ‘Conservative’ by the definition of our times and only by a real stretch were some even of their own times.)

Yes, they were. They are the patriots we think we are today.

I disagree. They and their issues were completely different from ours today. (And which side in the Civil War do you consider were the ‘patriots’?)

The co- founder of Wikipedia was a strongly atheist philosophy guy. In response to Pizzagate he explored the issue of why the sex traffickers believe so strongly in Satan’s real power. He did a bunch of research and ended up forced to agree that Satan is real. It caused him to rethink his entire worldview and he is now a strong Christian.

I’m trying to remember the name of a guy who was high in the financial circles who gave an interview about getting out when they required child sa orifice to Satan. Anybody remember that?
