‘We are Q’: A deranged conspiracy cult leaps from the Internet to the crowd at Trump’s ‘MAGA’ tour
Washington comPost ^ | August 1, 2018 | Isaac Stanley-Becker

Posted on 08/01/2018 8:35:01 AM PDT by Yo-Yo

On Tuesday evening, the dark recesses of the Internet lit up with talk of politics.

“Tampa rally, live coverage,” wrote “Dan,” posting a link to President Trump’s Tampa speech in a thread on 8chan, an anonymous image board also known as Infinitechan or Infinitychan, which might be best described as the unglued twin of better-known 4chan, a message board already untethered from reality.

The thread invited “requests to Q,” an anonymous user claiming to be a government agent with top security clearance, waging war against the so-called deep state in service to the 45th president. “Q” feeds disciples, or “bakers,” scraps of intelligence, or “bread crumbs,” that they scramble to bake into an understanding of the “storm” — the community’s term, drawn from Trump’s cryptic reference last year to “the calm before the storm” — for the president’s final conquest over elites, globalists and deep-state saboteurs.

Quoting the afternoon radio talk show, might’ve been Hannity.

Bumping your fine thread.

What too many people do not seem to realize is that it does not matter who/what Q is.

If he is military intelligence working with POTUS, and they really do have a plan, it is amazing and miraculous!

If he is a kid in the garage and is simply LARPING, then he deserves a medal. Anyone who can motivate thousands if not millions of people to RESEARCH the internet for links and stories about current events and history is a FRICKIN’ GENIUS! ..and the result is amazing and miraculous!

No matter who dunnit, the fact of having so many INFORMED citizens HAS FOREVER CHANGED THE ABILITY OF THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA TO PUSH ITS LIES AND TRICKS.

The fantasy-trading cult known as “Q” is embarrassing and a drag on FR. Not so bad when the Q-idiocy like “weather controlling machines” and “secret ICBM tests” is contained within the Q threads/sewers, then non cultists can just ignore it.

But the cultists also tend to spread their fantasies on the normal threads as well. Sad.

As long as the role-play isn’t directed aggressively at anyone, it’s a relatively harmless fad that’ll eventually pass.

Agree entirely. The air of smugness about the enterprise annoys me, but that's my problem lol.

I can't say I'm annoyed by them; I find myself rather entertained by the online role-play quality of it. Perhaps experience points should be awarded when a certain number of people believe player X correctly "interprets" Q's words.

Why would you care?

Nobody criticized you.

I said my annoyance was my problem, and ScottinVA defended you.

You’re just so precious, I guess.

and watching you spew the same BS talking points as the enemy of every Republican like the NY times Washington post cnn buzzfeed think progress newsweek nbc msnbc etc etc etc. is most entertaining, you must have lived near the swamp for too long and it polluted you weak mind

POTUS could end Q with one tweet. And yet he doesn't and instead acknowledges it by pointing out Q and giving little clues the media claims he is crazy because of.

WHY Doesn't he?

Go look at the tweets about the president just yesterday about him saying repeatedly he had been to Washington 17 times (q is the 17th letter of the alphabet) or even better look up when POTUS stood with all his generals and said this is the calm before the storm. I say don't believe me or a troll like you here parroting what the MSM says go find out for yourself.

But, I feel bad for you going through life without even a speck of curiosity or situational awareness.
