‘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.

I watched the latest Mission Impossible: movie, and Tom Cruise used that very same line.

My only mistake is engaging with the Q people.

Don't sell yourself short, Okeydokes. You make an incredible amount of mistakes.

no matter what the evidence or argument is they will find a way to ignore or discount it.

I would like to see that. Lo these past months, I've seen VERY little evidence against the proposition of Q other than name calling and INSISTING that it's a Larp.

People like you have zero proof of your proposition while I have tons. Simple belief is not proof. Your belief in this matter is based merely on faith and a desire that your argument be true. In that regard, you are much like a cult member.

You can look up, if you aren't too tired from forty years of practicing and not learning law, all kinds of evidence in support of the Q proposition. Really. It's out there. We call it the internet.

Even on FR, which is entirely Trump supporters, very few people go along with this stuff.

Or so the German's would have you believe.

And not just the Germans, but the deep state DC swamp creature trolls who claim to be lawyers and offer up as proof of that their home page and a not too good understanding of the law or how Washington works.

Not you, of course, Atticus Finch. I'm not talking about you. You are obviously a brilliant barrister. I can tell that by your posts.

Lol...I doubt you could even identify which "Alinsky tactic" I'm using.

Consult with your coven and get back to me...

Silence is golden, Daddy.

Oooooo. You just quoted Q. I think you're coming around, deepie. Watch out Hillary don't get ya. She's not that into turncoats, or so I hear.

Also, you don't have to call me daddy.

Scroll down for what you quoted.

I simply responded to the poster in kind. Shame you’re not objective enough to see that.
