‘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

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.

Q is becoming mainstream, if only to bash it as a deranged conspiracy theory.

Q seems to be working on the Libs and the Swamp, even if it only a psyop.

Looks like Q is hitting a nerve. Good.

As Q would say, these people are stupid.

So WaPoo would rather write an article about a “Q” sign at a Trump rally than a “Blacks for Trump” sign ... go figure ...

“Deranged”. How very soviet of WaPo. An adjective they would never call AntiFa.

And the MSM wonders why they’re hated.

When the ACT-UP types were showing up at Dem rallies years ago, and being generally disruptive, the Washington Post types never considered calling them a “Deranged Conspiracy Cult”.

As a Q-aficionado, I was promoted from lowly deplorable to ‘fringe’ rank.

Do I see another promotion to ‘deranged’ or would that be a decoration to my ‘fringe’ status?

I like the sound of Q-Fringe 3rd Class with Deranged Clusters.

Hey WaComPost, is Q like that Deep Throat guy you let your reporters, Woodstein, use during Watergate (which you never had a problem with)?

Fake news, false flag psyops, leftist trojan horse, rumor mongering exercise, a political prank, all of these or something else? Folks are laughing somewhere. Let's see, where are all the Q-bots and what are they jabbering about today? Now this is entertainment, not information. I am guessing somebody's already working on the book.

My question is, can you still be deplorable and irredeemable? Also, is there a Straight Jacket class?

So, they write a story based on the fact that TWO people out of - what - 7,000? - had signs referencing “Q”, and try to make it seem like the entire crowd is therefore on board with the “Q” phenomenon. Why do they never single out any of the MANY bizarre signs at leftist rallies? Why don’t they write a story describing “No Borders” as the radical, lunatic idea that it is?

I know a lot of people around here are big Q fans, but I learn more about the future, more clearly expressed, by reading Nostradamus

Ahem. Q is not “news”.

Q is Q&A on matters of those plotting against Trump.
