White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was asked about supporters of the fringe QAnon conspiracy theory during her press briefing on August 1 after Trump fans held signs about the theory during a campaign rally in Tampa the night before. The question, asked by the Daily Mail

It does, but they don't see it. In fact, that behavior even further cements the perception that they're a cultish fringe group, but they don't see that, either.
Look at this thread. A half dozen Q followers are attacking a fellow Freeper because he's a skeptic. This sort of gangster pile-on happens every time I express my honest opinion on any Q related thread.
I have to ask; who benefits from such division and rancor? It certainly isn't Free Republic, or the Deplorable community at large. At the very moment in our history when unity among us is most urgently required, here comes a movement which has the potential to cleave us in two.
The immediate effects of this division are already being felt on this website. Skeptics and critics are being shuddered into silence by true believers, who tend to gang up on anyone who dares to speak their mind. I have no doubt that the same thing is happening at other conservative gathering places. I just wonder when dedicated conservative patriots are going to start being kicked off forums for not being devout Qbists.
Hahaha. Look who's talking.
Really?
Also, Windy. Stop living in the past with your Dan Rather memo-gate recollections. It's a new day. A new dawn. Big things are happening NOW.
Join with this President and support his Q operation. Get on the Trump train. Your country calls.

Accusing you of not knowing something (being ignorant) isn't a personal insult or an ad hominem attack. You go on to prove your ignorance by asking what tangible things has Q produced. Then right after that you seem to say that Don't tell me, "More Americans are better informed" because of Q.as if that in and of itself isn't a tangible result.
You have no idea what the Q operation's purpose even is. For some reason you think Q should be running around arresting people himself.
Nope, that's Trump and his administration's job. When you kvetch about NOTHING HAPPENING I WANT ARRESTS NOW NOW NOW, you are really slamming and whining to this President, not his psyop.
So, yea. I will agree with C-cat. You are pretty ignorant, Windy. I don't say that as a personal insult, but as a statement of fact. Your ignorance shines with every word you type. Own it. And try not to be insulted by a state of being that you yourself have chosen to live in.

Whoa, are you out of touch. Pick up a paper, bruh
The ignorance, it burns.
Qanon conspiracy goes mainstream.
YouTube under fire for allowing conspiracy theories.
Insane Qanon conspiracy theories...
Twitter [today] releases ban?
Was Twitter told to by MSM to demonstrate impact?
Do you think they got the [4am] memo?
Coincidence?
All for a Conspiracy?
Enjoy the show.
Q
Here you go, Windy. And this is just a small sample from yesterday, the day after the overwhelming and undeniable Q showing at the Trump rally.
You are now on the same side as the Deep State, Mockinbird media. Congratulations.
p.s. You asked me to ping you.
Bagster
No, just a simple skeptic who doesn't buy in to the hype and mass hypnosis of The Prophet Q.
I know it offends and angers you, that I continue to assert my own viewpoint here, but understand that I'm not telling anyone what to think. I don't care if you follow the cryptic quatrains of an anonymous internet oracle. That's your business.
I don't intrude on the Q folks' nightly thread, but I do reserve the right to express my skepticism on other Q related threads. Sorry if that raises your hackles, but until JimRob says otherwise, I'll continue to do so.
But I have a question for the faithful. What do you want of us skeptics?
Do you want us to shut up and keep our heads down?
Do you want us to be politically correct, and grant the Q movement some sort of unearned respect?
Do you want us banned for being blasphemers and heretics?
Don't tell me that you want us to raise our understanding of the movement and join you. That ship has sailed, due to the vitriolic attacks that your folk have hurled at us for many months. No, you don't want us to join you, so what do you want of us?
I'm still, I'm still Windy from the block.

Q
Think about it.

That's pretty much where I come down on the whole Q hysteria. I frankly don't buy it, because the entire exercise has produced exactly NOTHING in the way of any tangible results that directly benefit the American people, or the MAGA agenda.
Where is the valuable, final work product?
That is the question that ends the conversation, because there is none. Essentially, the emperor has no clothes.
No, I'm just asking a question. Where are the tangible results of all these millions of hours of collective brainstorming and autist analysis?
Where is the valuable, final work product?
There is none. The emperor has no clothes.
Thank you, VT. I feel exactly the same.
Did you really just say that?

Might be a Deep State operation to bait mentally ill Trump supporters into violence ‘when the time comes’.
Like those spam e-mails with bad grammar and misspelled words; the intent is to weed out the knowledgeable and suck in the gullible.
It's already happening. Qanon is tearing the Freeper community apart.
You just came off suspension for stalking me, and here you are again.
Leave me be, Bagster.
Next, you’ll be saying we’re violent...
I gather you didn't feel the need to assign me any penance?
I agree.
Amen. I thoroughly agree. It is an incredible psychological, sociological phenomenon pro and con.
How about y'all line that out real clear and let's have a look at it.
