‘I Miss My Mom’: Children Of QAnon Believers Are Desperately Trying To Deradicalize Their Own Parents
yahoo ^ | 02/14/2021 | Jesselyn Cook

Posted on 02/14/2021 11:11:26 AM PST by devane617

The 19-year-old began to notice changes in his mother’s behavior around the start of the coronavirus quarantine. She had always been a nervous woman: She stopped flying after 9/11 and had hovered closely to Sam and his two younger siblings for their entire lives. But during the pandemic, his mom’s fears spiraled from quirky to deranged. It has turned her into someone he hardly recognizes. Though she didn’t used to be very political, she now thinks Biden is a pedophile who stole the election. She’s scared of radiation from the 5G towers in her neighborhood and, as a white woman, she told her son, she’s afraid of being targeted and harmed by Black Lives Matter protesters — a movement she once supported.

There's a bigger need to deradicalize the Big Media believers.

FTA: But during the pandemic, his mom’s fears spiraled from quirky to deranged. It has turned her into someone he hardly recognizes. Though she didn’t used to be very political, she now thinks Biden is a pedophile who stole the election.

That’s hilarious. Mom took the red pill and now the left behind dopes want her to ignore what is obvious to her. Sorry kids, there is no going back.

And you don’t have to follow Q to think Biden is a creepy, sexual pervert who had the election stolen for him. I have taken the red pill and my family thinks I’m just fine.

I must admit, I have no idea what this Q’anon stuff is.

I see stuff Posted here that I ignore and I just roll my eyes when the Leftists act like this is something that 75 Million Americans believe in and follow.

It’s like them thinking that there are Millions of Klansmen running around the Country. There are more FBI fake Klansmen than there are Klansmen.

"as a white woman, she told her son, she’s afraid of being targeted and harmed by Black Lives Matter protesters."

Sensible woman. It's an open season on Whites and Asians by black hooligans. Too bad her children are so brainwashed that they would sacrifice their own mother's safety in the name of political correctness.

Although there’s limited data on the issue,.

...then why are you writing hundreds of words on the subject?

researchers believe

Who? Some woke dude with Excel? A jackwagon like Frank Lutz? Inquiring minds want to know, but we get no answer. But we get this breathless opinion-disguised-as-fact rant that...

QAnon has ensnared millions of Americans and is especially popular among baby boomers who are struggling with digital literacy.

Huh? What? Qanon isn't being promulgated via pamphlets, underground printed magazines, or town criers. You NEED DIGITAL LITERACY to get that Q stuff (self-disclosure: I think Q is utter crap).

Here's the key sentence:

HuffPost spoke to nine children of QAnon believers in seven states, ranging in age from 19 to 46.

WOW...now THAT is hard-core, data-driven research. A (likely) cherry-picked/non-random sample of nine people who are emotionally impacted by parents who are MIA.

So, in short, conservative Boomer parents aren't as wicked tech-savy as their hippie bretheren and joined a cult and abandoned their children.

It's almost impressive that they jammed that much hate into one article.

Like in the old Soviet Union, the left is trying to treat opposition to their agenda as a mental disorder, whereas they themselves are every bit as crazy as those they persecute.

I notice that they want to give the impression they aren’t just making it up, so they stress that privacy will be protected with fake names unless otherwise noted.
So you finally come to a “real” name, and it’s just the first name! Ha! Why bother? Oh, to make it seem “documented”.

They use screen shots of online conversations and texts to make it seem real - but the same people who fake the news for us daily can just type out fake conversations and take screen shots.

The “gateway drug” the article identifies, the groundwork that sets the stage for cult membership is that, “QAnon proponents are conditioned to believe that their rights are being infringed upon — Silicon Valley is silencing them, the press is lying to them, Democrats are cheating them — and that they should do something about it. “

Supposedly they are all scared of Q. Meanwhile, back on planet Earth, they control

1. The White House
2. The DOJ
3. The NSA
4. The FBI
5. The CIA
6. Congress
7. SCOTUS soon
8. The voting scheme
9. The media industrial complex
10. The entertainemnt industry
11. Social media
12. Search engines

Yeah, I’m sure they quake in their boots over a poster who kept boomers passive while they stole everything.

Look. I am as skeptical as any other normal person is against Qtards.

But articles like this are just beyond the pale stupid in their lame attempts to ridicule conservatives.

Perhaps that’s what bugs me the most. The idea that Qtards are being portrayed by the main stream media as average conservatives.

Hi.

I can’t say that I know much about the Qanon movement, but I can say it scares the shit out of the democrats and their enablers in the media.

Why, I do not know.

Fun to watch.

Good point, FRiend. I absolutely wouldn’t be surprised. Libs love to tall morality tales, and have no problem making up concerned people to populate their fairy tales.

They could’ve wrote a story about the Never Trumper groups kids and wives missing their Pedo fathers who abuse little boys and spent their non-abuse time going after Trump.

Those peeps have zero Family Interaction.

They’re obsessed and consumed with little boys and getting Donald Trump

“ they’d get into furious arguments at the dinner table as, incredulous, he tried to debunk them.”

Perhaps her son was participating in radical thoughts and behavior. Is that not possible ?

“ there is no kid and there is no Mom. I’d bet dollars to donuts the entire story is made up.”

I agree with your assessment
