It would seem they are out-crazying him, encroaching on his turf and cutting into his profits.

According to researchers who study the real-life effects of the QAnon movement, the false belief in a secret plan for Jan. 20 is irking militant pro-Trump and anti-government groups, who believe the magical thinking is counterproductive to future insurrections.

Travis View, who hosts the QAnon-debunking podcast QAnon Anonymous, said Q supporters are waiting for a “miracle that prevents Biden from being inaugurated,” and it is beginning to grate on those anxious for more real-world conflict.

“I have seen some Trump supporters chastising people promoting QAnon-like conspiracy theories," he said. "It seems some Trump supporters are reassessing their coalition and laying judgment on the QAnon wing."

(Snip)

“I can’t believe the number of the gullible people who are still out there saying Q is going to run to the rescue in the next five days and you’re going to see military tribunals,” a user in one viral TikTok video said. “Look, I’m a full Trump supporter and I enjoyed reading all the stuff about the deep state and I believe most of it.”

Qanon is stealing the crazy spotlight. And without that? Who is Alex Jones?

Thats his brand and he never liked anyone else getting in on it either.

He was trying to discredit Q years ago. He should have leaned into it probably. Conspiracy theorists never run out of room for more layers and they never pass up an opportunity to be grifted.

There is no "Q"

Aliens, from their underground Nazi bases in Antarctica, have produced the Covid-19 nanobots being inserted into our bodies and our RNA sequences are being prepared for the upcoming takeover.

Assimilation, it's happening

Everything else is just distraction
