(12,265 posts)Very deliberately brainwashed by Q, Fox, OAN and the rest. I hope they find Q soon, and if they do, my guess is they are Russian or Chinese operatives set out to cause division and chaos in America.
I am not giving these people a pass, not in the least, they should pay for their crimes and not just with probation but real felony jail time. The people who organized it are traitors to the United States and should be prosecuted as such. But it is important to realize that weak minds, lonely people, ostracized people are very vulnerable to this crap.

Watching television propaganda is a comfort zone, being confronted with reality is an assault on that bubble of delusions, and they become agitated and defensive. It is going to take a decade to cure these idiots.

(21,304 posts)he is publicly denouncing what he did on cable TV. I don't think he is a phony come to Jesus person.
Maybe what he is doing will make other Magats wake up. I live among Trumpers so I understand that they are like zombies so I really don't expect a mass exodus of people leaving Qanon, but maybe 1 or 2.

I'm sick and tired of these people's constant whinnying, moaning, etc. (mainly because they got caught). They tried to overthrow our government. They tried to install or continue rump's government, the ultimate winner in all of this, thus, he's the sole reason and cause all of this crap happened. rump is 100% responsible.
