Conspiracy Theory 'QAnon' Jumps To Primetime At Trump Rally

[edpc]

At President Trump's rally in Tampa on Tuesday night, a conspiracy theorist who has slowly gained popularity under Trump's presidency leaped into prime time — anonymous conspiracy theorist "Q."

Some attendees wore shirts with Q logos, while others held up posters promoting the theory: TV cameras even caught one person holding a sign reading “We are Q” as Trump stood in the background.

Oh good grief. Admitted 4Chan LARP purposefully making very vague or Captian Obvious posts and people still buy it.

I dunno.  Wearing a Q or "We are Q"  shirt might be taken the wrong way.   lolol

It could make for some fun Photoshop work.

I suspect the 4Chan kids who are playing this game are going to have some major lulz with all these suckers.

I am so leery of this guy.  His followers are evolving into sort of a cult.

[truth_seeker]

people that are old enough, to have stopped wetting their pants, know little or nothing about 4 chan.

If it bears any generational relationship with identity politics, SJWs and related lingo, of the social media era, it doesn't seem important in politics. Maybe computer play.

I don't know that much about him/them.  I pointedly ignored any threads about it previously.  Guess I need to get up to speed.

I wouldn't.  You know all you need to know.

4 chan has been around a long time in internet years. Started in '03 as the 4th iteration of a news bulletin board, which themselves had already been around for years.

It was kind of an underground where of all sorts of eclectic types got together and shared all sorts of alternative whatever.

They were pretty big till social media took over.

Check the QAnon hashtag on Twitter.  It's amazing.  People who don't believe it are "normies"; they're calling for the world to wake up from its delusion.  "We are Q!  Join us!  The Great Awakening is coming!"  It's a fever swamp.

In a nutshell--and I think I have it right---Trump is leading a secret investigation into a worldwide pedophilia ring which includes cannibalism of children.  The perps include the Pope and the British royal family, and of course George Soros and the Clintons.  He will imprison them all and bring about "The Great Awakening."

Yeah.... nah.   That's a conspiracy theory that I just can't wrap my brain around.

There won't be any awakening, great or otherwise.  Why?   Because there are too few of us that are awake and actually want to BE awake in the country now.

@XenaLee

Yeah, it’s almost a kind of pseudo-apocalyptic scenario with Trump as the deliverer.  The thing is, Q is just a role play thing, it’s fake.  There was a thread on 4chan where someone said it had gone far enough, was out of hand, etc.

It wouldn't be so if there were not an awful lot of people that want it to be.... for some reason.

Out of hand kinda describes a lot of things going on in this country right now, though.  I get the feeling there's a lot of ticking time bombs out there just waiting to go off.  And when it happens... count on the radical left to be right front and center, cheering it on and taking advantage of the chaos and mayhem.   You know....

Satan-like.

That's close (LOL).

I agree.  And I know what you mean...it's a feeling of things being stretched really taut, and the next thing might make them break.

A large, but active, segment of the population loves conspiracy theories and love believing they are 'in on' weird stuff happening that only they know about.

It makes them feel special.

Yeah... I know someone like that, only with her, instead of political conspiracy theories, it is religious prophecies that she sees on the internet or on tv spouted by the false prophet televangelists.  She reminds me of that 'hair on fire' animated gif at times.  Last time was when she called me re: some gigantic tsunami that was supposed to hit all the way up to Boston by January 20, 2017...lol.

Wow, you're right.  I'm sorry you can't feel that way. 

By the way, there is still the small matter of 40,000+ unexplained sealed federal indictments.  (Maybe they're mostly MS-13, but why have they stayed sealed?  Over 4,000 of them have been sealed for more than nine months.  [See pacer.gov])

The feds are definitely preparing for an unprecedented tsunami of prosecutions.  As Q has said, "Enjoy the show."   

[Emjay]

Totally amazed ... you are one of 'Them.'
