While some Qcumbers are still in thrall to the various conspiracy theories being pitched on right wing media (Trump will retake the presidency in a week, Biden is just a Trump puppet, the US is really a corporation and Trump is the secret CEO) a lot of them have realized they've been had and are beginning their recovery. This is a good story of a woman who almost made her child a "Qanon orphan" but realized in time that Qanon was a toxic false meme: https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/03/tech/qanon-mom-former-believer/index.html As time goes on we will see more and more of these people. And while it is tempting to mock and ridicule them for their former beliefs, accepting them back into reality with a little kindness could go a long way.
I was debating starting a thread about something similar to this. But you have saved me the trouble! I read this article tonight about children of QAnon followers, who are trying to deradicalise their parents.. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/children-of-qanon-believers_n_601078e9c5b6c5586aa49077
Those Q for have nothing invested in it Q for dont really care a-non/one to blame but everyone else its just another cult created by the same culture that creates megga churches evangelicals & the bible belt , ponsy schemes, pyramid schemes etc etc they are creating their own class inside a class system they need to be the upper class above all other classes how do they do that ? by creating their own bible & religion just like they have been raised to do. so they are doing it ... what i find quite interesting & would like to study when i have some time is their iconography of power systems where they define a demi god or supreme being in this case it is Donald Trump which seems very odd. partially i wonder if this is an act of appeasement to offer a free pass to the over all larger class system so they do not make themselves the outlier(& in turn as with the class system make themselves the victim/prey animal of the larger beasts that must predate on smaller animals to maintain their status & belief system) like a gang affiliation parasitic association ?
