At the risk of irritating Aspie1 (sorry), I would suggest he does know some (most?) of the things he writes are baseless. But there have been many positive effects to his personal life from buying in to a certain mindset, so he's going to own it and stick to it. I recommend stating your disagreement with the point and then letting it go. Let him feel happy. He's kind of indicated elsewhere, if I recall correctly, that he wouldn't do anything drastic, destructive, violent or dangerous (obviously important qualifications to my recommendation), and I don't see him winning converts here (not that I see all), so its his life, his choice. IMHO.
You didn't irritate me. :) The theories I suggest are true, but I also realize that it's like convincing a Jewish person that Jesus is the son of god. :D And you couldn't be more right: Q has had an extremely positive effect on my life since the day I joined it. It gave me my social life back. It gave me new friends. And it made me feel safe to discuss how I really feel about Biden-19, knowing I have like-minded friends who have my back.

You were doing okay before QAnon, going on cruises and stuff.

Those avenues were gone with the pandemic, and he needed something else to get through it.

I wish he'd found something other than Q but it is what it is. Consider it a window into why the movement got popular.

Yeah.....I understand all that...but still....the absurdity of the belief....and the negative impression it gives to humanity in general, whatever one's political persuasion.

It's a window into human psychology, and survival, true----but there still such thing as critical thinking.

Of course, Democrats are realizing that Biden-19 is causing a lot more damage than they planned for. It was, after all, cheaply made in China, so its quality sucks. They planned to use the virus to help Biden win, then let it burn itself out after the election. But that didn't happen. So now they're pushing vaccines to reduce the damage they caused.
Lies.

All lies.

Now you're speaking my language! :thumleft:

I have a hunch it's also why those protests got popular as well. People were getting cabin fever, and were desperate to do something active and social. But unlike the underground Q, those protests were front and center in the mainstream media like CNN.

The problem is......is that loneliness makes people suggestible, and makes them get into idiot things.

That's happened to me.

This is when you REALLY have to do your critical thinking.

On the other hand, Biden's poll numbers are dropping because he cannot solve COVID.

Frustration is at an all time high; Biden's falling poll numbers
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics ... story.html

So these people are human sacrifices to bring Biden's poll numbers down.

That was the reason behind the lockdowns and the social distancing: it was supposed to make everyone lonely, to make people more receptive to the Great Reset and the New World Order the Democrats created.

Funny how it backfired with me. Instead of embracing those things, I joined QAnon. Kiss my poop-crusted butt, Democrats!

Is this the New New World Order? The militia movement says the Democrats created the New World Order in the 90s.

It’s all baseless conspiracy theories.

IMHO

Ps - I was lucky, I wasn’t lonely. Both my adult kids were home and we had some really special times as a family. One last chance before they spread like seeds in the wind.
