Trump Fans Are Suckers and QAnon Is Perfect for Them


Some people need a single, grand unifying theory of why the world refuses to line up with their expectations. When difficult realities confront people without the intellectual horsepower to understand and accept the truth, some turn to conspiracy theories to paper over the holes in their worldview. No matter how absurd, baroque, and improbable, conspiracies grow on their own like mental kudzu where inconsistencies aren't signs of illogical conclusions, but of another, deeper layer of some hidden truth, some skein of powerful forces holding the world in its grip.
Describes many right-wingers to a tee.

I half expect the right-wingers to come back with "deep state", "Russians are helping the Democrats", "Obama is a Muslim"....

From the link...
Quote:

Conspiracies—this one in particular—give their devotees a sense of coherence that is lacking in everything Trump does. QAnon presents Trump as the character he plays on TV; bold, commanding, strategic, and brilliant...as opposed to the real Donald Trump, who displays the dignity, intelligence, and honesty of a strip-club tout with tertiary syphilis.
Trump does remind one of Idi Amin...

This is why Trump will easily win 2020, because the more you bash us, the more likely we are to vote in huge numbers.
Conversely the media is making left-wingers think they have 2020 in the bag, thus complacency.

The QAnon people are crazy.

With Trump as President the Conspiracy theory nuts are out in full force.

Bill Maher was talking about QAnon in his monologue this week.

If Trump runs in 2020, who could beat him? If Trump doesn't run, we will get our first female president... Ivanka. The Trump dynasty is just beginning.

Half expect? I was blissfully ignorant of this QAnon until a few days ago. Apparently it not only explains American politics, but the works of the entire universe! CRAZY.

The article could very well describe the Bernie lovers, Hillary lovers and Obama lovers. The fact that some of you are obsessed with posting every small obscure article that portrays Trump in a bad light - well it's like the pot calling the kettle black - but you are so enmeshed in your belief that Trump and anyone ( white, black, Catholic, Muslim, rich, poor, Democrat or Republican) that voted for him are the nutcases speaks volumes of how skewed and brainwashed you are.


Everyday - we defend our position and you defend yours - it's quite boring and no discussion happens. The left are like cultists - only believing what the are told, meanwhile you've lost your own self worth and being able to think for yourself. The hate consumes you and wastes so much of your time that could be better spent finding and supporting what you feel would be a qualified candidate to run in 2020. You can't look in the mirror and see how your behavior really turns normal people off. There's enough hate in this world - and people want to focus on the good.

There is no "hidden" anything. Everything Q points to, through his questions, for the anons to dig up is in the public domain (in media stories, state and federal records, etc), hard to claim "hidden" when things are already out there for all to see. Since there is so much digging for info, most of us don't get involved with it. We might go and read once or twice a month, more or less, to see what's happening. One of the things that I liked didn't even have anything to do with the "deep state". It was a simple request from one of the anons to Q, asking him to ask Trump if he would say a certain off the wall comment in his speech, which Trump did say during his Easter speech. If nothing else it shows that Q may actually know Trump. Even with that I still don't know if Q is real but it is fun to watch and learn of things that the anons had dug up.

Obviously Q must have pointed to something that is dangerous for the "deep state". He's been around for quite awhile and the msm had been fairly quiet, until now. All of the leftist msm are suddenly talking about Q and going out of their way to try to discredit Q and his followers. Whatever it is it must be very harmful for the "deep state".


"When difficult realities confront people without the intellectual horsepower to understand and accept the truth"
Trump becoming president is an extremely difficult reality for those who lack the intellectual horsepower to understand and accept.

and some claim the Qanon people are nuts, lmao.

"some turn to conspiracy theories to paper over the holes in their worldview"

'Russia, Russia, Russia...no other country could have possibly done anything, just Russia.'
According to the lefties, Putin was leading Trump around .. but, no one seems to be able to say just how Putin and Trump had stayed in such close contact during the campaign for that to happen. Homing pigeons? Passed notes in class?

LOL. You claim I was wrong in believing that Trumpeters are nutcases and then proceed to write a post that starts by calling the Left, "cultists".

Yes, you're right - it's my job to find a candidate to run in 2020. Yes sir. This is a very un-nutcase thing to say. Yup.

Oh, it'd be funny if it isn't so pathetic.
