Oh, the media again. You mean Fox, Breitbart, Epoch times, Gateway Pundit, National Review, Sinclair, Newsmax, Washington Times.
Maybe you mean the media that you disagree with. And no one reads the National Enquirer for truth and honesty.

Ok, so you think the media is honest?
You put a lot of words in my mouth that I didn't say to attempt to justify an opinion.

Plenty of trumpers who post on here, and who i Know via facebook etc, will repost lots of qanon believers, many of them don't even know what qanon is, but they believe the conspiracies. We call them "q adjacent", as they aren't necessarily Q followers, but spread their misinformation willingly. Like the whole stuff about child trafficking is horrible, and they see it and think "hey child trafficking is horrible, i should repost this and get the word out"

And then if you call them out on this you're automatically labeled a pedophile enabler. Just one example.

But Trump himself knew they liked him and that was enough for him. Like the old Laugh In gag, blow in his ear and he'll follow you anywhere.

QAnon is just a person (or people). The movement that follows Q is tied to a whole plethora of conspiracy theories emanating from wherever, much of it from anti-ZOG blogs and message boards.

The verified quotes of an American Congresswoman are not "fake news".

I think the idea of jewish lasers seems as crazy as it sounds. But that's not the topic of this thread.

What does education have to do with it? “Educated” people fall for conspiracies all the time. It more about an emotional response and cognitive bias than education level. Liberals love to bring up conspiracies conservatives believe but there are just as many conspiracies liberals believe in.

Um, child trafficking is horrible and it’s a big problem, even here in the states. With the Super Bowl on the horizon the news was talking about how human trafficking always increases around the event. Asked people to be on the lookout for suspicious behavior. Not believing that doesn’t make you a pedophile but misinformed.

Qanon's conspiracy "theories" are just re-workings of the blood libels against Jews in medieval (and to this day) Europe, that Jews killed Christian children to use their blood to bake in Passover Matzohs, and that a Jewish cabal controls the world. These conspiracy lies are very useful in controlling people, mobilizing them to join in hatred of the "other" people. Just look at the Nazi party in Germany in the 20's and 30's.
im glad somebody else other than myself knows history thankyou
