Probably because conservatives will label anything as fake news if it comes from one source that they don’t like.

Not a bad idea actually.

If I found out my kids had serpent DNA I'd think it was cool as hell and try to get ahold of the X-Men academy.

Who is "trying?" to tie Qanon to conservative extremism?
I'm not trying to do anything, Qanon nutjobs tied themselves to Trump and the GOP on their own.

Most if not all Qanon followers believe the following:

"While QAnon encompasses a broad array of conspiracy theories, its followers generally believe that former President Donald Trump is fighting a deep-state of Satan-worshipping cannibals — including prominent Democrats and A-list celebrities — who are operating a child sex-trafficking ring"

Over 300 of the January 6th insurrection terrorists have direct ties to Qanon, to include the infamous "Qanon shaman.".

Qanon IS tied to far-right extremism, the two are intertwined. And sadly, many of the low-IQ, low information Qanon followers believe the lies and false information put out by Q.

Nobody cared when the two children were born that the father was loopy, they were a blessing. Now they're a tragedy.

It seems Americans are only loved and respected during two events: Birth and Death.

Lots of crazy people are actually very intelligent.

I don't know about this one.

Could be a crazy dumb ass.

"Hey, they'll say NBC is biased....so I'll also link CNN and ABC too!"

Um....you don't see the flaw there?

I mean, I never have known much about QAnon. This is the first I've heard they are/were teaching their devotees that people had snake/demon DNA.
The real problem is people reporting on what is happening, and not the fact that it IS happening or the people ACTUALLY saying and doing these things?

Just want to make sure I got that right.

I love the leap here!

A single nutcase does something and then its attributed to 74 million people

Thanks for standing on the graves of dead kids to try to score some silly political conspiracy theory points! Congrats!

There are about as many "Q" people in the country as "KKK" members, but the left is riveted by both and gin up story after story as if either is some national epidemic. HAHA!

You just chopped off the first 70% of that posters comments and left just enough to strawman what they wrote at the end into something entirely different.

Second, your politics has taken you so far down the rabbit hole that you feel no shame trying to use the insanity of a father murdering his kids to either make yourself feel superior or whatever other sad motivation is at play. Now you can certainly find examples of Qanon types doing the same thing so if you want to use that as an excuse and that you're not at fault because you're just like them....well I'd accept half that argument.
Indeed, this poster (with a wildly false name) constantly starts anti-Trump/Republican/conservative/moderate threads on a regular basis.
Kooks come in all stripes and ideologies, yet partisan fanatics only see the faults with the other side.
I am sure that if they harmed themselves or others claiming it was due to Biden's or (D's) leftist influence, it would be dismissed or rationalized by the OP.
Yet let a kook seem right leaning, and it is an indictment of the entire ideological philosophy or any (R) they can try to pin it on.
