As #QAnon has aged, it has become more and more radical.
Not just the calls for violence, or antisemitism-- though both of those are of course in the mix.
I'm talking about QAnon's own special version of radicalization, where Anons are pulled further and further from reality.

You can see it in the trends of "rising stars" in the Q community. Old voices start to seem dull while new voices, shrieking about ever-deeper layers of the conspiracy, break onto the scene. 
Joe M doesn't even post anymore.
Praying Medic posts less frequently.
Jordan talks more about woo than Q.
Meanwhile, voices like ChiefPolice and MajorDad and others are filling the gaps in the conversation. And they are true lunatics.

The accounts I started monitoring back at the beginning aren't really movers or shakers anymore. They're now, at best, intro courses: gateways to these new priests of QAnon, who are happy to dive into the real batshit stuff.
Basically, Anons were ready to learn about Xenu.

This is the engine of radicalization. Anons seem to be seeking out more insane theories to get their endorphin rush.
As they become accustomed to each level of "truth," they get bored with it, and wade a step further in. Soon they're drowning.

I mean back in June everyone is laughing at Utsava and QAnon was having a squabble over Ramtha.
Then Anons started voting with their clicks and follows and the Ramtha faction kinda won. Now a 10,000 year old reincarnated space guru has a seat at the Q table.

And now here we are. The superspy faction, once dominant, then simply in decline, is now almost dead.
So the new thought leaders with massive followings are either from the evangelical faction, or, increasingly, from the illuminati faction, and we can all observe what's happened: the evangelicals are being driven insane by the illuminatis.
Your meemaw is now talking about free Tesla energy and clones and orbital lasers and Pleiadians in the same breath as the Second Coming and the defeat of the antichrist. This was *unthinkable* two years ago.
I'm still synthesizing all this.
I don't have a finished conclusion.
It's just something to pay attention to.
But if the trend continues and any of them gets on to a school board it's going to be a problem.

Anons in my mentions: you're a liar, QAnon is a serious intelligence op
Me: the woman who claims to be an alien is getting more likes than the superspy accounts twice her size
