There are a few things I saw repeat across the replies.
Many people reported March being a pivotal moment. One person described their mom losing her job, spending more time on social media, and becoming a QAnon believer.

Then there are the respondents themselves. They were from everywhere, even outside the US. The youngest was 16, the oldest, 82.
It wasn't just baby boomers, either, which is the common refrain.
One person, 71, wrote in to say he lost a friend of 40 years to QAnon. But plenty more people in their 20s and 30s also said they've lost lifelong friends.

Finally, none, *none* of the almost 200 respondents said they successfully brought their family members back to reality.
The responses to the callout were just gutting to read. I kept looking at them until very late last night. Hope you read them, too. buzzfeednews.com/article/janely…

And thank you, thank you, thank you to all who shared their stories. You're, by far, not alone in all of this.
