1/ I'm seeing lots of discussion about/chronicling of implosion of QAnon. And, yea, I get it. Q people are bugging out.

But, much of analysis I'm seeing I think is missing something really significant and the most durable/lasting aspect of the Q conspiracy...

2/ The Q conspiracy had a few aspects: a) Q had secret info; b) that Trump has secret plan; c) that Democrats and media were pedophilic inter-dimensional demons and/or psychic vampires; d) that the global elite was conspiracy to run massive child sex rings for these dark forces.

3/ Yes, aspects of conspiracy that centered around Q or revolved around Trump's secret plan are unraveling for many -- and freak outs reflect that.

But keep in mind: the rest of the conspiracy has so deeply seeped in that it's almost taken as a given among this group, distinct.

4/ While the Q and Trump secret aspect are challenged and the community will atomize as a result of that.

The other aspects of conspiracy have been deeply internalized by its adherents. The global elites/dems/media as pedophilic interdimensional demons endures.

5/ So, what's this mean. Well, some parts of Q community will endure, others will adapt. But then the people freaking out today, they don't suddenly have an epiphany. In a few weeks, demon pedophile stuff will increasingly infect all sorts of covid/public health discussions.

6/ tldr; pieces of Q will endure, but the rest will take the demon pedophile stuff ... and they will move to other communities/discussions. And, some will also just fast track to more violent extremism and much more explicit antisemitism.

7/ I guess what I'm getting to is: Q and Trump pieces are a key parts of it, but also remember aspect of QAnon conspiracy RE media/democrats/elites are pedophilic inter dimensional demons. Too often that gets lost. No recent events have challenged that aspect for adherents.
