THIS is an important interview to watch. Why?
It shows why the fierce loyalty to Trump, even behind bars: because the media picked on him. He identifies with that.
This says one thing: it's time to say the quiet part out loud.
Talk about the mob&where QAnon really came from.

Note: in my dissertation on the role of language in radicalization, written pre-9/11, one of the main factors I uncovered that facilitated radicalization was the perception of experienced trauma.
Not necessarily REAL trauma, but PERCEIVED trauma.
That's what QAnon feeds on.

Targeting both white males who identify with the perceived traumatic experiences of being 'picked on' in school, as well as males + females who have legitimately experienced sexual trauma who hope for the promise of ending child sexual predation
Journalists need to understand and undermine this narrative of Trump as victim and Trump as Savior of Children by sharing the truth that colors their reporting:
Trump is a mob-linked serial sexual predator who directly participated in the sex trafficking of young girls.
Trump is a mob-linked serial sexual predator who directly participated in the sex trafficking of young girls.
Survivors of sexual abuse who follow Pizzagate+QAnon need to know that it was created not to help children, but as a protection racket designed to help cover for Trump's own involvement in child trafficking.
They need to know that they are being used to PROTECT the predators.
They need to know that they are being used to PROTECT the predators.
Those who empathize with Trump because journalists "pick on" him need to know the reason why you pick - because there are decades of history and personal experiences that those of you IN media have had that may not meet journalistic rigor or be backed by 3 independent sources...
Predators don't just rely on the demand for multiple sources confirming your stories.
They thrive on it.
They thrive on it.
Journalists need to show the real impacts of Trump's predation on real people, to show who the true victims are.
If you don't, YOU are just as responsible for perpetuating the risk of QAnon + other types of extremist violence done at the hands of Trump supporters.

p.s. you might also want to look into how many of those involved in promoting Pizzagate/QAnon full-time have 'careers' in modeling/acting/as social media 'influencers' or media personalities - and see who their patrons have been in recent years.
I sure hope @FBI will be too.
