The far left and the far right agree that everyone in between is merely a mark to be fleeced with all of the scams, schemes, grifts, fundraisers, crappy products, fraudulent investments, and pieces of content that Heaven will allow.
"Well, actually, the Krassensteins' politics..." - just stop. The only thing anyone knows them from is being anti-Trump and a major part of "the resistance" to him on social media. What else matters about them?
Nobody dedicated to fighting Donald Trump should be retweeting crypto investment schemes from a far right activist who led the campaign to overturn his election loss. What they all call themselves doesn't matter.
Speaking as a liberal, it is deeply disturbing how we don't realize how much the left has become infested with frauds, scammers, and conspiracy theorists. We call it out on the right, and miss it completely on the left.

Holy crap, Q was right! The government IS infested with sex traffickers and pedos.

nytimes.com/2021/03/30/us/…
Q mentioned Gaetz twice, "Q"-ing two tweets about impeaching Rod Rosenstein and George Soros handing out cash to Honduran immigrants.

No mention of the alleged sex trafficking and pedophilia, though.
A retrospectively super awkward recent shout out to accused pederast Matt Gaetz from a major QAnon promoter.

I get into Q proofs in THE STORM IS UPON US. One easy one to debunk are "deltas" between Q drops and Trump tweets. Short version: Trump tweeted a lot at regular times. If Q made drops during those times, some would invariably go up at almost the same time. It proves nothing.
If two unrelated statements go up at around the same time because one poster gamed out the times when the other poster made their statements, what is that supposed to prove? Most "deltas" not only say nothing, but aren't meant to say anything.
The point of "Q Proofs" is quantity, not quality. No one proof is especially compelling (though the McCain death one gets close). But Q believers will hit you with dozens or hundreds, and you give up on dealing with them. It's why debating a QAnon believer is pointless.

It was so easy for Democrats. Just give people money. When debating between less money and more money, pick more money. Not one single Republican vote was required to just give people money.

Instead, we have...whatever we have.
Sure, Republicans were going to do silly things to keep the money from being given to people. But Democrats have the votes. Just pick an amount that will be helpful to people and vote! What are majorities for if not that?
Do Democrats really believe that fewer people will vote for them if more people are given money? People like money! People vote for politicians who give them money! If anything, they should be giving too much money to people! Compete with each other to give the most away!

Post March 4th, there will be another date QAnon believers think Trump will return to office. And another after that. Q is a prophetic movement based on a great change event, and we're going to have to learn how to not panic every time some Q guru "divines" the next date.
We're all on edge after 1/6, but great dates that come with hype and leave in silence are the currency of both affinity frauds (which Q is based on) and prophetic movements (which Q is). These people will wait as long as they have to for the prophecy to be realized.
QAnon and its mythology of a stolen election protecting a pedophilic deep state from mass destruction is now as much a part of GOP orthodoxy as "Hillary lied, 4 men died." We've got to find a way to push back against it without running in circles every time a date appears.

Remember all those people who knew the stage at CPAC was *definitely* patterned after a Nazi rune? They were *definitely* wrong.
Some other infestations of Nazi horror designed by those fascists at Design Foundry: the Mandela 100 Years Gala and the Biden Cancer Summit.
Nobody's going to admit they were wrong because, hey, it's Twitter. But it's clear that Design Foundry designed the stage, the ACU approved it, and it wasn't meant to look like a Nazi rune. Now can we please go back to hating CPAC for its ideas, not its stage design?

It's more complicated than this. I don't have compassion or pity for the Capitol attackers. They chose insurrection over democracy. But many QAnon believers are trapped in their own fear of a cold and changing world that offers no easy answers, only an endless stream of enemies.
QAnon offers these people answers to their questions, a community of those who think the same things they do, and a way to strike back at those seen as keeping them down. Yes, it's a racist and anti-Semitic mythology. But they genuinely don't see it.
I would never tell anyone their anger toward coercive movements like Q is misplaced. But not all Q believers are the same. Some are violent and authoritarian, others are just looking for someone to tell them everything is going to be okay.
