This is absolutely correct. One of the primary messages I see in the most extreme MAGA QAnon-adjacent forums is "get involved in your school board".
These people think national elections are rigged but that there's still a chance to win in ultra-local politics to shape the next generation.
Some are inside the GOP like @MelissaRyan describes here. But there's also a lot who'd describe themselves as independents (or "Patriots"), who love Trump, hate the GOP and see themselves as the vanguard.

I'm seeing this mostly in conspiracist hard MAGA places like T_D, rather than 'full QAnon' forums/groups. But there's plenty of crossover there.

I don't love sharing rumours but this is a developing situation. All unconfirmed. Seems like an attempted rocket attack, possibly on Israel's Dimona nuclear plant, possibly from Syria. There were rocket sirens and it looks like interceptors were fired.
Now there are unconfirmed reports of an Israeli response in Syria. All of the details I just shared might be wrong, though. I'm just checking the door on the bomb shelter at 2:25am.
...or this could all be because of an errant Syrian anti-air rocket

QAnon influencer GhostEzra posting lists of Jews (and people married to Jews, and people who *might* be Jews) in media, marked with little Stars of David, to his 300,000 followers under the title "Mossad media matrix".
Most of the subscribers are very much on board with the antisemitism.

"I hope they all got the “shots” or the rope!", says one.

But others worry it will alienate people.

"Yes, more Jew-Bashing should grow the channel and awaken people", comments someone sarcastically.
Anons note that some prominent Trump-supporting conservatives are Jewish (@benshapiro and Laura Loomer are mentioned).

But others push back. "Fuck Ben Shapiro. He's a DC swamp rat", says GHOSTCHAT, one of GhostEzra's more vocal fans.

Fascinating. Is it all falling apart already?
Yup, now Man City's out too .
If Barcelona is gone too, this thing is surely dead. The revenues promised become even more impossible without Barca's star power. It's done.

Ivanka Trump's vaccine pics are continuing to freak out QAnon. They're circulating posts from a fake Ivanka Trump profile (20k followers) on Telegram, which claims the vaccination wasn't real. ImageImage
QAnon influencer GhostEzra goes further. He says "Ivanka got her shot" doesn't mean a vaccine. This is an old reference his followers understand: saying someone "got their shot" means they were a bad guy executed by the Trump team. Big claim to make about Ivanka. Image
Plenty of GhostEzra's subscribers understand his message, but they're also confused by it. Until now they've been told Ivanka is a good guy, on Trump's side. Why was she executed? ImageImageImageImage

This is irresponsible journalism. The vaccines make it much less likely to catch the virus, and much less likely to get symptomatic Covid. But they aren't magic. Some people will still get sick, and it's not news when they do. nypost.com/2021/04/11/nj-…
In this case, the sick person had the J&J shot on 6 March and had symptoms on 1 April. He would have contracted the virus even earlier. That's less than the 4 weeks for the vaccine to be considered 'fully effective' in its own terms.
Once a country has vaccinated millions of people, you see infections among the vaccinated. In Israel, 22% of the serious Covid-19 cases in hospital were vaccinated. But the other 78% come from the 15% of the adult population that's still unprotected.

A QAnon Telegram channel with 125k subscribers has turned into an Elon Musk Bitcoin scam. This channel used to be called Great Awakening, but now it's pushing out advance-free fraud stuff instead.
The same blockchain address was previously used by the fake General Hyten telegram account, which suggests that both were operated by the same person, who's just switched from QAnon stuff to Bitcoin scams.
The same scammer operates at least one more known channel which I noticed in February.
