    1. I just want to point out that I never put any stock in q anon. The fact that CNN says that it’s fake now has me wondering if it’s true. Yes CNN is propoganda 🤯

    1. If religion can make people believe in talking snakes, it doesn’t surprise me that they would also believe in crazy conspiracy theories

    1. I know! Those inner city people need to start graduating high school. Thier graduation rate is 46%. That definitely make since why they voted for Biden.

    2. Conservatives refuse to learn critical thinking skills, remember they believe the earth is 6,000 years old and was created. 🤣🤣🤣

    1. I don’t think qanon has to do with prejudice. I guess you didn’t even watch the interview and don’t know much about how people can get sucked into cults or be manipulated.

    2. CNN covered Capitol Hill riot, but not Portland’s riot. CNN is biased & brain washed viewers. You only see one side, sadly

    3. @J B They have that right. The first amendment is about the federal government prohibiting the right to free speech. So, this is not a free speech issue.

    4. @Ant Clerfont Racism and slavery wasn’t created by whites. The Bible talks about slavery a lot. Maybe you should do some research. And every race hates one or more races. That’s how humanity is. And no law or rule will ever change that.

    1. @TheTruth trump whole campaign was bulit on division …blue lives matter to fox oan etc but officers died during your seige

  1. When follow this kind of bad epistemology to its source you always end up standing in front of a church.

    1. Not really. Some of the most ardent Q followers I know are deep into the New Age/ holistic wellness movement and would go nowhere near a traditional church. Many of them are now saying that Biden is part of the plan.

    2. yeah the church of the internet ……..look at the censorship now………..oh no psychological operations never happen against the masses ……..4 years ago you all were told not to follow this and that Trumps job was to pay the banksters back that bailed him out over the years .

    1. Like nobody even know what qanon is about, I dont get why cnn spends so much time talking about a fringe right person

    2. Bad part is media fueled it. Have you heard about the Biden impeachment? Nope, wonder why, they are bias. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed articles of impeachment yesterday for Biden. Remember Ukraine when he got the investigator fired so they’d get their money. That’s called abuse of power. But your media won’t tell you that.

    3. I just want to take a moment to remind everyone that CNN has such a bad reputation for false news that the fact they’re reporting on this conspiracy theory is akin to an admission that q anon is factual.

    4. CNN covered Capitol Hill riot, but not Portland’s riot. CNN is biased & brain washed viewers. You only see one side, sadly

  2. That qanon “storm” sounds a lot like very classic fascism. We’ve seen this over and over in lots of dictatorships, throughout the world and times.

    1. @Muru Roa No, I’m calling you an idiot in a long winded manner. Having to point it out only makes it funnier.

  3. Just as some are prone to drug addiction, could it be that some are more prone to mental addictions? We better find out.

    1. I doubt it , look at history with people like Hitler or Pol Pot and many others. They can convince the majority of a population under certain conditions.

  4. Good on this man for coming forward and coming clean. He ripped off the band-aid and he’ll be better for it.

    1. @Bee Logical you people always swear to God y’all know what liberals are thinking when you simply don’t. All you do is project while simultaneously get you news from Facebook and 4chan. You are a dummy.

    2. @Bee Logical You’re the victim of a disinformation campaign and you’re clearly too dumb to realize it. I hope for you’re own sake that one day you will grow up and realize it.

    3. @GodzUnit01 That is not stuttering. That is straight up having no idea what state you are in, what your wife’s name is and not being able to read of a script. His brain is gone and you can clearly see this but are too ignorant to admit it. Embarrassing.

  5. Fantastic to know you’ve freed yourself from Q conspiracy. Wishing you ever happiness.

    1. I just wanted to point out that CNN has such a bad reputation for fake news that them reporting on q anon is effectively an admission of it being true. Personaly I never put any stock in q anon now I’m wondering if it’s actually true now that CNN has said that it’s a lie 🤔

    1. The world is divided into leaders and followers. QAnon people are followers. They’re cultists, who want someone else to do the thinking for them.

    2. @Shiro Ishii Wow, are you a real japanese that is christian and not only goes to church but actually believes in the Bible? I think it’s the first time that I find one.

    3. true, but its important to remember there are other factors that go into this. for starters the need to belong. the trump cult targets very specific people mainly racists, karens, privileged individuals, evangelicals and so on. what happens is the person already have a crapy opinion or, in the most tragic cases, they’re completely new to a concept and end up being attacked for asking questions because people think they’re purposely being rude. (this happened to my younger brother, he managed to get out before things got so messy.)

      point is, they ultametly become outcasts from there families and dig themselves deeper into there opinions/beleifs until they are rejected and trap themselves in there own bubble.

      so when they find someone, let alone a group that agrees with them, they join it. cults rely on a lot more but there are two main things that I think pretain to this. isolation, and community the cult has pushed themselves in further by surrounding themselves with the same opinion. replaceing facebook with patriot, and only watching certain news as most of it is “fake.”

      there’s also the whole surrounding yourself with this in some cases you may have to rely on people with these views and that can be bad. I realize there two different things but the jahova witnesses will shun members who break the rules, no matter the age. this is to ensure no new points of views make it in but also creates a fear that going agenst the grain will lead to you loseing your home.

      simply put you enter because of the depresson or lonlyness you feel and stay in fear of losing that.

      As for the capitol storming, allow me to use a dark example, the koolaid, if you know what jones town is you may already see where I’m going with this.

      simply put, the kool aid was poisoned. I don’t know the details but I do know there were people who drank it and people who didn’t and were forced to. weather they knew or not, an amount of those people trusted the leader, jim jones enough to drink it. not all of them, but a amount of them.

      the capitol is similar in idea, Trump was giving nods and hints he wanted people to storm. there were people who actually did. those were the extremists, who trusted trump with their lives. I am in no way saying any one involved with the capitol or who still beleave in him should be forgiven. I just want to recognize that this group is. in fact a cult. now one knowingly joins a cult, they fall into it.

  6. Qanon is just proof positive that weak minded people will believe anything if you just say it with enough conviction.

  7. I cannot wrap my brain around the Q anon beliefs. The more I read, hear and watch, just leaves me baffled as to how can anyone buy into this. Also people pay money for Q merch. So it’s a business for some folks. Bigly sad.

  8. It would be hilarious if they found out “Q” was some 15 year old sophomore living in Wisconsin named Quentin putting out theories on his computer in his basement bedroom. This is how believable their theories are.

    1. @donald noell CNN is worse than Q. Just watch their propaganda when Trump was in Power. All the same shite with Don Lemon, Jimmy Pimmel, Alec Boldwig etc. Its the CNN rhetoric thats breaking the country apart. Now it time for reckoning.

  9. The Lord says;
    “The former President will never return & the Presidency of the current will be annulled as though it never happened.”
    Amos 3:7
