How much of that is due to the lack of reliable sources of news? If the news and the govt lie to you on a daily basis, its not totally unreasonable to be a little paranoid. and the paranoia is not unique to either side of the political spectrum.
There are far far too many that buy into the cuckoo for cocoa puff conspiracy notions put out there by Q. But then again there are also far too many on the left that gobble up critical race theory and that’s just as scary and untethered from reality, IMO
There is another thread on it and Yes we do. Probably a few more than are willing to admit it
Is it the Q group that believes in man made global warming? Or is it the group that believes in Russia colluded with the winner of the 2016 presidential election?
They have Grand Poobah's, not Head Bison's.
Wait.
Nevermind. I cannot tell the difference between Antifa and the Capitoleers. None look like they want to hold a job and work. Except the guy on the right who wore his work credentials, lol. And the Grand Poobah in the middle won't eat in jail because his mommy says he gets sick if he doesn't eat vegan. Isn't that the definition of a snowflake?
And, with that, off to the politics board it goes.
I had a wacko ex FIL who thought black army helicopters would be used to capture Americans for UN slave labor camps. There are some real wackos out there.
I’ve been saying for a couple years the normalization of crazy ass conspiracy theories is really dangerous.
Mostly I just get people here telling me I’m crazy though. But it’s what lead to storming our Capitol and lots of people here, college educated, not having a problem with it. People saying it’s public property so of course people could break into windows and kill cops to get in.
What’s interesting here is watching people group all dems into some group while saying not all republicans are Q. And not seeing the hypocrisy in that.

This is Q.
QAnon managed to successfully unite large swathes of the conspiracy web—pro-Trump imperial cultists, Christian fundamentalists, amateur race theorists, fascists, hardcore anti-Semites, gullible suburbanites, moon landing truthers, coal rolling neo-Confederate dirtbags, anti-vax quacks, you name it—under one big tent: that Donald J. Trump is a brilliant strategist, possibly anointed by God, fighting an Underworld-style secret war against a child-raping cabal of Democratic politicians and Hollywood celebrities. The theory was based on an unknown individual or individuals using the moniker “Q”, supposedly a high-ranking national security or military official, who posted riddle-like missives to fringe internet boards that were just vague enough for adherents to cook up and debate their own interpretations. Thus essentially gamified in nature, it spread wildly on social networks including Facebook and Twitter, rewarded promoters with monetization opportunities, inspired numerous crimes and other acts of violence, and motivated many in the crowd that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 in a failed insurrection.

And BLM being founded as a Marxist organization got nothing. Same time ANTIFA tore down the country for years with anarchist motives, actions and eventual outcomes and you of all people said nothing even critical of them. You find a small group of ineffective cast away weirdos and have to showcase them as if they are some threat.
The violence and hatred you seem to ignore from the democrats and absolute condemnation of anything objective of conservatives is typical of you and your party. It’s blatant ignorant and should be embarrassing if you had any dignity
You already forgot who violently breached the Capitol Building to halt the constitutional duty of Congress.
There are plenty of places you can read the whole Q story but to summarize, these people believe that there is a secret cabal of satan worshipping politicians, bankers, and Hollywood elite that are all pedophiles who traffic and drink the blood of children and President Trump was fighting to bring down the system. Q is thought to be a military intelligence operative that tells his followers the behind the scenes info on how Trump is doing all of this. It would all be funny except we have a growing number of people including sitting members of Congress who buy into this. Qanon isn’t Trump’s fault although much like the Proud Boys stuff, he doesn’t do himself any favors by retweeting their stuff and pretending to not know who they are rather than just denouncing them and moving on.
I find it cute that so many continue to describe the events on January 6th as a failed insurrection or failed coup attempt.
A group of nutjobs breached the Capitol security and essentially took over the building for a relatively short period of time. They were a small percentage of the overall crowd that was in the central part of D.C. that day.
If the masses had intentions of a coup attempt that day, everyone in Congress would have been taken. And there would have been nothing that could have prevented it.

No. I’m not fixated on a small group of wackos that had about a 5 hour spotlight. BLM amd antifa had an entire summer and were egged on by democrat politicians and crickets from your side. It’s stupid. Domestic terrorist burned this nation for a year and not one dissenting note from any democrat. In fact the democrats set up funds to bail them out of jail and provided them with lawyers. Those organizations are just as culpable at being enemies of this state as these little boogeymen you are showing feigned outrage over. It’s stupid but typical of your side and you simply can’t fathom your hypocrisy. It’s typical but you seem to be oblivious to it all
What would you call the the attack on Seattle and Portland? I would call it a protest and riot like they did in other cities. What would you call the event when 5 officers were killed during a BLM’s event in Dallas? If you can’t see the media pushing an agenda then you don’t want to see the truth.
Really stretching there, aren't you.
Nothing I said implies condoning the breach of security at the Capitol.
No one is condoning it but we are not falling for the media BS. Are you condoning all the deaths at the riots and protests in 2020? Are you condoning the takeover of downtown Seattle and the deaths that happened during that? Are you condoning the deaths that have happened during the riots in Portland? Do you condone the killing of the officers during the BLM protest in Dallas. Quit being over dramatic.
The inability to appreciate two different things can be wrong continues to fascinate me.
Little bit like "other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?"
Interesting but not surprising certain people trying hard to play down the insurrection of the nation’s Capitol as tiny group of weirdos that don’t represent Republicans but Antifa is the central hub of the dem party.
so dumb but predictable
so dumb but predictable
Not at all what I said but typical that’s how you read it. I thought antifa was an idea
"No. I’m not fixated on a small group of wackos that had about a 5 hour spotlight. "
Referring to the violence and takeover of the Capitol only as "a 5 hour spotlight" is nothing short of being an apologist of the worst kind.
I know you wish that spotlight was on Antifa or BLM instead, but you need to get over it.
I think you need to understand the definition of being over it. I am. You obviously aren’t
