They're afraid to tell the real truth!

What do you know. Another Fox clown with foot in mouth disease.

5th column. If I was Biden and if elected I would do whatever it takes to shut those brainwashing machines down. Fact is they are killing people.

What has QAnon uncovered of any value so far? Puzzled.

I prefer the clown world brigade.

Imagine actually believing that your social media echo chamber was real life, and that's what Qanon has uncovered.

I'm not entirely sure why you responded to me with that?

We should give them a case of boot on the ass disease as we kick their asses out the door.

Thats amusing to me because its fairly obvious some sort of secret power has been manipulating Donald and the Republican party for many years yet they have been very good at convincing their brainwashed zealots everyone else is being backed by mysterious powers.

It's Fox News, so of course it did. You don't need Foreign interference, it's in the house already.

What’s funniest to me about Qanon is that the right picked the absolutely most stupid imaginable conspiracy theory to latch on to. As someone who used to lead a lot of 4chan, this is so incredibly obviously something someone invented to fuck with people.

It's Hitler's theory of the big lie in action. The more preposterous the lie, the easier it is to sell because people won't believe you had the mendacity to just make it up. He says it better than I can-

All this was inspired by the principle—which is quite true within itself—that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.
It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.

Shee-it, Sherlock. You're dealing with Birther/Benghazi believers who thought that electing a liar, a cheat, a thief & an obvious con artist to the Presidency was a great idea.

I tend to take that in the context of people who would presumably otherwise be viewed as credible. When the homeless guy on the corner is screaming that lizard people gang banged his cyborg grandma I don’t think ‘maybe he’s on to something, that’s way too crazy to lie about!’

Qanon might as well be that guy, huh? Well, if that guy had an army of trolls & bots to promote his raving on social media, anyway. And some help from Fox & Eric Trump, of course.

Right. It's so normal, Cucker Tarlson is in on it now too: https://gizmodo.com/tucker-carlson-defends-doctor-who-says-demons-steal-sem-1844540937

They've gone completely batshit, you'd ordinarily think. It's completely rational though (even if their content isn't), of course. They're selling a product, for profit, and the product is deception and lunacy all rolled into one.

lol indeed! This is the new world, where lies are truth, and freedom is slavery.
