QAnon explained (Vox). Holy smokes they've really lost it now.

I think most of us are aware of this crazed Q thing but last night I had to read up on it.

THIS is madness.

#QAnon, the scarily popular pro-Trump conspiracy theory, explained
How a conspiracy theory that Trump and Robert Mueller are secretly working together got from Reddit to Trump rallies.

The Russia investigation is a sham. It’s actually a cover story for special counsel Robert Mueller and Donald Trump working together to expose thousands of pedophiles hidden in plain sight — including Hillary Clinton (and Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama), who will soon be under arrest. (Or perhaps already have been and are on their way to Guantanamo Bay.)

The GOP lost the Alabama special election for Jeff Sessions’s Senate seat on purpose — a plan devised years ago to reveal the use of fraudulent voting machines and, ultimately, take down none other than George Soros. Or the Rothschilds. Or the Illuminati.

Welcome to QAnon, sometimes referred to as “the Storm.” It’s a conspiracy theory that’s swept social media and is starting to break into the mainstream, with Trump rally attendees in Florida on July 31 holding signs and wearing T-shirts emblazoned with “We are Q” and the conspiracy theory’s main catchphrase, “Where we go one, we go all.”








And it has one overarching — and, if you’re a Trump supporter, hopeful — message: Donald Trump is in complete control. Of everything.

Trump has been 25thed?
Impeached?
Lost reelection and has been indicted with money-laundering, conspiracy against the US, obstruction of justice and witness-tampering?

Just as he planned all along. Everything is going according to plan.

The speculation that "Q" is someone in the White House, or an associate--Stephen Miller, Bannon, Gorka... It's sad to see just how many suckers there are in this country.

They are putting out fake theories so that when the real story is put out by Mueller about Trump - that people will believe it is a fake story as well.

I have a feeling that we're going to find out things about Trump & the Repugs that is going to make some of the fake conspiracy theories that Q is putting out - look tame.
