Here's the evidence that QAnon is an elaborate prank being played on gullible Trump-loving Boomers

Is QAnon the self-purported government insider who is revealing President Donald Trumps supposed plans to blow the lid off of a global pedophile ring actually just an elaborate prank being played on gullible Trump supporters?
BuzzFeed News reporter Ryan Broderick has done a good deal of detective work and has put together some compelling evidence that QAnon may have been created by left-wing pranksters as part of a joke conspiracy theory that happened to succeed beyond their wildest expectations.
In particular, Broderick points out that the QAnon conspiracy theory bears some striking similarities to the plot of a novel called Q that was written by a group of Italian leftists going under the name of Luther Blissett back in the late 1990s.
In fact, the similarities between the two are so strong that three of the authors of the book Roberto Bui, Giovanni Cattabriga and Federico Guglielmi tell Broderick that they would not be surprised if someone used their book as the inspiration for the QAnon conspiracy.

How easily tRump supporters will believe in these far out and easily disproved conspiracy theories but will remain steadfast in their denial of their hero being an outright traitor by his own admission and acts to the country they 'supposedly' love.
