1. Dangerous? A prank? Who knows? This does go back to a fundamental question...

that I've asked of people in person and on line, "Have you ever considered that you are being lied to?"

2. Wow, SMH

A real special kind of stupid there.

9. boy

howdy!

3. They can't accept they've been hoodwinked by a narcissistic moron, because that would make them look

stupid. So they invent an absurd, convoluted, internally-contradictory theory to validate their support for the Orange Buffoon. We are witnessing mass insanity. This is not good.

4. They need a new daddy/protector

Trump ain't doing it for them so well so they've found another. This is a sign harsh reality (Mueller; failed policies; no wall) is closing in. Anything to cling to. Children often have invisible friends and magical thoughts. These people have them too because they just haven't grown up. What is charming in the innocent is toxic in the corrupt.

5. Just out of morbid curiosity...

Were there similar freaks in support of the Nazi Party in 1933 Germany?

The people in that video strike me as the very kind that require nothing more than permission (in ANY form) to start killing people they disagree with or feel superior to...ie. - that's whole lotta low information, highly propagandized white crazies looking for someone to say "OK...you can do it now..."

6. This is VERY SCARY; Notice some saying: "Prove it is not real"

I am very afraid for the world, the US, my family, and myself. When this many people are credulous only dark days lie ahead.

18. I heard that too, it's a classic propaganda technique, the Argument from Ignorance.

Those people were trying to claim that their truth was based on a nebulous fact that it has not yet been discovered or proven false, therefore it is just as valid as an actual verifiable truth. Essentially they were making a typical "Argument from Ignorance".

They were trying defend their a weak position by pushing a Logical Fallacy, another propaganda tool that is often used to distract. Their whole argument was based on flawed reasoning, erroneous assumptions and irrelevant misinformation that could be easily disproved... if they wanted to look. I suspect those folks already have mental difficulties in processing evidence that conflicts with their long cherished world views, so instead they resort to challenging their critics to prove a negative.

7. I have a feeling Mr Q

Will be directing their actions once the poop hits the fan.

8. What they believe, but apparently won't say out loud:

In 1912 the Titanic was sunk by the Rothschilds in order to kill opponents of the Federal Reserve System, thereby cementing the grip of the deep state and turning the people of America into slaves. 87 years later JFK Jr and Donald Trump concocted a plan to take back our country. It began with John John faking his own death. It was important that he "die" in a plane crash to fool the deep state. You see, 1 out of 3 plane crashes are used by the deep state to murder its enemies. Kennedy then had to wait it out until a true patriot was put into the White House. It should be noted that the deep state is made up of civilian government officials as well as Hollywood Elites and pro athletes. The are all Satanists who kill babies and eat them or use them for sacrifice rituals or traffic them for sex. When the storm hits Q will reveal himself to be, in fact, JFK Jr! The people of America, too many who don't appreciate the Donald, but who loved JFK Sr will rally around John John as he uses the military (the only uncorrupted part of the American government) to take power back from the deep state and give it back to the people. Got it?

15. It all makes so much sense now

[Botany]

10. Q is real ... he was James Bond's helper who got him "deadly toys"

[cachukis]

11. Really liked the reporter challenging the responses. Rarely do you see that.

[secondwind]

12. These people are the way they are because of

30 years of hate talk and Fox propaganda. This is chilling to see/hear.

14. How can adults be that gullible and unsophisticated in the Information Age?

They are as impressionable as uneducated, third worlders who have never been beyond their tiny remote village. If their children started believing in some crazy thing they found on the internet, they'd have an intervention and start monitoring their online activity.

All those people were focused on superficial slogans, vague claims, unfounded rumors, vast conspiracy theories and unverified internet chicanery. No one had thought past the initial meme that somehow Q favored Trump and that was spread rapidly by other Internet users with no more knowledge that they had. They really must be desperate for validation to wholeheartedly embrace this sort of craziness without question.

16. There's a pill for that

17. Right wing media has created cult-like symptoms in its listeners and viewers. It's evolved from

anti-science to Trump's pronouncement to not believe what you see and hear in the news. These folks remind me of the Moonies back in the 70's, all they are missing is the required picture ID hanging around their necks.

[geardaddy]

19. Holy fuck, these people are paranoid.

[berksdem]

20. and...

these folks are going to vote. What the actual F!
