Holy Batcrap Crazy

Has the entire country gone crazy?

How can something this stupid be considered anything but insane?

Alex Jones looks sane in comparison and these are all Trump supporters

I dunno, I guess there is Trump Crazy and Q is slightly crazier? Maybe a difference of degrees? My sister told me long ago if I really wanted to know what was going on I needed to listen to Alex Jones.

You should be helping your sister.
 
... the general story, outlined in a pro-QAnon video ..., is that every president before Trump was a “criminal president” in league with all the nefarious groups of conspiracy theories past: the global banking elite, death squads operating on orders from Hillary Clinton, deep-state intelligence operatives, and Pizzagate-style pedophile rings. In an effort to break this cabal’s grip, according to Q, the military convinced Trump to run for president.
 
I don't think QAnon-style thinking is just a sideshow. I think it's the point of conservatism now. Not every pro-Trump conservative believes the specific QAnon theories, but they all believe that their enemies -- who now include not just all Democrats but every Republican who won't genuflect to Trump -- are unspeakably evil. You can give this an anodyne name like "negative partisanship," but it's far beyond that. Conservatives don't just believe the rest of us have bad ideas. They don't just think we're dangerously wrongheaded. They think we're the epitome of pure, satanic, civilization-threatening evil. They may not believe that we're all pedophiles, but they think we're all as evil as pedophiles. They may not think we're all directly tied to an elitist conspiracy intended to enchain and impoverish everyone on the planet who isn't part of the plot, but they think we're evil enough to do anything, including that and more.

So I'm not sure that Trumpism requires Trump at all. Trump is the center of a personality cult because he's the first politician at his level who seems to regard us as the unholy monsters that rank-and-file conservatives believe we are. Moreover, he seems to relish the idea of a holy war against us.

But if Trump were out of the picture, or if he seemed to waver in the fight, they'd still think that we're pure evil. Trump isn't the point -- the fight against us is the point. Trump is just, in their belief, the greatest fighter they've had.

So Q shirts at a Trump rally make perfect sense. They love Trump, but what they really want is the fight, and the fight is Q.
 
That explains why what Trump does...doesn't matter.

He's a symbol...

The hatred these people live with simply gets manifested through him
 
I just remembered something. I used to hang out on a stupidly conservative site. One of the stupider things was a thread about Obama being the antichrist. At first I thought they were just overstating their dislike of Obama. But no, they truly believed, or at least said they did that Obama was indeed the antichrist and proof we were in the end time. Another thing supposedly one of the conservobots had a direct connection with a guy still in the service with a top secret clearance that was feeding them info, and they really truly believed it. Had I believed it for a second I would have forwarded the so called info to the FBI. But looking back on it I think they were true believers.
