QAnon is hiding in the chandelier
Axios has more on Trump’s playdate with QAnon.
QAnon is a sprawling internet conspiracy theory that baselessly alleges that a powerful cabal of sex traffickers within the “deep state” is engaged in a global fight to take down Trump. The FBI identified fringe conspiracy theories, like QAnon, as domestic terrorist threats in 2019.
Why would sex traffickers want to take down Trump though? It’s not as if he’s a vocal opponent of sex trafficking or any other form of sexual exploitation.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, a vocal supporter of QAnon, won the Republican nomination in Georgia’s deep-red 14th Congressional District runoff last week. Trump tweeted his congratulations and called her a “future Republican Star.”
Well he had to say something, and his vocabulary is small.
“I don’t know much about the movement, other than I understand they like me very much. Which I appreciate. But I don’t know much about the movement,” Trump said.
“I have heard that it is gaining in popularity and from what I hear … these are people that don’t like seeing what’s going on in places like Portland, and places like Chicago and New York and other cities and states.
“I’ve heard these are people that love our country and they just don’t like seeing it. So I don’t know really anything about it other than they do supposedly like me and they also would like to see problems in these areas, like especially in the areas that we’re talking about, go away.”
He’s got the intellect of a child, but all the greed and malice and venom and belligerence of an angry self-obsessed adult man. It’s not a good combination.
When informed that the crux of the theory is a belief that he is “secretly saving the world from this Satanic cult of pedophiles and cannibals,” Trump responded, “Well I haven’t heard that, but is that supposed to be a bad thing or a good thing?”
It’s supposed to be a made-up thing, sir. It’s supposed to be a laughably silly conspiracy theory that makes no sense and is supported by no evidence, sir.
“If I can help save the world from problems, I’m willing to do it. I’m willing to put myself out there.”
Hahahaha no he’s not. He’s willing to flap his lips, that’s all. He’s “willing to put himself out there” to the extent of walking a few hundred yards with a heavy escort after gassing civilians to get them out of his way. That’s not what the rest of us call willingness to put oneself out there. He’s willing to tweet, sure, he’s willing to call names and bully and ridicule, but genuinely put himself out there, no.
Q maintains President Trump is secretly fighting a child-selling cabal in the U.S., though the conspiracy has spiraled to cover a vast array of claims, from JFK Jr. having faked his death to help Trump behind the scenes to the coronavirus being a hoax or a biological weapon engineered in either case by sinister elites.
The sinister elites is Trump.
I think there is a patch just over there in the corner not covered in gold paint. Wait, no, no, it’s definitely covered.
I wonder if he stiffed the artist that did the mural?
He hears they like him – all about him. He hears they are gaining in popularity – all about ratings. He is not capable of thinking beyond his ratings.
All those fights and feuds and arguments and campaigns to destroy things that he has going on in public…. but he’s fighting Satanists and sex traffickers in secret? Isn’t that the one cause we can all get behind?
Catwhisperer, we can all get behind fighting sex traffickers, perhaps, but I for one have no problem with the Satanists. They get a bad rep, but there is no real evidence they do anything to harm anyone. So yeah, part of it I could get behind.
The Satanists being fought by Trump and right-wing Christians are largely fictitious, and bear little resemblance (beyond the name) with the Satanic Temple or the Church of Satan. It’s a homonym confusion, in essence. I like TST and can get behind much of their program, too. But Trump et al are not railing about TST.
It’s like when you talk about the Salem witch trials, and witch hunts in parts of Africa and Asia, and you say there’s no such thing as witches, and people bring up Wicca. No, followers of Wicca call themselves witches, but that doesn’t mean that witches in the usual sense of the word are real.
In a sense, it’s also like the fictitious TERFs that the wokesters go on about, who espouse awful views and engage in horrific acts, but who don’t seem to exist as claimed, either.
Yeah I was pretending that Satan is real, therefore Satanists are real (and definitely bad guys), and basing my assumption we’d all be in favour of fighting them on that. I confess, I was just being silly.
