    QAnon is wild. I have an uncle who was on the edge of sovcit territory when I was growing up. He taught me how to use a gun and drive before I was 10 lmao. I'm not gonna lie -- I thought he was so cool when I was young. But when I got older it became more and more apparent that he had a lot of mental health issues (and was super racist). Funny enough, trying to push back against some of his conspiracy theories when I was old enough to understand what they meant was what led me towards leftism. But QAnon? It has completely taken him over. I told him that I thought the movement was misguided and not based in reality. He told me that he hated me for my complicity. So. I'm not giving up on talking to him about it (because there is literally no one else who will) but goddamn does it suck.
