this massive memetic hazard that's taken over half of america.
The good news is, it's not.
I keep tabs on Trump supporters and QAnon is a tiny insane faction of Trump supporters, not even most other Trump supporters want to associate with them. It's why you'll see a rally with thousands of Trump supporters and like 9 people with QAnon signs. Most people -- Republicans included -- don't even know who or what the fuck QAnon is.
QAnon is completely irrelevant, the only reason you even hear about them is because crazy shit they say just makes great headlines, gets clicks and makes money.
It peaked in like 2018 and has been dying off as the conspiracy theories mutated from plausible stuff like "there are probably pedophiles in politics and entertainment" (see: Bohemian Grove) to some massive hydra of random conspiracy theories that has no common theme... a huge portion of "Q supporters" are just legitimate trolls and /pol/ fucking with left-wingers and normies.
Even the within the "Q believers" only a tiny fraction of them believe the most insane shit they crank out, with the majority of them just being morons that have no idea what they're supporting and just think it's some kind of anti-pedophilia movement.
And the ones that DO believe the most insane theories are like 57yr old housewives from a town of 300 in Missouri and doesn't know how to drive.
Fret not however, there are still plenty of things to worry about... the establishment shitbag politicians and whatever war(s) Biden will inevitably start.

TL;DR -- QAnon isn't really even a thing, let alone half the country lol, the numbers are probably in the high hundreds/low thousands... it's just another one of those things the media over reports on because they make money from outrage clicks.
I think you've mostly got it right, except that the peak of QAnon was far more recent. I would say it peaked in May or June, due to the combination of election, Covid lockdowns, and BLM protests. People who research Q seem to think it has died down since this summer, and since Trump lost it will probably continue to fade (https://twitter.com/_MAArgentino, https://twitter.com/RightWingWatch)
