I know that Russiagate is the liberal QAnon, but I was talking with my kids last night and they told me that liberals will be falling prey to their own NEW QAnon soon.

QAnon comes from religious chuds trying to make sense of how Trump is an incompetent dumbass. But Biden, too, is an incompetent dumbass, at least when it comes to actually helping people.

So will we see a liberal messiah cult centered on Biden soon? Or perhaps Kamala? Are we already there?

    wait you have kids? not very volcel of you.

    but seriously I don't think we're gonna see anything of the same type of cult of personality develop around any of the Dems, for the first thing none of the dems actually have a personality to base the cult around.... but also they just don't have the infrastructure inside the party that would allow anything really similar to Q to work. Like, the republicans spend 8 years doing tea party organizing shit to get conspiracy dumbasses into positions of power within the party, and those people helped pave the way to the media landscape that Q thrived in. On the Dem side, they're all still 100% onboard with CNN and MSNBC and shit and they would never actually go seek out chan board bullshit that makes them feel smart; they've already got the narrative they want coming out of the major networks. plus, a lot of the bullshit narrative they buy into is republicans being good people who they can work with and anything more radical about that is also "just divisiveness" and shit. So I think a lib Q anon just doesn't work practically, at least from the standpoint of an internet LARPer building a radicalizing force for them.
