It's so obviously batshit insane bullshit but there's obviously something very seductive about it otherwise so many millions of people wouldn't be drawn to it and obsess over it.

I think COVID helped break a lot of people's brains and they were desperate to find meaning, but Q is just beyond my understanding of why anybody let alone otherwise rational people could fall into that hole.

Any of you ever delve into that shit just for a gander? I really can't be bothered so I hope some of you have done the work for me already.

    American decay is really driving people insane. Most people previously have been sort of passively, apolitically nationalistic, "of course America is the greatest", sort of a status quo common sense. But now that it's problems are so obvious, and getting worse, they need an explanation, and a generic conspiracy of bad people doing bad things is convenient because anyone can project anything onto it.
