The isolation I'm referring to is the effect of post-social media polarization that started around 2008 and the social isolation that seems to result from it, where the people attracted to QAnon are ones who are among the "left behind," in the progressive worldview. It's reactionary, as they are the focal point of a global movement whose defining attribute is that it uses these people and their culture as a symbol and a reference point to align against, so many of them resort to whatever community they can still find.
