I've been able to avoid it entirely. Can you point to a good primer on qanon? Not an opinion piece or a takedown or anything, just an explainer.

Yeah it has this millenarian aspect too from what I can gather where Donald trump is a savior figure who will purge the cabal and issue in a new golden age of some kind. The basic structure is that everything about the world that q followers don’t like us the fault of this cabal of Bad People and once they are removed then everything will be great. Very fascistic. Q made predictions of certain people being arrested, such as Hillary Clinton; when this didn’t happen the explanation became that they had been replaced with clones. Google can probably find you better summaries of you dig more but heres one: https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a22646546/q-anon-trump-conspiracy-theory-explained/ https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a22646546/q-anon-trump...
