I don’t know. With QAnon people in Congress (M. Greene) I wonder if the tide can be stemmed. Or was it always this bad?

Muh Russia is about as bad as QAnon as far as existing evidence for it; the only difference being the level of respectability it achieved.

  Personally, the notion that the Democratic party is controlled by a collection of Satan-worshipping paedophiles seems a little less plausible than that an election candidate worked with a foreign government against his opponents, but then I'm not American so what do I know?

    Well, there's actually evidence of pedophile blackmail rings for one thing; Franklin Scandal, Dutreux, Epstein, Hastert, Trump's mentor Roy Cohn. Nothing particularly Satan worshipping or Democratic party about it. Meanwhile, muh Russia idea has .... Trump said something nice about Putin once.

      > Nothing particularly Satan worshipping or Democratic party about it. Isn't that the core idea behind QAnon? I think our differing viewpoints on this perhaps point to the notion that we don't see things as they are, rather we see them as we are.

        >Isn't that the core idea behind QAnon? I'm pretty sure pedophile blackmail rings would like everyone to pay attention to the ridiculous idea rather than the "actually exists in the corporeal world" idea. Hence, QAnon. Seriously: Roy Cohn, Dennis Hastert, Franklin Scandal -all republican pedophile scandals, or republican pedophile blackmailers. Epstein obviously an apolotical rapist of children and blackmailer of politicians. Dutreux affair was in Europe. None were particularly satanic. All are real things which actually happened and feed into QAnon horse shit. QAnon obviously disinfo. Muh Russia is just horse shit that never happened in any meaningful way beyond the usual countries fucking with each other thing. I don't think we have differing viewpoints, particularly. Which viewpoint do you disagree with?

        I'm not American and dont really care about conspiracies and whatnot, however I dont see it very far fetched to have a group of people worshiping X deity. Theres a very open Satanic religion: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Satan https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Satan . As an atheist this is nothing exotic or worthy of conspiracies... just another religion.

        You appear to not realize that it is a tongue-in-cheek organization.
