We are mostly watching what it would be like to witness a religion evolve in real time. Most religions believe in some pretty crazy shit too, and I challenge anyone to find the difference between believing in a pedo ring in a pizza store vs the day of judgement and the layers of hell, angels, demons, resurrection, etc.
Nothing new is happening here.
Anyways, I think the belief in some of the crazy qanon stuff is a subconscious manifestation of their true nasty dispositions. The raw beliefs are probably embedded in racism, and it’s driving that subset rotten so much so that it is manifesting in a mutated outgrowth of a similarly nasty conspiracy (pedo rings, dominion by a lizard class).
It’s the same with religion, if you give it to mostly naive and dim witted people you will get dim witted beliefs and customs.
It’s the same with giving someone an elite education in a proper field, you get a highly useful member of society.
The rottenness of their basic beliefs is metastasizing into these forms that feel obvious to me. Believing in lizard dominators is no different than being unabashedly racist in this day and age, pure dysfunction. Hell, I’ll even suggest believing in semi-human demon form of a lizard person out to harm you is poetic licensing of racism, the belief in another human that isn’t exactly you and something to be feared, to be dealt with.

Modus operandi of every religion, it was written. Just random shit that was written over ages. Why would the GOP be particularly susceptible to it? Well why wouldn’t they be? Their bread and butter base was always the evangelical or some form of white Christian. That’s a specific type of person through and through. Why wouldn’t this group be the ones that gravitate to this stuff?
A group of people that believe in the greatest conspiracy of all time about a deity, running things in a planned way, with all kinds of backstory and lore about the purpose of humanity, and yet we’re all shocked they gobbled up another equally laughable conspiracy. They’ve remixed their beliefs, god running the world and finding his true believers is repurposed in Trump secretly rallying his true believers against a world order that seeks to harm them. It’s not even original, they are just manifestations of racism embedded in the reality of a globalized world that is economically weakening them. Can we follow the money here?
It’s the same exact people guys, why is our memory so lenient?

Everyone on some level is aware that they are going to be deceived for their own good. There's no other way to go to church, or pay taxes.

Some owners/operators of them engage in crimes. Pedophiles exists. Given the number of both it wouldn't be plausible for there not to be a pizza store owner/operator who is also a pedophile. Pedophile networks for (some of the) rich and powerful exists and they have to source their victims somewhere and abduct them. While it wouldn't have to be a pizza joint that is used for cover (a laundromat or some other small business would work just as well) there isn't a good reason to not use a pizza joint. There is no evidence at all of hell, angles, demons and there is no way you can have ghosts haunting places where they were abused or treated unfairly and not have any at Auschwitz, yet nobody has ever taken a picture of any there.

- me_me_me 6y agoThat is very interesting conclusion. I would disagree a bit on that qanon is exactly the same as religion. Qanon feels like a leaderless cult that is morphing into most extreme (thus most outlandish) claims and believes. But I don't think there is any solid core tenet at heat there. Modern religions are always focused at afterlife and the provide you with a way to get there. Qanon is more a way for morons to feel smart. They create a world where they are the smart one and everyone else is a looser. This feels like a coping mechanism to me. Maybe it could grow into a religion or a cult but i don't think it is as of now.
