"QAnon" is a very wide ranging set of beliefs, from "a deep state faction has or will arrest every major politician and celebrity and replace them with holograms" to "elite pedophile rings exist and have protection from law enforcement and media scrutiny." Do you believe the latter idea should be "beyond the pale"? Because after the Franklin Scandal, the Doutroux Affair, the Catholic Church and Boy Scouts abuses, Dennis Hastert, Jimmy Saville, and most famously Epstein, there's all kinds of evidence in its favor.
- krapp 6y agoQAnon doesn't believe that "elite pedophile rings exist and have protection from law enforcement and media scrutiny," that's not controversial. QAnon believes the Democratic Party and leftist elites are part of a secret cabal of Satan-worshipping cannibal pedophiles, and that Donald Trump has been sent by God to expose them. The former is a reasonable claim with obvious proof, but the actual beliefs of QAnon are extremist, paranoid lunatic nonsense, as even a cursory look at their wikipedia page will show[0]. These are not reasonable people whose only concern is the safety and well being of abused children, this is a right-wing doomsday cult.
