I don't know, if there's one thing I've learned from Q-anon and other modern cultists is that they are who they tell you they are. There's no need for mental gymnastics on our part to explain awful behaviour away.

In the end, if it causes the same effects by poisoning rational public discourse, does it matter whether somebody is cosplaying as a qanon believer or not?
