I’m surprised they haven’t started a theory that Trump is actually Batman. Billionaire, from Gotham. Obviously in peak physical condition. Definitely willing to run towards gunfire when unarmed. Uncorruptable. Champion of justice. 

 

Not the President we need.  But the President we deserve.

What is it with these people that they see that a pizza place has funny symbols on its sign or they stumble upon an abandoned homeless camp and the first thought that jumps into their 40-watt brains is "OMG child sex ring!"

I remember when /pol/ got started. It was meant to be a containment area for people who were 2edgy4u - even by the website's standards. No one liked them, no one took them seriously, and "go back to /pol/" was a common response to anyone whose racism was too overt and earnest (once again, even by 4chan standards). 

 

Now? They're helping elect Presidents and are getting featured by major news outlets. 

 

This truly is the darkest timeline.

People doing wrong always get way too much attention, and people that go about their business the right way get very little.

A man at the center of an unfounded conspiracy theory claiming a child sex trafficking camp was uncovered near Tucson, Arizona, has been arrested on suspicion of trespassing for the second time in two weeks.

 

Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer, the founder of the Veterans on Patrol group, has been pushing the unsubstantiated claim for more than two months through Facebook and YouTube videos, alleging a vast conspiracy and cover-up that encompassed the Clintons, Rothschilds, Arizona elected officials, drug cartels, a Mexican concrete company, and the son of a former president of Mexico.

 

Many of Meyer's videos include a request to supporters for financial donations and supplies.

 

Since late May, Meyer and his supporters have camped in the desert near Tucson, claiming to be setting up operations to stop not only the child sex trafficking ring but uncover a wide-ranging conspiracy surrounding it.

 

"This is a child sex trafficking camp that no one wants to talk about, that no one wants to do nothing about," he said.

 

Federal and local law enforcement officials have refuted the claim that Meyer and his group have uncovered any kind of trafficking ring and stated that a video widely circulated by the group of a site covered with trash and debris is actually an abandoned homeless encampment.

‘We are Q’: A deranged conspiracy cult leaps from the Internet to the crowd at Trump’s ‘MAGA’ tour

 

Quote

What Tuesday’s rally in Tampa made apparent is that devotees of these falsehoods — some of which are specific to faith in the president, others garden-variety nonsense with racist and anti-Semitic undertones — don’t just exist in the far reaches of the Web.

 

Believers in “QAnon,” as the conspiracy theory is known, were front and center at the Florida State Fairgrounds Expo Hall, where Trump came to stump for Republican candidates. As the president spoke, a sign rose from the audience. “We are Q,” it read. Another poster displayed text arranged in a “Q” pattern: “Where we go one we go all.”

 

The symbol appeared on clothing, too. A man and a woman wore matching white T-shirts with the YouTube logo encircled in a blue “Q.” The video-sharing website came under criticism this week for unwittingly becoming a platform for baseless claims, first promoted on Twitter and Reddit by QAnon believers, that certain Hollywood celebrities are pedophiles. A search for the name of one of those celebrities on Monday returned videos purporting to show his victims sharing their stories.

American rednecks are the stupidest subset of people on the planet.

 

Why?  Because they chose it willingly.

Many had it thrust upon them by (to paraphrase Bill Bryson) "copious amounts of impure corn liquor and multiple generations of profoundly unbiblical sex."

QAnon might be the most insidious conspiracy in a long time.

 

If you get past the stupidity of it all, thousands or maybe upwards of a million of the Presidents most die hard followers are convinced that he's running a super secret law enforcement operation to round up all the pedophiles. But the pedophiles are all of the Presidents "opponents", which includes people in the intel community, Mueller, all Democrats etc.

 

They want every Trump political opponent locked up and de-facto military rule. Creeping fascism.

Who is Q? Behind conspiracy theory erupting at Trump rallies

 
By Tamara Lush | APAugust 2 at 8:24 AM

TAMPA, Fla. — Amid the “Trump 2020” placards, the “Women for Trump” signs and the “CNN SUCKS” T-shirts, the most inscrutable message that came out of Donald Trump’s Tampa rally on Tuesday evening was a letter.

 

Q.

 

People wore T-shirts with the letter emblazoned on the front. Others carried signs containing the letter: “Q WWG1WGA Trump 2020 Keep America Great! MSM is the enemy.” Another held a dog-eared and slightly crumpled piece of paper in the air. It said, simply, “We are Q.”

 

Q who?

 

The entire, loose movement has been called everything from “a deranged conspiracy cult” (The Washington Post) to a grassroots movement “about the covert battles being waged between the deep state and President Trump” (according to Tyler, a guy at the Tampa rally who held a metal coin emblazoned with the letter and showed it to WPLG, a TV station from Miami).

 

Here’s a look at the trend that’s sweeping certain dark corners of the Internet:
