quote:

It’s not just dumb, it’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen,” Stranahan told The Daily Beast. “It’s unprecedentedly dumb in the history of American politics.”


quote:

Further complicating the effort, the pro-Trump figures now trying to fight QAnon have often embraced equally outlandish conspiracy theories themselves. And everyone involved supports Trump, who built his political career pushing the conspiracy theory that Barack Obama was actually born in Kenya.

The QAnon pushback kicked off in earnest over the weekend, with various prominent Trump supporters attacking the conspiracy theory. Jacob Wohl, a young Trump supporter who has built a following on Twitter, declared that QAnon was “complete and utter nonsense.” Conservative columnist Kurt Schlichter called the theory “vaguely entertaining nonsense.” In a Reddit post, former White House press secretary Sean Spicer shot down a question about whether QAnon was “legit” with a one-word reply: “no.”

Scott Adams, the Dilbert creator who positioned himself as a pro-Trump thought leader, said in a video Sunday that QAnon believers were making all Trump supporters look “like a bunch of idiots.”

“Maybe do it a little quieter, because it’s not helping the brand,” Adams said.




quote:

Michael Flynn, who is cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, is somehow involved in Q. But on Monday, Flynn’s son joined in the chorus of pro-Trump figures slamming QAnon.

“While I’ve been mentioned alongside the #QAnon hashtag before, I’ve never taken it seriously,” Michael Flynn Jr.tweeted. “And you shouldn’t either.”






quote:

Stranahan, who has sparred with QAnon believers over Twitter for months, said QAnon is the latest example of Trump supporters falling for a Pizzagate-style conspiracy theory.

“I view this as the next rung on the ladder to hell,” Stranahan said.

The DNC colluded with CNN to rig their primary.

Q is harmless.

What’s the big deal?

Watch the ones who protest the loudest. As for Adams, Flynn Jr. They're not on the need to know basis

Easy enough. Have someone ask Trump about Q. That will settle it right? I mean reporters yell and ask him all kinds of crazy shite all the time. Have Jim Acosta ask about Q

The latest craze among liberals is watching your boyfriend get fornicated by Demetrius. Not sure where you’re trying to go with this except for supporting beta male cucks.

Yikes. You may want to slow down on the projection. While you fancy yourself clever....those of us with actual education can spot a simpleton like you from miles away.

Oh you lead the simpleton parade here everyday.

It's always fun to watch you flay away on these forums.

Ends every conversation with calling you racist. Serious chip on that mental midget's shoulder.

Wait!
In a world where " A majority of U.S. adults do not know that Paul Manafort is not on trial for “collusion with Russia," you and the Daily Beast contend "Q" is a problem?
Really?

In a society where 80% of people encountered on the street wouldn't even recognize a picture of Mike Pence, you contend Q is an issue? That is so laughable as to leave one sad for your gullibility.

I will guarantee you if you approach the public about a "Q source", more folks would recognize the reference as a predecessor to Gospels in the Bible than something to do with politics on Reddit. The percent would be small either way though.

This is yet another example of the Daily Beast ( there are many) doing what the Daily Beast does . . . lie, concoct, contort.

. . . . and you swallowed it.

Wow, have you seen his fake birth certificate? It looks like a third grader forged it.
