The Conspiracy Theory That Says Trump Is a Genius
New York Times Opinion ^ | April 6, 2018 | Michelle Goldberg

Posted on 04/06/2018 2:32:41 PM PDT by edzo4

Last week Roseanne Barr — who, with the hit reboot of her show, has become one of the most prominent Donald Trump supporters in the country — tweeted that the president has freed hundreds of children a month from sexual bondage. “He has broken up trafficking rings in high places everywhere,” she wrote. (The tweet has since been deleted.)

Barr’s tweet, puzzling to the casual observer, was a reference to QAnon, an expansive, complicated pro-Trump conspiracy theory. The theory is fascinating as an artifact of our current political derangement, but more than that, it’s profoundly revealing about the lengths to which some Trump supporters will go to convince themselves that his presidency is going well.

As Paris Martineau explained in New York Magazine, QAnon was born last October, when someone claiming to have “Q” level security clearance started a cryptic thread on 4chan, the online message board and troll playground. It was titled, “The Calm Before the Storm,” a phrase Trump had recently used. Q posted hints, some in the form of questions, ostensibly meant to help clued-in Trump supporters understand what was really going on in Washington beneath the facade of chaos and incompetence. (“What is military intelligence? Why go around the 3 letter agencies?”)

I dunno. If Roseanne is a Qbot, then yeah.

That explains a lot.

Genius or not, Trump is more for America First than 98% of republican politicians.

Let the “fantasies” become reality.
Fantasies can become consensus movements too.

Amen.

I saw her twitter feed. Never saw any mention of Q. She did make the Trump comment and also posted a bunch of articles about the recent child porno ring break ups and the comment is not untrue as far as I can see. There has been a lot more pedo crime rings busted. Either that, or they just didn’t make the news when obamy was prez.

Strange that the left attacks anyone on the right very fiercely about this subject as it tends to be how they are when they accuse others of things they actually do.

The msm might as well be hollyweird these days and we know how they are in this area. Leftist pols are buddy buddy with them also.

As degenerate as the left is, I wouldn’t be surprised if pizzagate wasn’t at least somewhat true.

The New York Times know if they asked the White House for comment.

And now they know that Q has confirmed that they asked. Sooooooo, ipso facto, the NYT knows Q is legit.

but they can't admit that, or their false fakery conspiracy like falls apart.

Whatever will they do???

Hahahahahaha.

They are stupid.

To the author, Some would call the “genius” of “Communist utopia” or “man made global climate change” fantasy too.
Fantasy can become reality with consensus and movement, the reality is that it can cause things to happen, good, and bad for you depending on where you fall.
Thanks for talking about this, people need to read Q and take what they will from it.
I hope Q causes thought, even if it is just mere fantasy, because it points more and more to what really needs to happen in reality.

I think he plays chess in another dimension?
Or, he plays against members of the 5th Demension?
Something like that.

Liberals are just sick with toxic hate for Trump....a man who has done nothing to harm a single person.

That kind of irrational hatred and anger eventually eats out the mind, body, and soul.

for me the thing that says there is something to the Q posts is the fact that it has not turned into fodder for late night comedians. the content is so incredible it is hard to believe we have not had Saturday night live skits being used to discredit the validity of its content.
