QAnon fanatics are rebranding their 'secret war.' And it's working.
NBC 'News' via MSN ^ | 7/18/21 | Mike Rothschild

Posted on 07/18/2021 5:14:32 AM PDT by Libloather

A few years into waiting for “the storm” to sweep away former President Donald Trump’s enemies, some believers in the prophetic QAnon conspiracy theory have decided to take matters into their own hands.

These “digital soldiers” aren’t picking up guns or marching on the Capitol - though many actually did that. Instead, nearly 100 Q-aligned candidates ran for Congress in the 2020 election, according to watchdog site Media Matters for America, with dozens of others running for governor, state legislature seats and county offices. Some were hardcore Q evangelists, while others had merely retweeted a QAnon hashtag. But all had shown some deference for a violent prophecy cult that was turning conspiracy theories into gospel.

Like so many of QAnon’s predictions, these candidates mostly failed. The majority didn’t get past their primary or ran in solidly Democratic districts and had no chance of victory. A few won at the state level, and constant media fixture Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has spouted QAnon-friendly conspiracy theories for years, won her deeply Republican congressional district in Georgia. But she was an outlier.

Post-2020, Q believers are once again gearing up to run for office and grow their movement, but with two major strategy changes. One is that Q believers are now getting involved in local elections for school boards and city councils and showing up at board meetings to scream about Q-linked topics. The other is that many of these candidates no longer identify as believers in QAnon - or even acknowledge that a movement with that name ever existed. They’re taking their “secret war” to new recruits looking to strike back against a way of life they feel is eroding - without the public acknowledgement that such a war exists.

“One of these days, NBC will get around to reporting on the socialists.”

And one of these days, queer priests will get around to reporting on queer priests.

I’ll take a Q believer any day over a Marxism–Leninism–Maoism believer! And the media always refers to them as the “Democratic” party. Spit!

Nothing like a Rothschild to aim at the impertinent grassroots.

And Snowball was spotted out in the cornfield.

Too bad there’s no one reporting on who NBC gets its orders from. That would actually be news.

They may even one day realize that there is Q, and then there are Anons.

NBC, being a member of the loathsome and very inferior media is leftist, and is the enemy. A real enemy.
We know it.
And they know we know it.
Only a matter of time until this must be resolved.

If we lose the election, it will be down to too many conspiracy theories destroying our credibility with the voters. There are too many conspiracy theories associated with Q-Anon and I feel as though they are probably a plant by people who dearly want to prevent America-first from ever rearing its head again. So what do you do with a populist movement? You poison it and discredit it. Thats where we are.

QAnon as such had its origin in a 4chan prank.

But the class struggle is still real even when the ruling class "identifies" as left wing.

And degeneracy in high places is realer than ever.

I seldom watch TV. When these odd faces show up in memes without identification, I’m lost
