Of course, with the same incredibly low standards of evidence, you could take any random photo and use it to prove that Trump is a long time fan of My Little Pony and is going to nationalize Hasbro in order to de-canonize the Friendship is Magic era and bring it back to it's greatness in the '80s for the true fans.

Reminder: these are the same people who think that a missile was shot at Air Force 1 from a Deep State submarine as part of an attempted coup during the Singapore summit. And their response to this is, “Oh, yes. Of course that happened.”

I must have missed that little aspect of it. So they just think that someone tried to like Harrison Ford Air Force One out of the sky? And everybody agreed not to talk about it and pretend it didn’t happen, including the US, whoever shot it, whatever country they were over, and whatever intelligence agencies keeping track of it? Sensible. Very sensible.

Therefore the next clues that we need to look for will have a reference to B52’s Rock Lobster. And there they saw a rock- "Rock," of course, refers to Peter (cognate with Pierre in French), and rhymes with Strzok. So the "rock" represents Peter Strzok. Q has uncovered Strzok's collaboration with the deep state. But it wasn't a rock- When is a rock not a rock? When it's a disguise for something else. Strzok is part of the deep state, that much we already know, but he's covering for someone. He's a fall guy. That's what rocks do - they fall. It was a rock lobster- Where else is associated with lobsters? Maine. Who represents Maine right now? Susan Collins. Has anyone seen Collins and Strzok in the same room together? We know that the elite bloodline families are planning to abolish gender, so why not give one of their own a dual genderfluid secret identity? Did Lisa Page know that she was dating a woman in reverse drag? Has this knowledge finally redpilled her and turned her against the Deep State?

One thing I was wondering about: In the aftermath of pretty obvious failures like the AF1 photo, could one "steal" the Q persona? My basic idea would be along these lines: - wait for a moment of doubt by the Qultists - grab a new tripcode on 4chan - start posting as Q, claiming that your previous trip has been compromised and the event that induced the doubt was deliberate sabotage by the Deep State, to break up the Qult. - Keep posting as if you were Q Could one splinter the Qult like this?

That... Is that actually a verbatim transcript of his speech? I can't stand to watch him speak so don't try to. That seriously reads like it's somebody trying desperately to maintain their grip on sanity and failing, or trying to hide the stroke they're currently having. I'm guessing the heart of the Q stuff is the fact so much of what Trump says actually does not make sense. They refuse to believe somebody on their side could maybe be kind of out of it so instead they invent a reality where he's giving them secret code, rather than simply spewing gibberish to make himself seems smarter or greater than he is.

I think it would be theoretically possible- but it would require weeks of psychological prep (you what do you torque Master Q style well enough to convince a bunch of obsessive schizophrenic's that you are the real deal*) and probably a solid month of living on chanboards 24/7. *Yeah have fun with that. You know how Toblerone Triangular eventually dropped the act because he realized he was turning himself into a crazy person? I really think if a goon successfully took over the Qult they would almost certainly wind up as a True Believer within a fairly short period of time.

These people are delusional. It would be hell of easy to make yourself the next ‘Q’, if not for the time you would need to set on chanboards. You wouldn’t even need to invent elaborate connections, just post whatever short ‘clues’ or picture, and the base will fit the narrative We had some murders happen locally, and a couple months into it someone got on a local forum and started posted poorly written vague poems and then stopped shortly later. 2 years later, some people are still trying to ‘decipher’ these poems that were obviously written by a bored high schooler The real conspiracy I see is how ‘Q’ got so popular. I don’t see how one single chan weirdo is getting so much coverage without being promoted

Some channer being treated as the only source you can trust is the logical outcome of that.

I constantly see posters in this thread insisting that it would be trivially easy to either imitate Q's posting style or conduct a parallel scam. I don't know how to tell you this, but y'all have no idea what you're talking about. Just because gullible people exist and can be corralled into groups at doesn't mean that you have the insight or psychological wherewithal to manipulate large groups of gullible people. It's actually a real skillset and requires a base-level of inherent talent that simply cannot be taught. And if you disagree let's see a single one of you put up or shut up. Let's see someone actually imitate a Qanon individual well enough to get some kind of traction/following. Because I'm just going to lay it out to you strait- at best you are going to get two or three days into the project and realize you have absolutely no idea what you're doing before you just quietly abandon the entire project.

So in the  mocking FB group, some guy just Kramered in and is all "Lol i can't believe you think people actually believe this stuff!" implying that no none actually believes Hillary Clinton and Jane Fonda are cutting childrens faces off in Satanic rituals and its all just a big lark and all the millions of posts online about Qanon and other CTs is just some massive creative endevor. He was laughed at and pointed out that yes, a lot of people take this stuff seriously, to a point that they live their lives based on that, and the guy who went to Comet Ping Pong with a gun sure as hell took it seriously. They simply said "well, of course there's going to be a few crazies!".A very large chunk of society believes whole heartedly in conspiracy theories! Basically all of Conservative dogma is conspiracy theories! They may have not embraced the really crazy stuff but the idea that Undocumented Immigrants are coming to steal jobs and kill everyone is just as flagrantly false as anything. Okay, Qults trying to make sense of Trumps nutty speech where he claimed to of beaten Elton John in everything even though he didn't do anything is really up there in insanity.

I remember a goon once started an ARG out of random nothings that got an amazing amount of traction in a day or two; he pulled the plug when goons started playing it and, I guess, it got too close to home. But the dynamics were remarkably similar.

I'm thinking of something that was run by a trio of goons who had quietly built up a fake FYAD-like message board for "cereal" killers to talk about their hobby with each other through coded phrases. I forget exactly why but it's some point they had one of their serial killers claim they were about to kill someone in an obscure Utah town, and then in a truly bizarre twist of fate someone in that obscure Utah town with the exact same name wound up in the local papers for being murdered.
