Conservatives routinely inflate book sales to get on best seller lists:

The Dresden Files are so bad. So formulaic. I read 3 of them because I liked the concept so much, and I was trying to give them a chance, and they are all bad all in the same way. A fan told me "they get better you just have to read 7 or so books in."

They get better after about book 3, but there's still a fair gap between that and anything that could be mistaken for literature. But if you're not un the mood for light-and-trashy then you're reading the wrong genre.

Q gives us proofs so we can show the normies the truth and get them ready so Q can finally reveal himself openly.

He also gives us disinfo that makes us look like fools and dupes to normies constantly to uhhh confuse the Deep State.

The books get really good when the other characters start telling Dresden to stop doing stuff like acting overly chivalrous because it's demeaning to the women.

The hilarious thing about this conspiracy theory is that every time you explain it to someone to mock the people stupid enough to believe in its monetary redenominated, there is a 50% chance they will acquire Iraqi dinar because of their fear of missing out.

I'm answering this one first because this is when I knew that my parents were susceptible to internet scams. They were way ahead on this one and invested back in (I think) 2009. I sent back a few emails with links showing that it was a scam. I then got called an idiot for not trusting "the experts." The expert being some deadbeat my aunt was dating at the time.

My father passed in August and, when going through his financial stuff, he still had money invested in dinars that he didn't touch. I think it appreciated a few dollars total. He had always been conservative, but he didn't really fall for the Q stuff and thought it was all made up. My mom, however, had really gotten into it and things did not go well during a family visit a few weeks before my dad's passing.

Basically I stopped taking to my mom right after helping my sister get my father's affairs in order. I visited their house with my wife (who is black and the daughter of an immigrant), and my mom spewed some pretty hateful conservative talking points at her. If you ever poke in Voat threads or where Q people post, she was definitely using some threads centered around how to tell people of color to stop being victims all the time.
