I do think most Qanon people believe the virus is real, they just think its a chinese manufactured virus (or natural and released here by china) and also not any worse than the flu
Reminds me of this Countering Extremism report on Covid-19 and conspiracy theories, where

quote:

Another analysis found that those who believed that COVID-19 was created in a lab were over twice as likely to have met up with friends during lockdown, and to believe ‘too much fuss is being made about coronavirus’.

Like, surely if you believed that the virus was a lab designed bioweapon you'd be more scared of it than if you believed that it was a naturally occurring thing 'like the flu', but I guess they're under no obligation to be even internally consistent.

I dont think its internally inconsistent to think its just a really shoddy weak virus that was made. But ultimately every excuse is just serving the end goal of not compromising their personal comfort even a little.

But like what if it's not? :ohdear: What if the virus is the microchip, and it lets China remotely control you?

But yes, the only way you can square the two is if the real conspiracy is "I don't like change in my routine :(" because in the swamp of pop culture that Q draws from, lab designed bioweapons are generally not a reason to not worry about something or write it off as 'just the flu'.

Obviously, if the virus is sufficiently lab designed, they can turn it on and off. So it's flu-like for the general public, but it causes heart attacks in the members of FOXHOUND.

(Why doesn't the virus target people who know too much, because they've been listening to Q? Because Q talks in a code so the government doesn't know :rolleyes: )

Because if it's a bioweapon it's a terrorist attack and terrorist only win if you get scared.

Right down to some religious leaders calling for a Christmas truce in the war on the virus, as if it's going to agree to something.

In nearly any lovely Q-tier movie or book featuring a bioweapon, the people claiming it's 'just the flu' generally don't get very good endings though.

Like qanon claim to be concerned for society and the mole children yet don't mind or notice that the q-drops happen on a site notorious for nazi's and very questionable piccies.

I think there's a big contrarian, "wake up sheeple" attraction to it. When Nigel Farrage, arch anti-Europe Brexiteer recently announced he was pivoting to an anti-lockdown campaign, I thought "of course, that's what you do".

The president is a bumbling, attention-deficit silver spoon infant? No, he's actually a crusader for the common man!
Syrian civil war, with the government using chemistry weapons and secret police? Clearly we should support Assad and their heroic Russian allies!
A runaway pandemic engulfs the world, filling hospitals, slaughtering people you know? It's all fake, a hoax!

This almost goes without saying. so many of these pathetic q-anons who have lost their family when they post their sad balogna holidays always say something like "I wish my had my family back...they'll know I was right"

Everyone is going insane because it is a coping mechanism to deal with the fact that it’s all obvious bullshit, and they need increasingly bizarre reasons to continue believing everything will work out and that they are right, and cannot admit that they’ve been fully bamboozled this whole time.

I don’t think many people believe COVID is fake. I don’t think most Qanons truly think there are millions of mole children. If that were the case, what horrifying world do you live in where you are content to sit, and wait, and not take any meaningful action while trump dithers for four years on it? Everyone says they believe this stupid poo poo because magical thinking is the only way to cope. Trump is a huge loving moron and a dipshit, so his supporters need to come up with a bunch of half-believed excuses to ignore the fact they got suckered. Many of them know, deep down, intuitively that this is wrong, but it’s like sports: there are no direct consequences to them, and they don’t want to lose face by admitting their team sucks.

We live in this environment, because the government in America is so hosed up and dysfunctional and predatory, that the system has to be stupid and focus on conning everyone into not thinking about anything for more than five seconds, or else we risk it all falling apart. This is why you can’t get a word in edgewise to your trumpy relatives: by saying they are living in a stupid fantasy, you are telling them they got fooled and have been fooled completely for a long time. The system they had a hand in building just *cant* be all that bad can it? It’s easier to believe a bullshit half-hearted conspiracy theory than face the fact you were wrong, and you are responsible for all this, and trump running his campaign as if he hasn’t been president the last four years and that this is all not directly his fault really resonates with that mindset.

None of this poo poo is logical, it’s not meant to be logical, it is just a preferable outcome to people correctly assigning blame. If we stopped for five seconds to stop and talk about what the gently caress is actually wrong in this country, a lot of important people would stop making so much money as a consequence. We can’t NOT elect a senile idiot president, because sane people would change things.

I want to know why it is that Trump needs to focus on stopping Hillary when they are selling these at CVS:



Clearly the global pedophile elite is so entrenched that they feel safe selling masks made of the “soft skin” of children and then printing ten feet of coupons on the receipt after you buy it to reward you.

Trump and his people are just lulling the deep state into a false sense of security. They'll let Biden think he's president when actually the inauguration will be fake and trump will still be double secret president. Very very soon, he'll return to the white house and usher in a thousand years of peace and cast HRC into the lake of fire.

Most of them are cowards who will just retreat back into fox news and recycle the same tired poo poo about the Clintons from 1996, but some will break all the way and shoot some people. They already caught two of them trying to shoot up Philadelphia.

The split that's already emerging is "What do we do going forward" and "This is the final act to placate the Deep State and the net will drop on Biden's phony inauguration" Both accuse the other's lack of faith as the reason Trump will leave the White House on January 20th so I'm sure poo poo will be nice and civil going forward

Although, they managed to make it through Q totally loving up the 2018 midterm results. I could see them looking it as just another setback in the long war against the Cabal. I'm sure some people will tune out though.

Of course, the wild card is Trump just deciding to lean into Q as part of his turn to media.
