has trump ever retweeted any Q stuff? i wonder how he feels about it, like it must be really weird for people to make up a conspiracy theory about you that has no basis in reality but youre the hero?

he has retweeted some cryptic poo poo about The Storm. at a minimum he and his campaign are aware of it and capitalizing on it and i wouldn’t be at all surprised if they have been actively spreading it via surrogates

He's skirted really close to it and has RT'd accounts that are obsessed with it.

my read is that the trump campaign is well aware of it and spreads it via surrogates but that they've somehow gotten it through to trump himself to avoid anything explicitly supporting it. if he were entirely unaware, i would have expected him to at least accidentally retweeted it a few times, given how often he gets content from them otherwise

Isn't a key part of the Q mythology that the President is doing all his good pedo-busting work in secret (except for the little hints and winks that he sends out to his apophenic Q fans)? If the President started actually openly talking up Q, that would upend the whole thing.

That's the explanation for why he doesn't come out and just talk about it, not the reason he doesn't talk about it. There's a particular strain which is actively working to get a reporter to ask him about it, under the belief that he would then be forced to publicly acknowledge everything if asked.

But, like CodfishCartographer said, even if he straight up said it's bullshit and anyone who believes it is a moron, they'd just spin it as what he needs to say to arrest Tom Hanks or Nikki Sixx or whoever the pedophile of the day is

You're giving them far more credit for consistency than they've ever deserved lmfao. There are definitely pockets of the community that already think Trump is openly acknowledging them and they are excited, not disillusioned. It's not a cogent belief system, it's Calvinball for online boomers.

Yeah, he 100% doesn't understand it, but I can believe he is capable of being trained not to interact with certain hashtags.

Or someone muted them on his account and he hasn't noticed / they told him they were something else, so our big wet boy just trundles along without a care in the world

There's really no upside to interacting with it, it's already a fervent cult devoted to him and his holy ghost equivalent. Doing anything besides letting them keep gassing themselves up just runs the risk of bursting the bubble. I guess unless he wanted to see if he could get them to kill or suicide en masse.

I'm pretty sure he's going to top HG's 39 body count with just his rallies. And that's not counting poo poo like screwing up the initial testing, turning mitigation tactics into a partisan issue, or pushing everyone to re-open.

q shirts in the parking lots of his rallies are like grateful dead shirts in a phish parking lot. iirc at first they let them get into camera shots, then they started managing the audience behind him and directly in camera shots so you would only see them in cutaways. in oklahoma recently they banned all q shirts and signs, but i imagine they won't do that again given the attendance issues there. not sure what they did at rushmore, i didnt see any reporting on it.

Someday a reporter will ask him about it directly and the answer will be equally problematic for normal people and disappointing for Q-heads.

the muscly man on the right is some actual real-world spokesman for the brand. the woman character is all worked up over him, because this is how the author thinks to hype this guy up.

there's four panels of dialog explaining who the guy is, then pivoting into how he's endorsing this dipshit water. then a fat turd shows up and yells a slur at the guy on the right, who decks him

you, the reader, are meant to identify with the muscly man, and be intrigued by what he vaguely says about the water. having that slur yelled at you by some fat turd is meant to be your greatest fear, but through the power of righteousness and the product, the muscly-man wins the day, and so do you
