I think you're overthinking it glowing-fish. These people voted for Trump because they thought he would drain the swamp, restore American industry, etc. Now that he's in charge and none of those things have happened, they either need to accept they got taken in by a incompetent conman or go through increasingly elaborate contortions to save their egos. See, he's not under federal investigation, he's actually a secret double agent helping catch the REAL pedophiles.

Edit: To some degree everyone does this, but not everyone has a vast propaganda network dedicated to preserving their delusions.

What's the narrative reason that Q is making these drops?

It's because he's a boomer and his voters are all boomers and they associate it with the Good Times. That's all there is to it. The queer dynamics? You don't understand, Donald Trump is the manliest president who has ever existed.

What stands out to me is the sheer laziness of this choice; absolutely zero thought went into it. It has nothing to do with America, the values he wants to espouse or his messaging. It's just the very first piece of stadium music that came to mind.

One of the interesting things about Trump is his brand of fractal stupidity, where his ignorance and sloth are mirrored in every decision both big and small.

Yeah, because those things are socialism, and socialism is Bad. They know it's Bad because an enormous propaganda machine tells them so. Feed them different inputs and you'll get different outputs.

I'm not saying it'll be easy, but it's conceptually pretty simple. Get them away from the propaganda machine, give them new targets.

I also have a lot of trouble seeing what any of this loony poo poo has to do with QAnon, which is the point of this thread, not "weird communes full of robocop (??) and people who kill cats" or whatever the gently caress he's talking about.

Slandering rainbow => Slandering the Rainbow Gathering, a commune meet-up. Uglycat has talked about it before.

Exploiting robocop -> Abusing automated moderation

This basically. It makes all the people that run in screaming about how awful she is look like mean spirited assholes. Especially when it’s more or less out of the blue or in response to a single mention of a term in an otherwise presterless thread.

It's a bummer because Authoritarian research is actually fascinating but it's hard to discuss it on SA; Both because you have to disentangle it from her theories and also because it triggers a lot of knee-jerk responses to Prester

Hey if Rush Limbaugh's biographer says he wasn't political, it must be true. No way he just wrote that to continue the big lie, nope. I mean the guy spent thirty years teaching republicans how to have bad faith arguments and support open fascism, but he was "just a character"

This dumb thought process is the ENTIRE reason republicans keep using it as a defense. They're all true believers, they're all authoritarian, they're all eager to kill anyone who isn't exactly like them. Wake up.

Lmao that guy is certainly an impressive hollywood imbecile. Though I've heard Person of Interest was a pretty good show, can any fans see the deterioration of the lead's brain in real time?

Person of Interest is great in spite of Caviezel, not because of it. Watching it before knowing much about him, I still got the vibe he was difficult to work with: his character was portrayed as an incredibly attractive nigh-invincible badass, there was no situation where he was portrayed as credibly in danger. Later seasons improved on that only because the writers started treating him like Superman and wrote around him. He was also fairly wooden and unemotive as an actor; one of the best episodes worked because they rolled with this: during a stakeout his partner realizes Caviezel's character has a death wish and is doing all this dangerous stuff because he's so emotionally numb he's suicidal. They try to get him to open up and talk about it. He doesn't.

About the wall, I posted on FB once about Reagan famously saying "tear down this wall" and got lectured to "learn my history" because the Berlin Wall was to keep people IN and not OUT. Seriously, that was the argument and I didn't even l know where to begin with that. Certainly that wall won't keep people IN Mexico or anything, right? And again it's USA centric that's totally viewed by what side of that wall you happen to be on; in this case I assume the CORRECT God ordained side.

"We're keeping them OUT", you see, so it's different. Check mate, Reagan quoter.

"This is fine because of the subjective matter of which side we're on"

Yeah, that sounds about right for a conservative.

stolen from a post over on ResetEra:

Jim also hated the idea of an interracial romance between his character and another black actor, he would go on tirades with the writers about how interracial relationships shouldn't be allowed in real life. This most likely is why the character was killed off since they had planned for their romance to be a whole thing and with that not happening had to change gears.

Henson has said the kiss between their characters was Cavizel's improv so that's a big Yikes

It pisses me off when the 'Serpent Seed' belief gets handwaved as 'a kooky alien reptoid theory that used to be the main schtick of David Icke', when it is very old indeed (like, 400AD minimum), and has had received relatively recent (C19) boosting strongly associated with white supremacy:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpent_seed

Basically: Eve hosed the Serpent in the Garden of Eden, their offspring was Cain, and their malignant bloodline persists to this day. There's a deeply unpleasant man called Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò who wrote open letters to Trump in the runup to the last Presidential election, detailing the evils of Serpent Seed people:

https://www.catholic365.com/article/11540/viganos-letter-to-trump-reveals-the-battle.html

Whoever was playing Q back (probably Jim Watkins) then put a link to this very letter in their Q posts to 8chan, I remember noticing it at the time and thinking 'Well, that's not good at all'.
