Q-anon broadly was never about saving any kids or fighting evil.
For the poor, dumb believers, it was always about figuring out some word puzzles so you can become a chosen-one, journey-of-the-hero type protagonist who saves the day and is hoisted to a glorious victory on the shoulders of cheering masses.
The people who believed it were not bright people, they don’t understand politics broadly, they have no sense of scale for national affairs, they are… lets just say their mental faculties have been stunted and held back to some arbitrary point. Whatever the word for that is.
We haven’t left the liberal world of tone policing and word-crimes unfortunately. When we started attacking the way people talk instead of what they talk about, it was the last nail in the coffin of progressivism, right after guns and flags.
Groups of armed, patriotic people united in a cause and unflinching in their language have been the political capital that have overthrown systems and preserved democracy or at least order and governing for better outcomes for literally thousands of years. (Or they are what we need to defend against other groups of armed nationalists.) I am still baffled why we let this hyper-soft, stupid, pandering-to-the-lowest-most-sensitive-denominator movement represent progressive policy in America.

Listen, can we reclaim the word r * tarded ? Because I really struggle to use words that define just how fucking challenged some MAGAts are.

I don’t have a single thing to add to this. You’ve earned a tag, I don’t know what yet but it’s gonna be positive.
