WATCH: AOC Is A Double Agent For QAnon per Right-Wing Conspiracy Theory

I do so enjoy surveilling right-wing broadcasts. If I listen to what’s going on in the real world, I hear about floods, shootings, movie premieres, inflation, the normal fodder of life. But the minute I go over to Wingnuttia, everything is cloak and dagger. Nothing is as it seems. We live in a dark and dangerous world and only a few intrepid souls can decode the mystery for you. The latest is that AOC is a double agent for QAnon and Donald Trump is speaking in code. Seriously.

Let’s get started, you don’t want to miss a syllable. We’ll wait while you get the popcorn.

Back now?

Maybe they’re getting AOC confused with Lauren Boebert or Marge Greene. Their extremism may alienate more Republicans than it inspires.

Let’s move on to the next conspiracy theory of the day. QAnon is experiencing a “power vacuum” because Q hasn’t tweeted in a year. Financial Times did an expose, but they’re behind a paywall so we’ll take the synopsis from Raw Story.

Correspondent Siddharth Venkataramakrishnan reported the “mega conspiracy” has three main sections now.

“First there is “QAnon proper, still rooted in a Make America Great American mentality. This strand continues to focus on the deep state and Donald Trump’s heroic stance against it, with fantastical concepts like the return of JFK Jr for the next election cycle. Then there is a pastel or lower-case Q,” he explained. “The new form, which emerged last November, is linked to the Stop The Steal movement. Just like with ‘QAnon proper’, this focuses on the US election being rigged by the Democrats, but includes even whackier elements like the belief that Joe Biden has actually been replaced by a clone.”

And the clone is on a movie set, scaled to 3/5 the size of the actual White House. Don’t forget that.

The movement has had trouble growing in Q’s absence.

“The absence of QAnon as a central, undisputed text for followers to believe, however, has had an impact,” he reported. “The recent gathering of Q followers at Dallas’ Dealey Plaza to greet John F Kennedy Junior’s triumphant return on the basis his death was faked is both evidence of the continued power of QAnon’s ideology, and the pressures of factionalisation.” […]

The Dallas vigil has been spearheaded by Michael Protzman, who believes in numerology and thinks Trump is speaking in code.

Venkataramakrishnan interviewed Mike Rains who runs the Adventures in HellwQrld podcast tracking QAnon. He said the situation is harming the cult’s growth.

“The things that radicalised people were either the actual Q drops and the movement burgeoning from 2017 to 2020, and then it got a secondary shot in the arm in 2020 when you had Covid and you had the presidential election. In 2021, there really hasn’t been anything to push people into it — politics is basically cut and dry,” he explained. “Nobody’s joining the movement right now because there’s no incentive.”

Politics is anything but cut and dried, but granted, normal political scuffling doesn’t offer the kind of pseudo-science based hysteria as demons in the coronavirus vaccine or international plots from China, using Italian satellites, to take over the voting machines used in the 2020 election. Admittedly, Medicare, paid leave, Social Security and all that, however necessary they may be in the real world, lack that kind of drama.

Speaking of drama, here’s what a QAnon, anti-vaxxer pulled right here in PZ’s backyard.

An antivaxxer interrupted a job fair in Las Vegas and called Governor Sisolak, a “monster.”

Charming people, aren’t they? It’s good to know that this movement of abject lunatics is not expanding. Best news we’ve gotten all day so far.
