Florida is a red state now, so those numbers aren’t surprising.

Also Covid has definitely had a rally around the flag effect on state leadership, and FL owned the MSM by having only the third worst outbreak in the country.

Who the **** is Candace Owens?

Charlie Kirk's one black friend.

[NTP66]

Is Charlie Kirk the pedo looking creep?

Is Charlie Kirk the pedo looking creep?

He looks like a Canadian from South Park

[NTP66]

Yes to both, apparently.

It was a joke, you f*cking nerds...

Who the **** is Candace Owens?

[NTP66]

I recall the video, but not the reference.

[nocera]

Oh lucky you. Her video was everywhere following the George Floyd death and republicans ate it up.

[Kaiser]

I don't see the royal seal of jesse jackson, so I'm not treating that "confession" as official black correspondence.

Originally, QAnon theorists believed that Trump would resume his place in the White House on March 4, the standing presidential Inauguration Day prior to the 20th Amendment's passage in 1933. Inaugurations took place on January 20, the day President Joe Biden was sworn into office earlier this year, after that.


Aware of the March 4 conspiracy, federal agencies including the U.S. Capitol Police and Department of Homeland Security prepared for possible uprisings. Many of the Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol complex on January 6 were QAnon affiliates.

However, over the past month, prominent conspiracists within the QAnon internet community began to doubt the March 4 theory.

Alex Kaplan, a senior researcher at right-wing media watchdog Media Matters for America, showcased the growing skepticism among QAnon influencers in an ongoing Twitter thread. The thread included screenshots of their posts to various chat platforms, such as Telegram, describing March 4 as a "false flag" constructed by mainstream news organizations and internal double agents to deceive true QAnon proponents.

"Can't help but get the feeling that these 'March 4 true inauguration' stories are planned disinfo being peddled by the [injected] anons to dupe people into spreading probably nonsense theories that make the whole movement look dumb," one QAnon influencer wrote in an online forum early last month, according to a screenshot that Kaplan shared to Twitter on February 10. Kaplan redacted all QAnon supporters' names prior to posting the screen captures.

Right up there with end of the world puppets. Changing dates as they come and nothing happens.

Implying that it takes outside manipulation and planned disinformation to make the movement look dumb.

Hot take...Qanon ain't anything and won't be in the zeitgeist in a year.

At best, it's a way to locate rubes to recruit them into more dangerous hate groups.

I think that's the problem though. I've seen more people send this type of stuff on Facebook than I ever have. This thread breaks down what some of these people are thinking.

[Freddy Rumsen]

I have oodles of Trump voter friends on FB and I never see this stuff.

Y'all know some weird people.

[Morkle]

"type of stuff" is mean to be more misinformation type articles about COVID and not this outright constitution QA things.

there are 30-40 million trump voters who think the election was rigged, and have found each other in online communities to vent, share conspiracies and plan the odd insurrection attempt here and there.

but of those 30-40 million, i'm gonna wager <1% believes in the frazzle drip pizza shop stuff. certainly less than 10%.

"QAnon" has become a euphemism for the vast, diverse collection of alt-right idiots.

Islam’s inherent violence is part of the equation. You take a group of insincere elites, target disenfranchised and desperate followers and use the scripture agains their weak wills to justify a violent act. It’s unique to Islam, IMO.

Evangelicals aren’t using a verse in the Bible to justify racism or insurrection attempts. At least not as overtly as the concepts of Jihad and murdering non believers allows Islam to

What do you mean when you say "disenfranchised" and "desperate"?
