Column: President Trump is playing a dangerous game embracing QAnon (via latimesopinion)
As I‘ve watched the Republican National Convention these last two nights, all I could think was: Where is Q? And which of the people on my television screen is a Patriot?
Patriots are QAnon adherents. What they believe is convoluted, multifarious and hard to describe. But at root, the theory holds that President Trump is trying to save the world by waging a heroic covert war against an international cabal of Satanic pedophiles, Democrats and “deep state” elites.a “fringe political conspiracy theory” by the FBI, and one that is very likely to motivate domestic extremists to engage in violence or criminal activity.
But let’s take a closer look at just what kind of people he’s welcoming into the Republican big tent.Q himself is believed by his admirers to be a senior-level Trump administration official with high — “Q level” — security clearance. Q mostly posts pronouncements, clues and exhortations. People seem to be drawn in because they like trying to unravel the enigmatic messages. Q urges them to “Do your own research” and “Don’t be a sheep” and “Follow the money.
The QAnon world is a strange and dark place, and the deeper into it you go, the more difficult it is to untangle. COVID-19 might be fake, or, perhaps, intentionally created and spread by the deep state to harm Trump’s reelection chances. JFK Jr. was assassinated, maybe. Ellen Degeneres and Tom Hanks and the Clintons and Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey are all part of a global conspiracy. Children are in danger.
