Anyone doubt QAnon wants a dictator in US?

Ben Collins of NBC News highlighted one currently circulating amongst Facebook’s QAnon community members — that Mr Trump never actually left office, is secretly still president, and is carrying out public hangings of his “Deep State” enemies in front of the White House.

The alleged “evidence” for this theory is a doctored image that merges together photos of the security fencing around the executive mansion, what appears to be stands built for the inauguration parade, and an image that shows public executions in Kuwait in 2013.

The post refers to “10 Days of Darkness” thought by believers to indicate the executions have been ongoing for ten days.

The outrageous conspiracy theories and baseless allegations spread by QAnon followers were drawn into sharp focus when Marjorie Taylor Greene was elected to Congress as a representative for Georgia.

An early believer in QAnon, Ms Greene’s social media accounts showed she had called for the executions of prominent Democrats, and questioned the events of 9/11 and whether the Sandy Hook and Parkland school shootings had occurred.

His twitter thread about it. Normally I would post it, however the photoshopped image includes actual hanging.

I wonder how much this can backfire on GOP itself.

We really need better mental health care in the US.

I seriously haven’t got time for silly people like qanon....conspiracy theorists in general do my nut in, but those clowns take the biscuit.

I think mainstream republicans would want one at this point. They've explicitly even thrown around the 'benevolent dictator' trope this past year. As David Frum said, if conservatives find that they cannot win democratically, they won't abandon conservatism, they'll abandon democracy.

You do. Hell I think most western countries do.

However here the idea is that Trump has deep state agents(?) executed without medias attention is... baffling. Public executions.

That's the point I had to stop reading. "Trump has secretly remained president and is performing public executions."

This is comparable to the Flat Earth Society bragging that they have members all around the globe.

Flat Earth began as a joke, just like r/the_donald did. I don't think qanon ever intended to be a joke.

Narrator: But they are, in fact, a joke.

Hopefully Trump is quick getting back on the road so that this fire doesn't dies.

jesus, these people.

I would say what I mentioned in OP is a reason to no longer think this is a joke. Unless it is point out the weak education in US.

Edit: A word

@horgen: Touche.

Independent is dredging Facebook comments from a Twitter feed?

Which made me hope someone would quickly post something to counter or prove me wrong.

But if all you got is that...

Prove what wrong? That there are nasty, crazy, hyperbolic and/or silly comments routinely posted on the internet?

I look forward to Independent's new headline tomorrow - "We tested the Atlantic ocean, it remains wet."

How do people actually believe this!!??!

I guess that's all you got.

This is fundamentally wrong.

It didn't begin as a joke?

I am not sure I want to know how... or why.

Yeah but you also have MTG saying Trump owns the GOP, it's his, and no one elses a few days ago. The same MTG who got a standing ovation by the GOP a few days ago.

The party really needs to decide what it wants to be, because it seems like a cult for some of it's members at the moment. This includes Senators and Congressmen, not just rando tweets.

the most easily fooled people on the planet. any bad photoshop job will fool these dummies

How is that going to help with their IQ, they are just incredibly dumb - there seems to be a lot of this in the US.

Mtg?

Yes, the party needs to get back on track on key issues and leave the crude silliness behind.

Marjory Taylor Green

What's the context though? What was the speech/circumstances?

They are on a heavy dose of copium and cognitive dissonance.

I hear now the Qanon people are declaring Trump can be seated again in March and worried there may be new security concerns if that takes traction with militant right
