Maybe you should do better checking? I think the evidence is starting to look really bad for Matt. Just as you believe the evidence is looking really bad for Hunter.
Despite this uncertainty, QAnon followers have already reached a verdict: innocent. That’s a curious and revealing thing. The Gaetz story, in broad strokes, seems like it would be huge news for the QAnon crowd, touted everywhere as “proof” that elite pedophiles have become so brazen even the deep state had to bestir itself to intervene. Its genesis under the Trump administration should make that explanation an easy fit. That’s exactly how the Jeffrey Epstein story is used.
But Gaetz is a Trump ally, and QAnon is nothing if not tribal. The group’s grand narrative — namely, that our government is run by a secret cabal of Satan-worshipping, cannibalistic pedophiles being exposed by a pseudonymous intelligence official called “Q” — holds Trump as a messianic figure, and in-group loyalty is incredibly strong. Thus did QAnon community discussions in the Telegram app immediately jump to Gaetz’s defense, dubbing the Times report yet another “SMEARING of MAGA Patriots.”
Why do you care? They have zero authority and always will. Your wokies are much more dangerous than a few dark web Q people. Your wokies are setting policy and destroying real people. Innocent people.
