    Default Trump campaign courts QAnon, identified by the FBI as a violent threat

    The Trump campaign’s director of press communications, for example, went on a QAnon program and urged listeners to “sign up and attend a Trump Victory Leadership Initiative training.”

    QAnon iconography has appeared in official campaign advertisements targeting battleground states. And the White House’s director of social media and deputy chief of staff for communications, Dan Scavino, has gone from endorsing praise from QAnon accounts to posting their memes himself.

    Its effects were catalogued last year in an FBI intelligence bulletin listing QAnon among the “anti-government, identity based, and fringe political conspiracy theories” that “very likely motivate some domestic extremists to commit criminal, sometimes violent activity.”

    Trump retweets a lot of their nonsense, so this does not surprise me.

    Outside the Las Vegas Convention Center, Kayleigh McEnany raised a microphone to a mega-fan and asked what it felt like to be acknowledged by President Trump at his February rally in Sin City.

    At the time a spokeswoman for Trump’s reelection campaign, McEnany nodded as the supporter said the shout-out was most meaningful because of the words on the shirt he was wearing, which he read aloud: “Where we go one, we go all,” the motto of QAnon conspiracy theorists who believe Trump is battling a cabal of deep-state saboteurs who worship Satan and traffic children for sex.

    False narrative YET AGAIN. The Q Anon movement does NOT support violence whatsoever. In fact it warns against it and talks about unity and getting along with one another instead of dividing. There is probably some things that can be said against the Q movement,..... but promoting violence isnt one of them. This argument is total bullshit. They promote unity and hate division with a passion, in fact their motto is " where we go one we go all"

    In other words, they are the antithesis of the modern lib. No wonder libs hate them.

    Furthermore,....there is in fact a cabal responsible for much/most of the suffering in this world. A person can either choose to believe that or not, everyone is free to make the choice. BUT......before choosing what to believe at the very least put in the time to research the subject as much as can be done so that you are basing your opinion from a position of knowledge instead of just taking some writers word for it.

    Imagine still thinking it's a conspiracy theory at this point. Real arrests have been made. If you refuse to look at the evidence it doesn't make it just a theory. You don't get to ignore evidence and then claim there is none unless you're simply dishonest, which is of course what all you liberals are

    Could care less what that says. I put in the time to form my OWN opinion. Quite a bit of time actually. They are non violent and promote unity between all people regardless of economic status, race, political affiliation, or just about everything else. The reason I say " just about" is they do promote Christian positions pretty heavily but I find no problem in that.

    I can tell you this for sure.........When it comes to the Trump/Russia stuff the Q drops have run up a score kinda like 199 to Zero over the mainstream news. And they did it YEARS in advance. Whatever that means who knows,....but it is very interesting. Furthermore.........Q anon readers knew all about Epstein, his island, the goings on there, the outcome, the visitors to the Island, ect ect a full year before " most people" even knew very much about Epstein at all or in many cases who he even was. I also find that pretty interesting.

    Q anon also made several posts about big tech launching an information warfare campaign by changing the algorithms in the search engines, shadow banning, and making vids simply go POOF and be gone from the web a full year in advance of it happening. Again, kind of interesting.
