We have (had) a friend whose brain was hijacked by QAnon...

[C Moon]

I'm not surprised. I didn't know her dad, but from what I heard about him, I think he may have been a neo nazi. For one thing: he hated people with disabilities. And then he himself had a debilitating stroke that put him in a wheelchair, unable to speak.

Initially, this "friend" denied COVID-19 existed. She swore that it was a political stunt to bring down Trump (I had no idea she even liked Trump at that point), AND (she did say this), she claimed that doctors and nurses were in on the lie. It was ALL faked.

Then, months later (long after I deleted her from life), she wrote to someone else..."Well, COVID-19 is a real virus—but it's being blown way out of proportion for political reasons. The statistics are all fake."

I wonder what is up next for the crazed crap they'll feed the QAnon worshipers—now that Trump has the virus, and could actually die from it.

1. I think I saw some screenshots were they are saying Trump is faking this

as a trap for the deep state to trick them into commit some illegal conspiracy and then Trump will rise up and arrest all of them and the Democrats and (insert group you don't like here) in one fell swoop.

QAnon is like the soap opera of conspiracy theories it just evolves and shifts to match the need for a changing narrative to keep with the times.

2. I knee-jerkingly believed Trump was lying at first, but I came out of that hole.

I just don't trust the MF.
But I'm fine now.

3. In the long run, reality prevails over fantasy. nt

4. QAnon has eaten the brain of my BIL.

The things he says. The things he believes. It's embarrassing & shameful. I stopped talking to him last November when he said that women were giving birth to live babies & then executing them with the doctor's help so democrats could harvest the organs. If he had been standing in front of me & not on the phone, I would have slapped him I was so angry. He believes all that shit, the pedophilia, the deep state, all of it. He used to be completely non-political. Then he retired & started watching OANN & reading rw hate sites. It took about 18 months for the full effect to reveal itself. Exactly the same amount of time it took for my democratic mother to turn hard right after listening to Rush Limbaugh every day at work for a year and a half. It's probably just as good that she died before Obama became president. She would have been a birther & a trumper & I doubt our relationship would have survived.

7. Wow!

[JHB]

5. Best "up next" bet: he was deliberately infected...

...to "prove" the severity.

If he gets off light, it will be hailed as proof it isn't so bad.

If he gets hit hard or dies, the claim will be it was a weaponized form.

Just follow the bouncing pattern.

[leftyladyfrommo]

17. Did Hillary secretly infect him? Or Obama?

Trying to kill him off?

[JHB]

20. Not personally...

She had Zombie Vince Foster do the dirty work.

[leftyladyfrommo]

21. Vince Foster has risen from the dead?

Well, that explains everything.

[JHB]

22. If you don't know that, you must have lost your Soros memo decoder ring

It's old news. Zombie Vince is the one who changed the Benghazi talking points.

[leftyladyfrommo]

23. My mood ring didn't let me know.

I am always the last to know.

6. I liken them to alcoholics at the stage where they are hiding bottles all over the house.

[Aristus]

8. Well, that explains why I wasn't in on the lie:

I'm neither a doctor nor a nurse. I'm a Physician Assistant.

When the medical community is devising hoaxes designed to bring down a Presidency., we always get left off the "To Notify" list...

[C Moon]

9. :D Sorry about that!

The best physician I've ever had was by a Physician's Assistant at Kaiser!

[Aristus]

10. I'm glad he/she gave you good medical care.

[C Moon]

15. I worded that kind of weird, but yeah. Thanks for your hard work!

[Luz]

12. A PA diagnosed my daughter when multiple drs couldn't.

Hats off to each of you

[Aristus]

13. Thank you.

[mercuryblues]

18. Well someone needs plausible deniability

incase they are found out.

[Aristus]

19. My denials are always plausible.

[SWBTATTReg]

14. Your ex-friend doesn't have a brain. You're giving them too much credit w/ crediting them w/

any smarts or brain. I call them the 'walking dead'.

Until that is, they die from the CoronaVirus (CV), at which point, it's too late, for reconciliation with the 'real world', they are seriously ill or dead by then.

[C Moon]

16. Agreed.
