They just took full advantage of the ignorance and gullibility of people once QAnon became a thing. That's also SOP.

It's been so useful to Russia, I just assumed they invented it.

Try to be anonymous when dealing with these folks. I got set up by police, not in this way, but also for political reasons. We’re one election away from the same Russian kleptocracy.

Police already operate illegally, just with a more personal agenda. It’s not such a big leap for them to start supporting Trump’s fascist leadership, a group that wants to further police corruption.
