The mass execution cult has roots in three decades of demonization.

A clear indication that Marjorie Taylor Greene was more than a dabbler in QAnon was her 2018 endorsement of “Frazzledrip,” one of the most grotesque tendrils of the movement’s mythology. You “have to go down a number of rabbit holes to get that far,” said Mike Rothschild, whose book about QAnon, “The Storm Is Upon Us,” comes out later this year.
The lurid fantasy of Frazzledrip refers to an imaginary video said to show Hillary Clinton and her former aide, Huma Abedin, assaulting and disfiguring a young girl, and drinking her blood. It holds that several cops saw the video, and Clinton had them killed.
When Greene posted a picture of Donald Trump with the mother of the slain N.Y.P.D. officer Miosotis Familia on Facebook, one of her commenters described Frazzledrip and wrote, “This was another Hillary hit.” Greene replied, “Yes Familia,” then continued, “I post things sometimes to see who knows things. Most the time people don’t. I’m glad to see your comment.”
Contemplating Frazzledrip, it occurred to me that QAnon is the obscene apotheosis of three decades of Clinton demonization. It’s other things as well, including a repurposed version of the old anti-Semitic blood libel, which accused Jews of using the blood of Christian children in their rituals, and a cult lusting for mass public executions. According to the F.B.I., it’s a domestic terror threat.
I was curious what Clinton thinks about all this, and it turns out she’s been thinking about it a lot. “For me, it does go back to my earliest days in national politics, when it became clear to me that there was a bit of a market in trafficking in the most outlandish accusations and wild stories concerning me, my family, people that we knew, people close to us,” she told me.

recurring in various threads as I counted, didn't stop to read. Maybe Trump was just a diversion. 
Rush Limbaugh - under the direction of his evil ultra-wealthy boss Richard Mellon Scaife - started the whole anti-Hillary campaign almost immediately in 1992 when Bill Clinton became President. It has been non-stop garbage and hatred out of his mouth ever since, even though Scaife has been dead probably 10 years already.
This is just further proof that the Qanons as well as all the RWNJs whatever gang they're in, are incapable of forming their own opinions. They just spew whatever garbage lies are fed to them.
Hillary Clinton warned that there was a "vast right-wing conspiracy" working against her, her husband and the Democratic Party. Many scoffed, claimed she was guilty of hyperbole and paranoia.
The GOP laughed. "Nonsense," they said.
Although these were the same people who endorsed Limbaugh et al who repeatedly accused Hillary of murdering Vince Foster as well as numerous financial crimes. No evidence, of course. Just the relentless smears.
How prescient of Hillary. Again. 
have documented the vast RW conspiracy against the will of the people, not that the conspiracists would describe it that way. Certainly not the wealthy RWers future justice Lewis Powell wowed with his memorandum outlining how they could get control of a liberalism-gone-mad New Deal America and move it right. Or that religious leaders allying with them to destroy ungodly secular domination would. Or that white male nationalists determined to preserve "their" white male America would.
Charles Koch wouldn't either, even though he now calls their collective product "whatamess." What an imbecile. When he was growing up, Germany was still rebuilding out of the rubble of the whatamess that people like him helped create there.
It wasn't just against Hillary Clinton although she became the favorite whipping girl because she was a woman, a educated professional who had the audacity to speak up, have an opinion, push back. She was/is everything the Strongmen admirers hate, a skeptic to their overblown masculinity myth. And she didn't mind telling people that. Same thing with the pseudo-Christians; they want their women in the background, meek but always supportive, even if they're sporting a black eye.
And yes, I've read of Lewis Powell and his corporate blueprint for America. The same ole buzzwords--the radical Left, communism, socialism all evoked by the Civil Rights movement and the stoking of fear, coming mayhem. I'm sure Hillary Clinton was well aware of Powell's viewpoint. We could even take it back to Ford and Lindbergh, both Nazi sympathizers, and the various assassination plots against FDR.
Further still, of course. America has a checkered political past to say the least.
Yet I still think HR felt/sensed the tremors of the current earthquake early on, then tried to warn us in 2016. Basket of deplorables? Spot on. There is no other Donald Trump--what you see is what you get?
If anything the latter was an understatement. What we saw multiplied by 100 is what we got.
Yes, and Mr. Wattamess's father, Fred Chase Koch, was a founding member of the John Birch Society. The acorns don't fall far from the Crazy Tree.
The madness has had a very long run.
the engineered decline of worker wellbeing, then running herself, the election of Obama, legalization of gay marriage by Supreme Court fiat, increasing rage and anxiety. The conspirators had fueled their very long run with the madness they'd developed at such length among the right, but then the madness took over.
"What we saw multiplied by 100 is what we got." And they. The Koch alliance dumped the Tea Party when it went renegade, but too little too late!
