QAnon is not dead, it's just evolving.

I spoke to @rothschildmd about his new book "The Storm is Upon Us" that comes out tomorrow, and about how Qanon has not gone away, it's just changed.

QAnon Isn't Dead. It's Evolving Into Something Far Worse.
Mike Rothschild, the author of the new book “The Storm Is Upon Us,” is very concerned about QAnon’s “true believers.” The FBI agrees.

As QAnon supporters began storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, Mike Rothschild was sitting at home on the other side of the country, putting what he thought were the finishing touches to “The Storm Is Upon Us,” his book about the conspiracy movement.

“I was watching it on TV and I had the sound off, as I was writing,” Rothschild told VICE News from his California home this week. “I kept looking up and it kept getting worse and worse. And I'm going, 'Is this actually happening? Am I just really tired and hallucinating this?'”

But the events of Jan. 6 were an all-too-real culmination of years of conspiracy theories and lies being spread online by QAnon adherents and amplified by figures like former president Donald Trump.. And for Rothschild, who has been documenting the QAnon movement from its very earliest days on 4chan in 2017, it meant a lot more work.

“Once I realized what was going on and how connected to QAnon it was, I realised I had to throw out the entire introduction I'd already written and completely rewrite the first chapter.”

1. No believers in Qanon will ever believe anything written by a Rothschild

2. The US has been on the path to christofascist theocracy since Reagan...

Q and whatever is coming will just be changes in scenery along the way.

3. The Christian Right, the Nationalists, the white supremacists.

They see themselves as the religious, the patriots, the defenders of the American Way.

They are being exploited by sophisticated advertising and targeting methods.

They can, thanks to modern technology, gather virtually unlimited information on individuals, use that information to group people according to basic personality traits and values, and manipulate them accordingly.
