There are still stories of QAnon assholery to smirk at (which, to be honest, is why I bookmarked the site) but also posts describing family members breaking free of the cult and even personal confessionals. The mod (quoted below) is ex-Q. This is good. Those left behind who haven't actually done anything wrong need an exit.

It's a national security issue, it's a widescale public mental health crisis. Q is like a coronavirus of the mind, highly infectious with a low mortality rate. Like any virus its mutating, with different countries having different strains. Some more infectious than others. Now its a race to find a cure before it mutates again into something much more lethal. If we add to their despair, if they think there is nowhere to go, everyone is against them and there is no peer group for them they will join these groups.
Q has taken some of their humanity, labelling them as QAnon, telling them they are part of a separate group, trained them to act like sheep (Where We Go One We Go All) and radicalized them with lurid tales of blood and vengeance. We have the power to give them some of their humanity back by forgiving the ones we can and who did little more than post on the internet and make fools of themselves at parties.
I know that many readers have hard feelings, as an XQ, trust me when I say I truly, deeply, from the bottom of my heart despise them. I know that family members have been relentlessly abused, stressed to the breaking point, so has mine. Something about QAnon appealed to them initially. For some it was the children. For others corruption. For others, the idea of an overarching cabal providing them an element of control they lack in their own lives. The world they see did not match that which they want to see. Many of these folks have taken no action outside words and speech.
Soon a subsection may be converted into a force for action. If we do not reconcile with them, reconcile with each other, all will get pulled down. Cults and niche groups like the PB and Neo Nazis prey on the isolated, those who feel there is nowhere to go. One of the PB’s tactics is to shame Qultist’s for “trusting the plan” and not “doing something”. That may be highly effective on Qultist’s right now.
