Someone I admire and respect for their keen and successful business sense was a huge follower... so disappointed when I found out.
This is someone earning six figures a month in income, highly successful, smart, charismatic... and a Qanon follower... >.<
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Six figures a month?! So what you're saying is, they have a lot of leisure time, then. Guess golf wasn't as exciting as YouTube conspiracies

"Got played". By Trump, or Q, or the Democrats. I haven't seen evidence that any blame themselves for being gullible and stupid.

sometimes you just have to let people find things out for themselves.
HouseofWolves312
Genuinely curious what makes Elon Musk a PoS. Asking for a friend
'covid lockdown doesn't apply to my tesla workers' & planning indentured servitude to pay people's way to his Mars colony, recently.
Err.. Indentured servitude?? Surely this is a mistake, at least a misunderstanding. Do we have credible sources?
His tweets. He said people who can't afford the trip could go on credit and have jobs to work off their passage debt. Sounds ominous.
People put too much stock into what he says and too little into what he does.

DidItForScience
I still don't understand how people believed some bullshit that started on 4chan. WTF people?!
Alexoyeah
Me neither. But just discredit anything just because from there.
Huh? Are those instructions? Not everything from 4chan is shit, but when you see some conspiracy theory shitpost. Skepticism is called for.
Shit I forgot a "don't "
Roachester
Remember the whole "microwave your phone to charge it" fiasco? A little misinformation goes a long way on the internet, regardless of origin
It’s the combination of misinformation, lack of critical thinking skills, and lack of accountability.

4chan trolls: Making idiots do terrible things for the lulz since 2003.
uzerok
One or more: They were never taught critical thinking skills, don't bother to apply them, or lack the mental capacities to do so.

Selling snake oil is an old con. The whole point is to convince people to never doubt the salesman. Sadly, it works well.

In case you're unaware, he talks like that because of a medical condition
Yes and thats what i think they all sound like

I was on Gab that day specifically for that. Only about 40% are actually giving up. The other 60% think some miracle is still coming.

TBH I think we should push the Shadowprez conspiracy. Making the Useful Idiots actually useful would be amazing.
Ark161
hey, that is 40% that I will happily tell that yeah, they got played, now we know, lets move on sensibly now.
That 40% is still right-wing extremists who believe practically all the crazy Qanon tenets, they've just admitted Q himself is not real.
rumandbass
yea they moved the goal posts to march 4th right?
That was one of them I saw. Also a bunch of others. There's more goalposts than grains of sand at a beach.

Like the end of the world according to the Mayan Calendar, they're just gonna keep moving the date.
Of course the Myans never thought it'd be the end of the world. Just a calendar rollover. It was later crazies that invented that.
Lol yes I keep wanting to make this parallel!

TheDKG
The summation of so many of those peoples beliefs are summed in two sentences: "So you believe the conspiracy theory?" 1/?
"Most of you want to discredit facts by calling them conspiracy theories" ... "And if he IS elected THEN you'll agree it was a ... 2/?
"conspiracy theory right?"..."Well no I'll just feel like my vote no longer counts in the U.S." 3/4
So you are saying if they are YOUR beliefs, they are good as fact and this means our facts now have to contend with belief. Bonkers.

I mean if they wanna catch the predators and round them up, they gotta look at the GOP first. So many Epstein associations.

I think it’s the opposite actually. Don’t forget Trump was a Democrat back then.

I think it is very important part that the predators are ONLY in the opposite "team", and they only support "heroes".
Nikolai5
Because the organisation is made to get followers that will continue to be followers once an authoritarian regime is in place.
It's like a cult. They work on the people to the point where they will remain loyal even though they're being put through shit.

It's kinda amazing they have this huge blind spot.
They absolutely do. When I point this out, they immediately deflect to "well... THE GAYS DO DRAG IN FRONT OF CHILDREN." O... okay? And?

They thought Trump was gonna be 'All According to Keikaku!' and do a Jedi Temple Massacre at the Inauguration and become President for Life
