Tuesday QAnon believers gathered at Dealey Plaza in Dallas awaiting an appearance of John F. Kennedy, Jr. No one with a functional brain and an IQ above 40 expected Kennedy to show up since he died in 1999. QAnon believers are convinced he has been in hiding and is coming back into the public eye to team up with Donald Trump. Some were even convinced his father, assassinated President Kennedy would also emerge from hiding at the age of 104. Here is my take on QAnon.
I think whoever is putting out these rumors has a world class sense of humor. He or she puts out crazier and crazier messages just to see how many nuts show up believing the bullshit. John F Kennedy and his 104 year old father aren’t dead. Hundreds show up waiting for them to make a public appearance in support of Donald Trump. They believe the appearance did not happen because the time wasn’t right but it will happen soon. That is some knee slapping funny shit right there. It has reenforced to me that you can fool some of the people all of the time. Is there anything QAnon will put out that they won’t believe?
I did meet one supporter when I work at the bar in Kroger. She was carrying on one Saturday afternoon and I could only catch bits of what she was saying while I waited on customers. The guy sitting next to her listened to her carry on about nonsense conspiracy theories for about 30 minutes. She paused to take a breath. When she did he looked her in the eyes and said: “You need a tinfoil hat.” There was no point in talking to her. No matter what you said or what evidence you presented her beliefs were unshaken. If you meet a believer don’t waste your time presenting facts and applying logic. They are immune.
