Media outlets like The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal have recently been publishing a barrage of articles on QAnon, the “pro-Trump, internet-based conspiracy theory” as it is often called. Many headlines warn that the group is gaining traction and infiltrating the mainstream, which is ironic considering these mainstream outlets are giving the movement a massive helping hand whether they realize it or not. Especially since the average American is starting to see through media spin in general, and it’s not just the Trump supporters.
According to data gathered by The New York Times, social media activity relating to Q “has grown 200 to 300 percent in the last six months.” Facebook announced last week that they had taken down nearly 800 QAnon accounts, restricting up to 2,000 more related groups and hundreds of related pages, not to mention more than 10,000 Instagram accounts in an attempt to slow the spread of this movement, which is growing like a California wildfire.
President Trump Acknowledges QAnon
The latest wave of Q media comes after President Trump finally acknowledged the community. “I’ve heard these are people that love our country,” Trump responded during a White House news conference, “So I don’t know really anything about it other than they do supposedly like me.” When a reporter brought up how the Q followers believe that he is trying to stop a satanic cult of pedophiles, Trump replied: “Is that supposed to be a bad thing?”
The Washington Post ran the headline, “Trump’s QAnon dodge is a sickening reminder of the man he is” and went on to say that “his refusal to repudiate the repugnant conspiracy theory is just one way Trump proves he should not lead the United States.” Although many Q followers do seem to get a bit carried away with social media attacks on others, this seems to be a bit dramatic since the main goal of Q, from what we are told, is to expose corruption and end criminal activity like child trafficking.
