Cass Sunstein had a theory that suggested using conspiracy to move politics. Cant seem to find the original story but it was right around when he released the book Nudge. Q never checked out and has been used as a cudgel against the right. more people on the far left are deeply familiar with q-anon. Q distracted right wingers from effectively using our time and armed our enemies. This is exactly what the CIA uses on other nations. But sure it could just be some putz and the plan failed. Lastly x-22 report is still on YouTube and still states Trump planned everything. 50K plus views and YouTube misses it, I do not believe that.
