More or less what you'd expect from that guy.

      I'm unfortunate enough to have a ton of relatives who are armpit deep in qanon lore. Reading the stuff online or hearing stuff in podcasts is just funny. It's such a hilariously inept and obviously bogus conspiracy theory I can't help but laugh.

      In real life? When you can look into a person's eyes and hear their tone of voice, it does get uncomfortable. Because when these people have to put it into their own words it comes out as just blatant fascism and antisemitism. It ends up being horrifyingly racist panic over bloodlines and fate of the west and hidden elites doing cultural Marxism.

      And I hate it. Flesh and blood human beings right in front of me going glass eyed and spouting off Nazi propaganda because they spent a few hours watching Facebook videos of dudes in their trucks. It's like they have some kind of internal inclination inside themselves already to be fascists and the tiniest push from the internet sends them into full bore Nazi, except with plausible deniability because they obfuscate everything with batshit conspiracies and supernatural claims.

        That's why forced re-education and gulags are good (and wildly misrepresented)
