The Qanon cult believed political and financial elites were conspiring in a global sex-trafficking network that preyed on children, and that this conspiracy included billionaires, the Royal Family, Hollywood elites and even one of the two major-party candidates for US Presidency in 2016.
Reasonable people — including me! — found this cult to be both ridiculous and scary. Oh, come on. Those kinds of conspiracies don’t exist except for paranoid entertainment.
Plot twist! Turns out that was happening but — further plot twist! – the guy Qanon thought was the hero (Trump) turned out to be in cahoots with the chief villain (Epstein), and maybe was himself one of the top pedos.
