Of course in hindsight I can think of a few things I’d really like to have asked him. I started off asking him if he really believed that stuff about the pedophile and cannibal rings in the government.

He said definitely pedophiles and started on that. I asked him if he accepts science proving climate change? No. I asked him what he thought the most important problem to solve was the country and he said immigration - mind you he is brown. I said immigration, look at you, look at me! we don’t have enough workers in this country. He said we don’t have enough money to take care of our own people never mind immigrants. I explained to him that they don’t get the benefits that we get in there actually many of them pay into Social Security . He was a senior should be grateful to them.

At that point I told him I’m sorry but I think it’s hopeless with you. I’ve never said this in my life but I really hope you don’t vote. Good luck brother .

I wish I had asked him if he thought the Sandyhook massacre was real if you thought white nationalism was dangerous if he thought the Donald Trump was the solution to all the problems if you considered the possibility that he may be receiving this disinformation intending to distract him from reality.

The question is do any of you have friends or family or neighbors who believe this Q stuff?

Who do you think is behind it? Who benefits?

this whole Qanon shit is one massive long troll on the knuckledraggers. The point being exactly how much ridiculous unbelievable shit they can get them to believe. It's an experiment on how stupid a segment of our country is.

who think of themselves as the 'good PoC', and that Trump is really just about illegal immigrants.

Their mentality is similar to the female Trumpers, who see themselves as better than other women who want real rights.

If someone came to the house Negro and said, "Let's go, let's separate," naturally that Uncle Tom would say, "Go where? What could I do without boss? Where would I live? How would I dress? Who would look out for me?" That's the house Negro. But if you went to the field Negro and said, "Let's go, let's separate," he wouldn't even ask you where or how. He'd say, "Yes, let's go." And that one ended right there. - Malcolm X
