Far-right QAnon nutcases see Tom Hanks' coronavirus diagnosis as sure sign of looming mass arrests

[LiberalArkie]

Bet you didn’t know that Tom Hanks’ announced coronavirus diagnosis was a secret sign that he’s been arrested as part of a global pedophilia ring. And that NBA owners closed up shop for the same reason. Don’t believe me? Just ask a “Q person.”

The circumstances around the global spread of the coronavirus are practically scripted for generating conspiracy theories: a mysterious illness, sudden waves of deaths, government suppression of information and claims of a politically fueled hoax, and gradually intensifying panic. So naturally, the nutcases of the far right have concocted several different cauldrons of toxic conspiracy stew around the growing health crisis—and nowhere is this more acutely the case than in the bizarre Trump-loving world of “QAnon” conspiracy theorists.

While Trump himself for awhile pitched the increasingly risible claim that the looming pandemic was actually a “hoax” promulgated by Democrats, he has dropped such rhetoric as the response to the pandemic has mounted in intensity, along with its death toll. However, the fanatical Trump fans who comprise the alternative universe of the QAnon faction actually believe the whole scenario is part of Trump’s well-laid plan to arrest a broad slate of Democrats for pedophilia.

They call it “The Storm,” which is their semi-apocalyptic term for what they believe has secretly been Trump’s endgame: The eventual roundup and arrest of a broad array of Democratic and media figures for their secret involvement in a global pedophilia ring that trades in sexually abused children and their murders, of which the “Pizzagate” scandal was just the tip of the iceberg.

9. Seriously, someone needs to check their hard drives

[blueinredohio]

12. That's exactly what I was going to post.

[Frustratedlady]

2. What sick minds these people have.

They have a "novel virus" all of their own. Hopefully, it doesn't spread.

3. It's like they're from the 12th century, and were teleported here

...lost in a world they don't understand. Demons and sorcerers everywhere. Now plague.

But of course, the King has a plan, he must...

[FiveGoodMen]

5. We let them teach their children this nonsense for years and ...

(SURPRISE) their children turn out nuts.

This is the dark side of freedom of speech/religion.

4. The christofascists love this crap...

If a Democrat holds the WH, the conspiracy is the deep state is going to set up "FEMA" camps and round up all real Muricans for socialist re-education.

During Obama's admin, there was also the bee ess about how he was the head of the Black Panthers and the mob in Chicago.

How he had amassed a secret army of "medical volunteers". This why there was a shortage of pecker pills for their guns, Obama had bought it all up for his private army.

And let's not forget the alien lizardmen....and Obama is one of them of course.

Alien Lizardmen, Pedophiles and the Deep State Oh My!

Grade A, Prime nutballs the lot of them.

6. What is their weird obsession with Tom Hanks?

Seriously what did he do to them?

[Coventina]

10. My guess: The DaVinci Code

7. I can't wait for all these dipshits to take the spiked Kool-aid at the same time. nt

8. I feel like 4chan is the sewer system from Futurama.

It's dirty, full of monsters and mutants, and nobody wants to go there.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

11. Holy shit! I remember 'discovering' that puss infested cesspool a few

years back. I didn't know who they were. But it took me reading about 3 posts to realize that place was about who could say "ni*****" the most. Because they're "soooo edgy".

[Initech]

15. That's where a good majority of this crap is coming from.

They did at least shut down 8chan after the Parkland shooting but even 4chan's founder says that the site should be shut down. And nothing of value would be lost if it did.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

16. I saw that. The whole "for the LULZ" bullshit became an excuse to

be a piece of shit. And the white supremacists swooped in. They're Il Douche's "non-senior citizen" base.

[Initech]

18. That's what happens when you vote with your asshole.

Nothing good can come of it.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

19. .

And you end up with is shit....

[Initech]

20. Some people vote with their wallets.

And the wallet sits right next to the asshole. So it just goes with the territory!

[durablend]

13. No problem with me

Ship them all off to a deserted island where they can happily infect each other and enjoy their last days in paradise (or something...)

[Piratedog]

14. You can't fuckin' fix stupid!!!

[Midnight Writer]

17. What's weird is these people research this stuff fanatically, yet never stumble over the truth.

How deep into the bowels of the internet do you have to dig to come up with "Tom Hanks is secretly arrested for pedophilia"?

And how demented do you have to be to believe it.

These folks can latch onto one source for a crazy story, and ignore hundreds of sources telling them the opposite.
