That's why all those Q-sporting dimbulbs and their "Where we go 1" bullshit were at all the Trump rallies.

Trump says he appreciates QAnon support - CNBC
Aug 19, 2020 — "I don't know much about the movement, other than I understand they like me very much, which I appreciate," Trump said at a White House press ...

he’s also placing a disparaging POV toward Q/right wing people. He knows that they hate libs, and yet he’s associating them with libs. So if you want to stick with QAnon beliefs, you must be a lib. Tucker’s quite the boy. Big media star. Tells his fans what to think.

. . . but this could be Step 1 to deprogramming the Q-cultists. "You've been used by the liberals." Hearing it from a conservative may create some cognitive dissonance.

Fox doesn't love Trump, and it doesn't love Q.

"Nobody has ever explained them to me!"

"They are apparently an invention of the left, given how so-called fact-checkers are always attacking me and FOX News!"

A few weeks ago I wrote that the hagtag blueanon was trending on Twitter. I went on to say that it seemed like blueanon was an attempt to rewrite history. I actually titled that post something like Get Ready for the Biggest Gaslighting Campaign in American History. It seems like I am on the verge of being proven right. I assume multiple Fox New hosts and Republicans will begin to claim Qanon was nothing more than a liberal left wing conspiracy theory.

involving an action that they themselves do or have done. You get them to start repeating it so much that they not only believe it, but are even more receptive for the next big lie.

Eventually you can have a RWer walk up and execute a person with a shot to the face at point blank range (say a US politician) in the middle of the street, with it soon on global telly and social media, and within weeks or a month or two max, you can have them convinced that it was the left all along.

The most dangerous part is that the brainwashed legions are not only becoming completely detached from reality, but they are also becoming deeper and deeper embedded within the their leaders' (the big lie tellers) control mechanisms. They will eventually (a large chunk of them) kill on command en masse.
