All of DC is now under Marshall law.
Where do they get this stuff??? Do they honestly not think that news media would be reporting on this? That with all of the cell phones in DC that SOMEONE would be taking video.
I realize this is sheer stupidity. But these people are dangerous. They are brainwashed to the point that they cannot understand basic logic. And they vote.

(65,010 posts)These idiots would turn the gain to 10, forget to get master volume off zero, and wonder why they don't hear anything.
I'm still convinced that many of these proclamations are epic trolling to see how many idiots get fished in.

(15,220 posts)I follow her for sheer entertainment as to what QAnon says is happening. Body doubles, aliens, fake head masks, Putin is a savior, etc.
Sometimes its not so funny though when I see how many others reply to her and think the same way. That part scares me.

How cute. The other thought is maybe English isn't their first language.

PatSeg
(47,419 posts)is part of the whole conspiracy!!! It would be hilarious if it wasn't so dangerous and disturbing.
hamsterjill
(15,220 posts)Because of the sheer number of people who actually believe this stuff. The one who posted this is an educated woman and runs a successful business. But yet she believes all of this? How does that ever get started? Is it just a need to hate the other side so badly that they concoct stories and they get more outrageous over time? But MTG is in Congress. That makes me worry.
PatSeg
(47,419 posts)This is the other pandemic and it could be even more destructive than the coronavirus and harder to eradicate. How do you effectively deprogram that many people?
I agree, it is really disturbing when we see well educated, seemingly intelligent people buy into this bizarre crap. It is quite unlike anything I've ever seen before. It wouldn't even make for plausible science fiction. It will be interesting to see how history records this chapter in our story.
hamsterjill
(15,220 posts)It is THAT part that I dont think the rest of us take seriously enough. I mean, they created an insurrection! What other crazy stuff do they have in their minds that is not only ludicrous, but something they are willing to act upon. Im not suggesting a panic over them, but to totally dismiss them, is a mistake IMHO. They are not rational yet they are in communication in a wide network and they have guns.
PatSeg
(47,419 posts)We've always had an extreme fringe in this country, but they never amounted to enough people to be a serious threat. This group is far greater in numbers than I could have ever imagined, plus many of them are heavily armed and very angry. We've seen in the past what a handful of dangerous extremists can do. I hate to think of what they could do in large numbers.

(11,736 posts)All of us, every single one of us can fall victim to emotional overactivation. The point at which you are so activated emotionally that the logic centers of your brain are shut down or shut out.
If you think about it, the emotional centers of your brain develop earlier than the areas used for reasoning and logic. Small children, while they develop some sort of problem solving early on, are typically reacting emotionally until they are older. So you have these very powerful chemically induced states of mind versus the calm, logical, and dispassionate state you should be in when making a choice, especially one of significance.
You become emotionally invested in the process, kind of like a person in an abusive relationship that refuses to leave because they "love" the abuser. There is some understanding that the situation is not tenable, but the emotional involvement overwhelms the part of the brain that would make the rational decision to terminate the relationship.
This is why when you have abusers, grifters, and con artists, you see the same pattern and approach. They challenge your sense of power, they tell you how special you are, and how the other "sheep" are blah blah blah. It is a script meant to arouse the person's emotions.

(15,220 posts)Ron Watkins. He is the one that this person typically regurgitates. And hes pretty much been outed as a crazy nutcase yet the other nuts dont care.
Woodwizard
(842 posts)I used to go on and troll them but it goes right over their heads. After Trump said get the vaccine I said I got it because trump told me.
I was banned in less than 15 minutes.
Now with the war and the pro Russian crazy posts how Putin and Trump saving children and going after bio labs in Ukraine. There is a segment of this countries population that is divorced from reality and not coming back.
There have been several good podcasts about Ron Watkins, reply all had one and I think there is a follow up I lose track of all the different ones https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/llhe5nm
hamsterjill
(15,220 posts)Is that a roughly 35-year old, uneducated idiot has managed to create all of this. And yes, I realize he had help at the beginning. But that it continues in this absurdity mass is just bewildering!
Woodwizard
(842 posts)Someone will post an absurdity and more will pile on. "My cousin got the vaccine and glows walking by the microwave" and 20 other yahoos will start posting their made up situations to out stupid each other. I am guessing there are 20 percent or so trolls just feeding these idiots to see how far they run with it.
Nothing is off the table besides criticizing Trump or questioning the "plan"

LuckyCharms
(17,425 posts)The gentleman who played "Festus" in Gunsmoke.
Mr. Curtis auditioned for the role of "Matt Dillon", but he was just barely beat out by James Arness for the part.
The character played by Mr. Arness was originally to be named "Bob Dylan" instead of Matt Dillon, but they thought that "Bob Dylan" sounded too musical for the role of a Marshall.
Coincidently, during the filming of Gunsmoke, Bob Dylan the musician was photographed in the a room on the second floor of the saloon on the Gunsmoke set, while giving Miss Kitty a right proper screwin'.
Dylan pain the photographer $300,000 to have the photo and negative destroyed.
I learned all of this from QAnon.
hamsterjill
(15,220 posts)There are secret tunnels underneath Miss Kitty's saloon where children are trafficked, right? QAnon is actively working via Michael Flynn, of course, to get them all to safety.
LuckyCharms
(17,425 posts)I lurk on this guy's FB page who is a Q guy. I don't have a FB account...someone else lets me use their account for various reasons (mainly so I can read a furniture refinishing group).
The latest thing these Q people are saying is that Ukraine is the "child trafficking hub" of the world, and that is why Putin is waging war on Ukraine.
These lost souls cannot be saved, they are too far gone.
hamsterjill
(15,220 posts)I have a Facebook account because I am in animal rescue and that is the main path for communication via rescue groups. I lurk on the page of this former high school classmate (see upthread). The extremes that they go to are just amazing.
What I cant figure out is - if the cabal does all of this terrible stuff because the motivator is money and power, how do they rationalize that no one else (like a journalist) would want money and power by exposing the cabal? Their logic is flawed, obviously, yet they certainly dont see that.
I marvel at the stories. They make up shit and then it gets passed around so many times that they start to believe it. It is believed that CodeMonkeyZ (Ron Watkins) is the instigator.

But just click on those three little dots in the upper right corner of any post and you can alert on it.
Don't know how much good it does, but at least some human at FB may eventually look at it.
I never hesitate to alert on that kind of bs post.

As do several others. She gets put in Facebook jail for a few days and then is right back at it. Tells you a lot about Facebook really trying to keep misinformation from spreading.
