Redemption For The Followers of Q?

And through that empowerment, it led them further down the rabbit hole to believing the election was stolen and that they were Patriots fighting for America. And in each of these interviews, in each of these pieces, we were supposed to walk away feeling that, well, there were reasons why they did the things they did. But my problem is, I found these people, the ones I know in my personal life to be what I would call belligerently stupid

QAnon

Joe, that is so funny. I got I saw that you posted this just as we were watching an interview with probably you've seen it. A lady from South Carolina. I'd say she's probably like, late 20s, early 30s. Has was a four year old and fell down the Q hole. Her excuse is and I know I feel the same way that you do

They're not changing. You don't change after 50. It doesn't happen. I just keep watching these things. And it's we need to be more understanding. And people were. Now you need to be less understanding. Being understanding is how we got here. That's how it happened. Trying to pretend there was something credible or normal about this kind of conduct. I'm saying start judging people and let's get back to some good old fashioned bullying. Maybe not that part

I have trouble with forgiving QAnon members because some of my friends are still rabid believers in that. And I wonder how they can sit there and believe Sudha lot. I full on in their brains, in their minds. Where is the logic to it? I just don't understand that. And I never believed in QAnon. But my friends, some of my friends have and it's really, really difficult to maintain a friendship when they still believe in stuff like that

Devil's Advocate.

And so I don't think that there is necessarily a blanket age for the entire population, that says, when someone reaches that age or that point in life, that they can no longer learn or change or grow, but that's just my two cent

I just think they're regular people, like all of us choosing to hide behind this narrative in order to justify getting to the end that they want to get to. So it's just a justification. I've always believed that they are as normal as you and I they choose to say all that because they desperately want that result. And this is just justifying buying it

In fact, I would wager in the direction of had Trump not failed, had January 6 not failed, there would be no request for redemption. In fact, this would probably have been elevated to heights that we couldn't even imagine. Right now they would feel victorious. So what we're looking at is a group of people who are beaten and now want to try to return to some semblance of what they used to know
