While many conspiracy theorists are still holding strong despite the overwhelming evidence that their fantasy world isn’t real, one of them is beginning to crack.
Conservative activist and former ringleader for the QAnon movement DeAnna Lorraine, who recently said she wouldn’t get a COVID-19 vaccine even if Jesus were to take it, is finally starting to doubt the “trust the plan” mantra:
“I, for one, I’m sick of just looking at clues and taking guesses and kind of following down a rabbit hole where it leads to nothing, and there’s just a lot of broken promises that are not delivered,” Lorraine said. “A patriot doesn’t blindly follow a plan. … We shouldn’t be blindly following anything or anyone, especially when there’s no evidence for that plan ever materializing. Every time that this plan was supposed to happen, or Trump was supposedly playing 5-D chess and supposedly setting traps or about to do this, at no point in the last four years has that trap ever been closed, has the chess move ever been checkmated by Trump. None of these hopes and ideas have ever been fulfilled. Not one. So, a smart person looks at the evidence, looks at historical evidence, looks at a track record, and doesn’t keep doing or wishing [for] something that has no evidence for it being able to materialize.”
Q-Anon believers promote their cult because they don't have the cognitive capacity to think critically AND they are desperately lonely and insecure. Having an outrageous tag line that is provocative gets them the attention they crave, but the content is wholly meaningless. And they pay a price, that being that most of the time they are reviled and mocked for their beliefs. It's not that they're low-lifes, exactly, but they certainly can't compete against normals in the marketplace. Hence their frustration.
She just wants to be a lone Wolf conspiracy nut and maybe blow herself and a bunch of innocent people up to show her “patriotism.”
