Q anon was a psyop.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
Ron Watkins. He slipped up and outed himself in a documentary: https://www.vice.com/en/article/q-accidentally-outed-himself-but-qanon-followers-dont-care/
I highly recommend the documentary: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14215442/
It wasn't started by him though, he just took over the account and exploited it for his personal benefit. The person behind the original account is far more interesting.
The documentary suggests it may have been Mike Flynn, which of course would support the direct connection between Trump/Russia and qanon.
You’re totally right I forgot about that part. That’s absolutely covered in the doc.
