    You have been spending pages, defending something you admit to not understand, by trying to divert attention somewhere else. You seem to know just as much about protests as you do about QAnon. Just seem to be following orders...

    Yes a voice decrying you must be part of some shadowy cabel.

    It's more a case of the boy who cried wolf. I've been promised that nazis have been coming for a decade. At this point I assume people shouting it out are simply hungry for attention.

    I mean... this thread is about having people officially condemn a conspiracy theory.

    Participating in the vote would be legitimizing it.

    Having looked into it briefly, just now:

    It's interesting that congress cares, at all. If there were no truth to the idea of politicians being pedophiles and having sex with girls that have been human traficked, Epstein's lolita express (wasn't Trump also on that one?), they could just ignore it. Instead they vote to condemn those who are working to try to expose child sex traficking.

    Methinks they doth protest too much. It seems to have a lot of representatives worried. On both sides.

    No, your news sources. We can have nazis marching down the street, screaming ‘blood for soil’ then killing someone, while you wait for nazis for a decade.

    No, it’s to condemn people planning to attack America, because they believe a conspiracy theory. Something that you admittedly are even informed about...

    Legitimizing what? Time? Conspiracy theorist planning an attack on the country?

    Uhm... the people who took over a fundraiser for “save the children” to push conspiracy theory and an attack on US? Literally costing money that we’re intended to go to children? Like the guy who shot up a pizza place to save children? We have cages full of children on the border, why don’t they care?

    Methinks they doth protest too much. It seems to have a lot of representatives worried. On both sides.
    Me thinks you are speaking from ignorance and defending a group, lead by a guy that moved from US to Philippines and is an actual pedo. So... yah... Q might be protesting too much... out of the Philippines... with his underage ‘friends’... never stop defending shit you know nothing about. Great look...

    Yeah, Democrats would never stoop as low as to compare Trump to Hitler. Or Bush. Or... oh wait

    I know... I’m supposed to be scared of protestors. You made that very clear, in a thread that has nothing to do with it.

    Well, he did say he has been waiting for nazis for 10 years... he didn’t say 15...

    Also, see anything about Obama that makes said obsession strange, yet related to QAnon?

    I haven't defended Qanon. I pointed out that the ratio of fear to realistic level of threat seems to be wildly out of proportion. But it begins to make sense when a lot of central and major figures on both sides of the isle are implicated.

    Yeah, you did... you literally posted their pedo excuse, because you can only spend 2 min googling to find a defense. Add no self awareness to the list of things you lack...

    You’re welcome to point out what about my ideology is genocidal before you make this false fuckin’ equivalence, lol.

    I'm not surprised at the dishonesty here, but they were already being discussed considering one of them is running unopposed for election in her district.

    More "trying to address problem will make it worse, so we shouldn't do anything which is super convenient for me since I happen to benefit from the system". /yawn

    There's nuance and context, but if you're gonna stomp around here gleefully ignoring it then that's on you.

    Where are they celebrating this, by the way?

    Curious how one group being bad means another related group cannot also be bad.

    Also y'all have really never heard of a fifth column huh. Lol - guess they really did scrub history from Russian textbooks.

    Oh they most certainly still think right wingers are the baddies, as soon as QAnon is no longer a "threat" to them, they'll go right back to claim everyone to the right of them is racist, white supremacist, nazi, uncle tom, race or sex traitor. The authoritarian left doesn't give a damn about anyone who isn't part of their hate filled ideology, outside of how they can use them.

    It's almost as if fear mongering politics isn't a tool of both sides of the aisle.

    NEITHER side give a shit about you unless you are, at the very least, donor class. And as we see repeatedly, especially over the last 4 years, the perception of competency required to be the leader of a branch of govt is hilariously overblown.

    Vote accordingly, if you think that makes a difference.
