QAnon WTF?!

WATCH A QAnon Cultist Try To Explain Her Bizarre Conspiracy Theories

The QAnon crowd exists on what can most charitably be called a different plane of reality than the rest of the world, and yet when asked to explain their bizarre beliefs, it quickly becomes obvious that while they seem to genuinely believe their view of the world, logic doesn’t enter into their thinking.

The comedy duo “The Good Liars” found that out by interviewing supporters of failed, one-term former president Donald Trump who are also adherents to the QAnon worldview, and they shared some of their encounters with MSNBC on Sunday.

One woman told Jason Selvig of The Good Liars that it was actually Antifa who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

That led Selvig to ask:

“Wouldn’t we find out that all the people who were there were Antifa? They’ve all said they were Trump supporters, the people who were arrested.”

The woman told Selvig:

“No, I think the ones that were arrested were because they were there — are the ones that need to be released and the Antifa guys need to be in there.”

Selvig:

“How come though we haven’t found out that the people who identify as Antifa aren’t in jail? They all seem to be Trump supporters.”

Undaunted, the woman went on to explain:

“It’s all cover-up. It’s all a cover-up. I’m sorry, I just — I can’t say for sure who’s who, Okay? And who’s — what side they were on, but I’m telling you it was all set up.”

Speaking with MSNBC host Yasmin Vossoughian, Selvig noted that many QAnon members proudly say they “do their own research,” adding:

“And it always goes like that to your own research crowd at least informed. Some of the people I talked to, I asked when they said they did their own research if that meant they were looking up newspaper articles or academic reports or something like that. The answer is no. It’s mostly Instagram, Truth Social, where I guess you go to find the truth. But you get these head spin and conspiracy theories that, if you think about it for a couple minutes, they don’t make sense. How come, if Antifa were the ones storming the Capitol, how come none of them are in jail right now? How come there hasn’t been any report of these Antifa members as the ones that cause this whole thing? Basically, they are saying that things go so deep that you couldn’t possibly imagine.”
