QAnon is a far right wing conspiracy theory. The supporters of this conspiracy truly believe that satan worshiping democrats are running a child sex ring, and Donald trump is the hero who is silently working to stop them, which I think is ironic considering that 26 women have accused him of sexual misconduct. He has also said some pretty gross things about his daughter, Ivanka, including, “If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her,” “She’s got a really nice body,” and the time when Howie Mendel called Ivanka a “Piece of a**,” and Trump quickly agreed. He has also referred to his own daughter as “Hot.” There are also allegations that Trump walked into a Miss Teen USA pageant dressing room where girls were as young as 15. QAnon has alleged that there is going to be a day called “The Storm,” where thousands of democrats are going to be arrested by Donald Trump. They believe that this is not theory, but fact. No, I am not joking. You can’t not make this stuff up.
Well known left wing politicians that QAnon alledges are involved in this sex trafficing ring include Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and invester George Soros. There are even QAnon supporters that are running to be representatives, like Majorie Taylor Greene. A lot of politicians have also shared baseless QAnon conspiracies on social media, where thousands of their supporters are exposed to this crazy conspiracy theory. Social media is also a big reason why this conspiracy has gotten so much attention. QAnon has been around for a while, but during this lockdown, many people discovered it on social media, specifically facebook. Many older people spend much of their time on this app; incidentally, they are the main supporters of this conspiracy. QAnon targets older people and mothers. These people share these crazy conspiracies with their friends on facebook, who then do the same. QAnon uses pedophilia to push their political agenda on vulnerable people, which I beleive is sad and pathetic. I find it disgusting how QAnon uses pedophilia and sex trafficing, which are both horrible and very serious, to boost their radical views. It confuses me how these insane accusations have spread so far and how many people genuinely believe them. It seems unreal, but what I do know for sure is that you can not just accuse your political opponents of pedophilia without ANY form of concrete proof.
What do you think about QAnon?
Why do you think so many people believe this?

Great story choice and well done Theresa!
I think QAnon is a completely radical theory. I beleive that there is a lot of sex-trafficing and pedophilia in our nation in this day and age, but you can't blame the Democrats for such a large chunk of it. You can't even blame them for any of it without some sort of reason or proof! However, I have seen some pictures of politictions involved with Jeffery Epstein, Donald Trump included. Although, it has been said that once Trump heard about his horrible schemes that their friendship stopped. I don't know how true that is, but it's what's been said. Even if that was the case, he should've reported it instead of just ending a friendship. I've also seen pictures of Bill Clinton on Jeffery Epstein's island, so I think there could definetly be something going on that the public doesn't know a lot about, but it's not just the Democrats and it's wrong to throw out assumptions like that to make one party look like creeps. It's honestly just making them look irrational and dull.
I have also heard people defending Trump by saying that he ended their friendship. I completely agree that that is not enough, and he should have told the police that underage girls were being sexually abused on a pedophilia island... obviously. I have also heard that Bill Clinton has been to the island and other people like Prince Andrew.
Personally I think that it's a huge joke, there is no way that any of the public would know but there is no doubt that there is sex trafficking in our country. But I would love to know how our presidents statements have anything to do with sex trafficking. And many of the statements are accusations that are not true. Maybe you added them for selfish reasons who knows.
This is about QAnon. Not child sex trafficking as a whole. And since you are wondering, I added Trump's comments because QAnon claims that he is the one working against all of this, which is quite ironic considering the things that I mentiones he said about young girls and even his daughter. I left all of the sources in my post, and these were all things that he publicly said, which can't be brushed off as false accusations becuase the words came out of his own mouth.
I think that there is definitely sex trafficking happening in our country and that some rich politicians are involved. I think it is unfair to only say that ONLY democrats are invovled, but I do believe some are involved, including some of the poeple you've mentioned. There's just too much evidence to completley dismiss this theory. It is unlikely that someone made up and created this whole idea on their own without any evidence. However, some of the things that they allegedly do (like drink kids' blood) are crazy and are completely ridiculous. Allegations like these are more than likely exagerated or completely made up. Along with this, The majority of the population has no idea what the upperclass does, especially since the rich can afford to pay people off. Overall, our politcal system is corrupt and there are definitely participants of these sex rings on both sides.
I agree that some people are definately involved in something like this, but overall this theory is just insane. The theory doesn't mention both sides. It claims that just the democrats are involved which is crazy. There are just so many crazy aspects to this theory that can't be true.

QAnon is a joke some of the things mentioned in the page state that democratic party is kidnapping children to drink their blood, it is crazy to think that people would actually believe this. It is unacceptable that people believe it, yet when you try to tell them actual facts they simply ignore them. This conspiracy theory is getting so much attention because people don't sit there and actually analyze and process what they are reading. It doesn't make any sense that they are accusing the democratic party because the president as of the moment (a republican) has friends that were actually involved in sex rings. People just have to learn how to use their brain.
Yes. Another thing that they claim is that the democratic party takes place in satanic canibalism. They claim that Hillary Clinton drinks the blood of little girls to look young. To me, there is no doubt that this is purely fiction. People have nothing better to do with their lives than devote their time to insane conspiracy theories. I think that this is the craziest one I have heard so far. I agree that people definately need to use their brain, but unfortunately, the people that believe these things are just as unintelligent as the creators of this stuff.
