Why is QAnon getting mindshare?

Lyndon Johnson once spread the rumor that his opponent was a pig fucker. When confronted with the fact that it was false.. LBJ responded that he knew it was a lie- but he just wanted to hear his opponent deny it publicly.


It is this guilt through insinuation.. that makes suspicious people think that there might be something more to a ridiculous proposition.

QAnon is our pig fucker moment and it is a thousand times worse as scores of dummies believe that shite due to the power of the internet. They become unwitting agents for the propagation of obvious lies. Yet others like Trump are too happy to help keep it going and reap the benefits..

This is a serious problem that is going to be a problem well beyond this election cycle.


What can be done legislatively about this?
