This is what happens when you make politics into an identity thing (so people can’t admit to being wrong no matter how obvious it is), push deranged crap because you know these people will believe it because it agrees with their existing prejudices, and then introduce people trained in violence and automatic obedience to recognized authority into that mix.
Whoever that fucker on 4chan who started all that Q shit is, they are responsible for this tragedy.
I think the political angle you’re talking about is right on, but this guy also had a collision of mental illness and religious devotion that amplified the entire situation to whatever the hell this was.
