@Ryderbike I don't know when that photograph was take, but are those Qanon clowns still about?
Due to it having been turned from a wild but obscure conspiracy-fantasy into something highly party-political, Quanon is largely confined to the fringes of the USA's otherwise deeply thoughtful, inciteful and civil internal political discourse; but some of its own and similar wilder ideas outside of US party-politics have attracted the gullible in other countries.
I thought it had died out, but it would be interesting to know who started it, and why he, she or they did? We know which fringe web-site nurtured it, and we know the party activist who found it there and turned it via the big-name "social-media" into a presidential-election campaign-tool; but has anyone been identified as or admitted being, its originator?
I wonder if one day someone will have the courage to spill the Beans and admit, "It was I, because ....". Yes, that capital 'B' is deliberate.
