"All for a larp"
Well, not really, if you consider that Congress could designate us as terrorists, segue that into white nationalism (they always do), designate white nationalists as terrorists, then segue that into gun control.
It's not all for a larp.
It's tactile.
They knew from the get go we were going to be up their asses 24/7.
They knew we'd be out there reminding everyone about their crimes/malfeasance.
They know we're not going away voluntarily.
It's about stamping down their agenda.
They chose us over any other entity because it's hard to fight back.
They control the channels.
"muh conspiracy theorist QAnons" has definite purpose.
We are, afterall, a piece on the chessboard.
