QANON = is a media/DS/IC misnomer construct used as a lightening rod to follow Alinsky principle of demonizing, isolating and marginalizing 'the enemy'.
Reality: Q + ANONS
Q = a team not an individual which provided information which galvanized a mindset (not necessarily a following) to seek and dig for the truth.
Q team is gone though the ANON mindset lives on. We are confident and know we are right/light/good.
ANONS = people who see thru the BS, who dig and research topics and people to get to the truth.
Similar to religion - we wage an eternal battle against evil and most of the time the scoreboard shows evil winning - yet we fight and fight and fight for what is right/good/ fair and just.
DS/IC/Uniparty/Globalists/MSM are scared to death of individuals and their 'collective bloc' who will not readily accept their propaganda and lawless methods.
Their fear drives their hit pieces and as each day passes more people doubt their word and messages. They are not 'ANONS' as much as they are people who have seen some of the light and are becoming awakened.
My take anyway.
