I'm in the process of compiling all the msm articles I can find on Q. There's over 150 now.
Yes, they want to make us look like crazies, nazis, and dumb-asses. But for the most part they don't even use evidence to do it–they just use our anti-Satanic narrative plus "muh joos" memes.
The anti-Satanic stuff freaks out normies but potentially redpills them–maybe in a big way in the future.
The muh joos memes are from shills. The MSM may know this but don't care. It's a good weapon for them to use, as you say.
But they don't even bother looking much at what we say here, although they could. They play so fast and loose with the truth that they are always associating Q movement with stuff that happened before Q (like pizzagate) or lizard people from Icke–I kid you not.
