It seems like the good guys should have taken some initiative by now, to set the bad guys back a few steps, but here we are, and the board is going to get much worse because the bad guys know they can ransack the place with impunity.
Q team is still giving the bad guys unlimited room to plan, execute, reasses, plan, execute etc etc etc
It is hard to believe this makes any sense unless Q is nothing more than a plugged-in shitposter, in which case it all makes perfect sense.
