3 readings on 'force the Q':

1) The phrase "'force' the Q" occurs in Q 2347, and is most obviously interpreted in light of Q 1643. It seems to refer to a reporter being "forced" to ask POTUS whether Q is real. However, Q immediately undermines this idea in the following post, pointing out that THEY KNOW Q is real (at least the higherups) and that asking about Q yields self-destruction. But perhaps some friendly reporter can "ask the Q"? But this won't work. Q 2347 makes clear that VIPAnon ASKED THE Q and GOT the answer, not overtly, but in a way that made it obvious. What has that achieved? Actually a lot, since it helps in the reasoning here, but it achieves NOTHING when it comes to the mainstream. Would it be different if Tucker Carlson "asked the Q" on live TV? What if POTUS said YES, I use Q as a back channel to evade the FNM, etc. What would happen? Precisely the SAME thing that already happens: the answer would be ignored or attacked. Opponents would start using it as solid grounds for impeachment.

2) The second answer hinges on reading "Q" as "cue" (= meme), and Q 2347 is then saying that a certain picture gets "forced" into a particular meme. The background to all that doesn't matter at the moment, so much as how this will work. What matters is that the meme then functions as a pre-arranged signal. This signal has no meaning apart from the Qniverse, and so if POTUS posts it, this serves as a signal to Anons, even if it makes little sense at first to others. And what the signal will mean is that it is time for Anons themselves to "answer the Q". Everyone can "answer" in their own way, focusing on whatever aspects make sense to them, and using whatever means they prefer, and saying as much or as little as they wish at first. This provides "cover" to all, and no one is left standing alone as a seeming lunatic. And it provides cover to POTUS too.

3) I think that is all basically right, but now I also think "We may need to 'force' this one" in Q 1643 applies to us. Notice how Q 1644 doesn't say what it seems to say at first. Where you expect "can't" in the original post, there is "can". I think Q is talking about the situation where Anons ARE "forcing the Q" to such an extent that the FNM is taking notice and nervously mocking it. And then when this is happening, POTUS will reply with the go-ahead to Anons to "answer the Q" themselves.

Now I actually think POTUS said as much in a coded way on Hannity last night, and I'll write that up, but as so often happens, when I go and look at the Q posts I find that there are already pre-existing clues. In any case, part of the reason why I think this all makes sense is that I have already seen Anons here pushing for a mass effort to "ask the Q".
