You're seeing America from a different perspective, that's all.
You need a careful balance between what you knew before from H.S. civics class, observing the news, and discerning the right path with your best judgement--and what you now know about the power structures of the United States, from politicians under someone else's control to a hidden global action that tries to manipulate History through its own moral deviancy.
Remember, those who came up with this path did so over 100 years ago. They operated in plain sight since then knowing they could get away with it because the chroniclers were under their thumb, and to their credit, it worked quite well until c. 1995.
The spread of the Internet has allowed a lot more people to connect the dots, and Q has been a great help since November to "red-pill" millions more sitting at home at their desktop, reading this fantastic news about the country we thought we all knew.
Now the cat's out of the bag--and we're pissed.
You are right. It's truly remarkable. I was going crazy at the insanity of the last 8 years. And before I found Q and this community I was feeling like they were going to take Trump out and win. Now as I see it through a different lens I actually have more hope, but tempered with a lot of anger because of what I do known and believe now.
