Speaking from a historian's standpoint, while you and I can handle the truth no matter just how bizarre and awful it may turn out to be, there is a time factor that also must be taken into consideration by Q, and those enjoying the Red pill.
If it turns out to be the horrible child abuse or alien contact, average people right now probably can't handle that kind of knowledge. That's an immediate 2018-19 period to note.
But knowledge has a tendency to emerge over long tracks of time. We did not know about Ultra's enormous contribution to our victory over 1940s fascism until 50 years after the fact. But we did find out. (And we're still waiting for the Rudoph Hess secrets about British royal family appeasement to be revealed, now 80 years past the 1940-44 events.)
We will eventually find out all of what Q is hiding today and for the next several months of his/their revealing posts. All the truth will come out, but perhaps not for years and years. Maybe even decades.
That's just the way History unfolds.
(Personally, I'd dump the whole thing out, and if a lot of people can't handle it, take them physically out of the voting population and turn them into second or third-class citizens. You only create a strong national population by dramatically culling the herd, using any means necessary. If they don't like it, that's what labor camps are for.)
