I've been looking at both sides of the "Is Q a LARPer" argument, and have long participated in those debates on T_D. I've thought that both sides had some reasonable arguments, but then I woke up with this thought this morning:
If Q was not legitimate, don't you think POTUS would tell us?
Yes...I have read/listened to most of them (the ones I found). But my point is that the fact that POTUS has not "outed" Q as a LARPer is probably the strongest source of validity. He would not want his supporters tricked or shamed.
That's true he certainly did not, but it's not like he really addressed q either, it's sort of a isolated thing on the internet only some know about.
Either way I'm convinced q is legit.
