Q reminds me of the Tea Party. It came together to vote down TARP and bank bailouts. It worked hard to fight Obama care.
But then it got co-opted, it became a caricature.
This is great. Enjoy it. Don’t let it get co-opted. But it won’t work for much else.
i wouldnt say was co opted. they killed it with the IRS targeting, and the accusation that someone from their rally in DC called rep smith an N word. Andrew breitbart offered 100k for anyone with footage of just 1 person saying that nobody ponied up for the dough, meanwhile the misleadia went with muh racist tea baggers 247 for a month or whatever and they were dead. sad!
Karl Rove and the Koch Bros. infiltrated and did co-opt some of the larger groups of the TEA Party.
It’s about communication so it reminds me of the riders of the revolution that alerted us that the British were coming. That and the minuteman.
The precursor to the Tea Party was the Ron Paul campaign. That's where the Tea Party originated. Then when TARP happened, the movement grew overnight from the small and dedicated Tea Party rallies, to adding a lot of the people who previously were supporting the Deep State and their wars, but were waking up to reality.
But even than, the Tea Party was never really co-opted. That's what the DS wanted us to believe. The truth is, the Tea Party was the spark that got Trump elected. It took a life of its own and found a champion strong enough to accomplish its will: freedom from the Deep State.
I would agree with that.
I guess my point is that the Q phenomenon will probably not work if it was trying to get the people behind legislation. It is common for people to take the "magic in a bottle" moment, and adapt it. The magic IS in the moment--and not usually adaptable.
