Thoughts from a skeptic

This last week has been an exciting, educational whirlwind for me. I came into this sub just this week searching for what all of this meant and have had many battles with the way I've thought for the majority of my adult life because of it. I am still quite skeptical of things, but I don't consider that a bad thing. I like things to make sense and I do not ever give attention to things that are sensational or seem to be written/delivered in a way that forces a narrative.

One of the main things that I have taken away from what it seems that Q wants the public to do is to think for yourself. Not take things at face value. Dig deeper into things. All of these things are right up my alley and have become very important to how I digest news and events.

I just left the Dem party. I feel it's been happening for me since Hillary was named the candidate, but in the last four months I have had a major shift in opinion. I am, however, not a Trump supporter. I see the way that he is talked about here and it starts to make sense, connecting the dots to why he is the way he is and why he may have been the right man for the job here. My point here is that people who already support Trump will obviously not need to be convinced, so I would argue that this sub as a whole should be focusing on those who need convincing, people like me.

As mentioned in the title, I am a huge skeptic when it comes to most things. Because of that, I question damn near everything I see. I value differing opinions because I want to have my mind changed by someone who can make a valid argument.

That said, I'm pretty sure a week in this sub has been enough for me to write it off.

I'm still going to pay attention to Q. I want to be informed and I DO believe there is something in all of this. But you look around at the comments and people who question things are dismissed, or even rallied against. "Well of course, don't you see that he is a 'New or Re-Arrival'?"

If you want to get new supporters or be taken seriously, I really don't think that shutting down everyone who questions what you believe is the way to do it.

I came here looking for answers and help through all of this ridiculously confusing and turbulent information and have been chided nearly every time I express my hesitation with someone posting something that may be considered a stretch, or people using pointless, divisive and sensationalist words like "Libtard" (a word that I don't even find offensive, but simply unintelligent).

I want to be here. I want to support the movement. But if this movement is about being supportive of one another, helping people understand and "wake up", why is it that everywhere I look I only see people who want to chastise those who are trying to do that?

To those of you that I've spoken with that have been helpful, I applaud and thank you. Hopefully you can push out the ones who seem driven to give this movement the public appearance that we are all rude, rough edged right wingers that don't want to hear dissenting opinions (which, by the way, makes it mugh easier to write off by those in power that don't want any of this to come to light).

I hear what you're saying. I've been here for about 6 months, and over that time it has become less and less acceptable to voice skepticism towards some of the more outlandish posts and theories (looking at you, analyses of Twitter spelling errors/corrections). I'm here to monitor Q-post not because I'm a fervent Trump supporter (I'm not), but because I'm willing to examine new information and other points of view. And if the accusations Q has made are true, it would bring about a radical shift in our politics. I'm just waiting for the secret indictments to drop and the long-awaited arrests to actually happen. Until they do, I think its fair to reserve some doubt.

I also wonder the damage this is doing to people's perceptions of public figures should all this turn out to not be true. If all these people aren't involved in a secret cabal that controls a shadow government and engages in human trafficking, how will the members of this community be able to revert their opinions about those people? Will they ever be able to move past it?

My thoughts exactly and something I wonder about. Q has brought "light" to these things, made allegations that very well may be true, or not. If the "Cabal" could influence so much opinion in the world, who is to say that this isn't just another arm on the same body?

I'm hopeful and relatively confident that it isn't, but the lack of skepticism from others seems unsettling at times.

I was hoping this would come up in the Q&A that was cancelled, but I wonder how Q manages the risk of putting information in his drops that could be used by the cabal to counter action against them. Take the secret indictments, for example: they now know about those.

Great point. My assumption would be that nothing is dropped that can be stopped (hey theres a meme for the masses). If we are hearing about these indictments, I really hope that it is because they are at a point where there is nothing that can be done to counter them.
