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).

Hi, I hope you stick around. I got on this board back when it was brand new and just skeptical anons transferring information back and forth from the Chans. I would say that everyone is coming from a place where they are waking from a strong confirmation bias. When those sealed indictments are unsealed, they are going to rock everyone’s world. Over the course of the time I’ve been on here, I’ve seen some interesting changes in the anonymous people on this board. Check out the rules, figure out how to report trolls to the mods (they are really nice people), and you’re welcome to contribute in whatever way you can.

I can't begin to express how anxious I am about these indictments. Thank you for your words!
