The QAnon candidates: How the conspiracy cult got on the ballot

 What's sad is that all this started on 4chan and was thrust into the mainstream media by that fool from North Carolina rushing to Washington D.C. and Comet Ping Pong to free children from sex tracfficing ring in  a nonexistent basement. As its grown on the right Donald Trump supporters started showing up at his campaign Nurenberg rallies displaying signs supporting QAnon. Of course Donald Trump being the insecure narcist that he is couldn't denounce the movement because they "loved" him. Even when the given a chance to pretend to not he didn't embrace conspiracy theories he couldn't. Thus given a g sign to certain politicians  that sought his favour to fully embrace  QAnon and he played right along by endorsing them.

The QAnon delusion has entered the Republican mainstream.

A cult-like movement powered by a sprawling online conspiracy that believes Donald Trump will arrest prominent Democrats and defeat a cabal of satan-worshipping, child-trafficking lawmakers and celebrities has found an audience among dozens of candidates in local and federal elections across the US.

Supporters of the conspiracy – which traffics in antisemitic and racist tropes that have circulated for decades – have joined campaign rallies for the president and appeared on social media feeds from members of his inner circle, including his own Twitter page, which has shared several posts from QAnon-affiliated accounts.
