This is what Qanon can do and does..... They met and verified 'Bill' is legitimate. How QAnon convinced a Parkland shooting survivor's dad that the tragedy was a hoax Nicole Karlis, Salon August 07, 2021 Last month, an anonymous Reddit user with a throwaway account posted in r/QAnonCasualties, a Reddit group for people whose spouses, family members and loved ones have been consumed by the baseless conspiracy theory known as QAnon. QAnon, for the uninitiated, posits that American politics are dictated by an elite, Satan-worshipping pedophile cabal which Donald Trump and his inner circle opposed. This article first appeared in Salon. Most QAnonCasualties posts take on a tone of desperation — heartfelt sagas of loved ones who have become unmoored from reality, and for whom the outlandish conspiracy theory is the ultimate truth. This post in particular hit on those tropes, but with an added twist: "I survived the Stoneman Douglas school shooting and my dad is suddenly convinced I'm a liar and part of a false-flag operation," the pseudonymous poster wrote. "I think my dad has gone f***ing insane; It's going way too far and I have trouble processing the last 5 months. He's always been very conservative, but now QAnon has consumed his life to the point where it's tearing our family apart along with my mental health," the Reddit post said. "Back in January he saw the video of Marjorie Taylor Greene harassing [fellow high school student] David Hogg about the shooting being a false-flag operation, and while my dad was already into Q, he'd never gone down that particular rabbit hole and now he's convinced everything was a hoax and it breaks my f***ing heart." As Salon has previously reported, QAnon has torn apart marriages and families; hence, the creation of the aforementioned Reddit forum, which has become a digital support group for nearly 179,000 people who swap stories, advice and guidance. Some posters describe the experience of completely "losing" their loved one. Others are more alarming, like the woman whose "Qhusband" got a gun license because of the conspiracy, which made her feel "sick to my stomach." But this user's shed light on how the cult-like group can brainwash family members of those who have firsthand experienced a horrible national tragedy, like the Stoneman Douglas school shooting, which left 17 people dead in 2018. Last week, Vice spoke with the author of the Reddit post and confirmed their identity as a survivor of the Parkland, Fla. shooting; the author spoke on the condition of anonymity using the name "Bill." "It started a couple months into the pandemic with the whole anti-lockdown protests," Bill told Vice. "His feelings were so strong it turned into facts for him. So if he didn't like having to wear masks it wouldn't matter what doctors or scientists said. Anything that contradicted his feelings was wrong. So he turned to the internet to find like-minded people which led him to QAnon." It's an interesting and tragic tale, and at odds with how parents of Sandy Hook's victims responded when far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones tried to convince his followers the massacre was a hoax. Joe Kelly, a cult intervention specialist, said trauma affects people differently, and straight-out denying an event happened — like your son almost dying in a school shooting — could be one way to cope. www.rawstory.com/parkland-conspiracy/ |

This type of information - researched and shown in black and white… This comment scares me in that there is no realization from readers that the organization doing this research is led by people with democratic/blue backgrounds from their educations on up into professional practices. There is very little if any bi-partisan representation in this study. |

To that end, we convened a politically diverse group of conservative, progressive, and independent public opinion experts to study the electorate together through new primary research.

It's almost like they can't stand to see the word democracy in ANY form. The word can ONLY mean extreme left ideas and is absolutely NOT the very foundation of the organization of country. It's really sad how long gone critical thinking skills are. We are failing our children in our schools and this is what happens when you don't teach that skill.

Attending a liberal arts college does not automatically make you a liberal. One of the goals of liberal arts colleges is to broaden your perspective and introduce you to people from different backgrounds and experiences. Many conservative politicians and Republicans attended Harvard, Yale, Princeton etc. George W Bush, Tucker Carlson, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley. I think you’re overly sensitive to bias and seeing bias in places where it isn’t. The world isn’t out to get conservatives and Republicans.

This is a study based on the analysis of the data from the Voter Study Group presented to these individuals for and because of their experience and expertise on the subject. And if you look at the list of individuals that did the analyzing you will find a mix of conservatives, libertarians, centralists, & liberals. It would appear that you are the one having a problem of seeing what this study is all about. As to both sides finding common ground, that’s not going to happen until those on the right start dealing with reality and quit living in some world that only exists in their collective noggins. |

And that’s what these political threads and ladies on them do so well — cherry pick the details you need to prove your viewpoint, completely ignore any and everything previously said three days ago, and can’t or won’t open your mind to other perspectives. It’s like stewing in your own feces - you smell and no one wants to be around because the stench is so bad.
This place really has turned into a muck of unhappiness for people who can’t find a life. I should have known trying to come back was a waste of time because no one here is interested in improving the world.
Have fun living in your bubbles of short sighted kumbaya.

She had nothing to do about masks, it was the Capitol physician who made the decision!
