I have spoken to a handful of hardcore Q followers in public (NOT online).

They very well COULD have been mentally ill. They have communication characteristics similar to a deranged leftist except instead of "personal superiority" being their dominant trait like with many leftists instead "hope for the non-obvious" seems to be their motivation justification for their beliefs. They seemed fully unable to even consider another perspective.

Please remember that this place is to help Q people and ex Q people. We must be polite to them. Everyone makes mistakes. I believed muh 6 gorillion in the hall-of-cost until embarrassingly recently.

Thank you.

Understood. It's not really accurate to refer to them as "mentally ill" because believing in hope does not make a mental illness.

At that point they if they were MKUltra autonomous sleeper cells what would be the difference? And who knows what's going to be the next trigger. Could be 5G or trump making a BBQ.
