Q is a stanky terrorist pedo … guilty of DATA intrusion & theft. Snitch regurgitates & twists other people’s shit 💩 & remixes it with crap put out by the stanky Klan on old fart BBS.
I’m sorry, but this story infuriates me. It shows how the total lack of critical thinking skills in education let those of average intelligence and below fall down these rabbit holes. Teach the goddamn critical thinking skills. I’m a retired mentor teacher and I have witnessed first hand the dire inadequacies of our educational system. The bar for entering teaching needs to be way higher, but we are a nation of anti-intellectualism and always have been. That’s how we ended up with this cesspool of a country.
But it seems unbelievable to me that anyone could buy into the “mishagas” of Qanon. I feel like they have some defective brain function. Haven’t they observed the real world long enough to know what Qanon pushes can’t possibly be true. I’m 72 years old, but sometimes I think I’m still naive.
They are trying to erase that which doesn’t align with their own twisted version of history. Isn’t that what they are doing with religion, sexual orientation, the role of women? If they say so, it must be right. They are lazy and hateful. I resent having to have my life damaged by buffoons. The lady who “climbed out of the rabbit hole of Q anon” is only one twitter post away from going to the tin foil hat store and buying the latest style.
What I have found among the people I have interviewed to get their stories about Leaving MAGA is that, to a person, they are all now using critical thinking skills and are no longer in a head space that would allow them to fall for Trump Inc.'s snake oil
Thanks, Joyce. I agree, our country has not done a good job teaching critical thinking skills. And now Trump Inc. are trying to erase more of our history.
I don’t think it’s good to be so hard on these folks like Erica. They are victims of a pretty sophisticated info war machine/psy op. They work on a subset of people like Erica. My brain is not well suited for conspiracy theories - at all . By fluke of birth and environment many of us could not be influenced. By fluke of birth and environment - a subset of us were easily played, duped, lied to, etc. whenever I want to get really angry at them , I also realize many of them never stood a chance and makes me really sad, and angry at DJT, Flynn- the people at the controls.. I hope more and more begin to see slowly slowly that they have been used, that’s not an easy reckoning.
The stories of people who have been pulled into the orbit of manipulative persons *and found their way back out again* are very important, I think. They can teach us a lot.
Stories like this are so important because they illustrate how people are sucked into these conspiracy theories. She was conditioned to "ignore the obvious" and believe lies. I myself had a hard time understanding why someone would get sucked into MAGA or QAnon but I see that it's a lot like being indoctrinated into a religion.
Thanks, Fabiana. What gives me hope is that Erica's story -- and those of the others in my series They Left MAGA -- demonstrate that it is possible, even for people who have fallen deep into the rabbi hole -- to climb out of it.
Fuck her

But if they are so easily manipulated to think “rationally”, it is only a hop, skip and jump to believing conspiracies again, don’t you think?
The people I have interviewed understand what happened to them and are determined not to let it happen again.

These groups prey on adult survivors of abuse to manipulate their trauma into believing & supporting this bullshit.

Couldn't agree more. Erica is no hero. She should carry this shame to her grave. Stupid people like her ruined this country.
