One of the most effective (and horrible) things the people behind Qanon did was find a way of collecting and brainwashing people from all sorts of sub-cultures under their umbrella of crapulence. Wellness nuts, western New Agers, evangelical Christians, traditional Catholics, survivalists, Falun Gong, conspiracy theorists (flat-earthers, ancient alien believers, anti-vaxxers, 'plandemic' believers, etc.), white supremacists, libertarians, anti-semites, the anti-gay movement, mothers who worry about sexual child abuse, anti-immigrant advocates... The list goes on and on.
So many friendships and families have been destroyed by this crap. It's heartbreaking.
