In case anyone else was curious about the unexplained initialism near the end of the article, WWG1-WGA is "Where we go one, we go all," which apparently is a call of solidarity for QAnon followers to say they will support each other by following each other.

It's disconcerting how many people are willing to believe the most outlandish claims without any hard evidence of anything. None of the ideas presented here passes "the sniff test."

Who can possibly believe that elected officials are secretly ruining massive pedophelia rings, with teachers showing porn in classes and forcing kids to have gender reassignment surgery... It's insane.

WWG1-WGA is a big part of the reason that the movement is so successful. People crave being part of something bigger, fighting some righteous battle in the name of good. Qanon exploits those desires and masquerades as just what they're seeking. Unfortunately it's not a righteous battle they're engaging in, it's an ignorant and destructive fairytale meant to spread fascism and benefit the far-right.
