It actually was precisely the plan - conspiracy theories are sown by the establishment to deflect from itself and shift blame elsewhere, so they can get away with whatever they want to and still maintain power.

Qanon was about deflecting “the most rich and powerful in society get away with trafficking, rape, and murder” to “liberals get away with trafficking, rape, and murder”. In the same way that “the economy is controlled by a small group of rich and powerful capitalists” is deflected to “the economy is controlled by Jews”, and “abusive men in positions of power groom children” to “drag queens groom children”.

Those of you downvoting me, do you know something I don’t?

Can someone explain to me why this is pushed so hard? I read up on the issue, and it was a friend of his who was trafficing girls. Then an FBI sting tried to coerce his father by offering a ton of money to get him to say his son was in on it. Local FBI set his dad up with a wire and they actually arrested/charged/sentenced the FBI agent who tried to go after him.

Like, this is easily findable information.
