are controlling our lives. i m presumably they can be that many people believing hillary clinton drinks baby s blood? you would be surprised. oh, my gosh. i m not kidding you. so, what happened was that this qanon conspiracy theory about the cabal of satanic paedophiles merged with the conspiracy theory about how the election was stolen, and in a sense, that conspiracy theory which involves these weird voting machines called dominion voting machines which apparently were flipping votes from trump to biden, that conspiracy theory was also promoted by this same ron watkins guy who was one of the administrators who we think may have been controlling qanon. so these two things merged, and what has happened now is that the idea that america is controlled by a malevolent force, a deep state that has subverted its democracy, is now mainstream political opinion, right? there is a massive battle going on inside the republican party between those who believe this big lie, those
