QAnon seems as ludicrous as David Icke's assertion that the UK royal family and others are alien reptiles in disguise (and he doesn't mean just scaly or venomous - he means actual reptiles). Kind of deep state, but with aliens.
I've seen him interviewed, and what surprised me was the lack of laughter. No matter how absurd Icke got, the interviewer just followed up with more questions.
I was pleased to see a reporter finally question Trump about his lies. The man's a lying liar, and yet the press keep on showing up, throwing him softballs and taking notes. Don't they have any dignity? If he keeps lying, just walk out. What's the point of keeping on listening?
People seem surprisingly resistant to calling out bullshit when they see it. We tiptoe around so as not to cause offence to someone's cherished beliefs, or to avoid showing disrespect to the office held by the bullshitter-in-chief. Maybe we just pander too much, or maybe I'm just getting old and cranky.
