"Evangelicals" is large group of people with a lot of different backgrounds. As with all groups let us take this with a grain of salt. I do know a dozen evangelicals that know about Qanon but I know far more that don't have a clue what Qanon is.
It's pretty sad how underdeveloped the BS detectors of a lot of people are. I find it hard to understand how people can fall for QAnon but then I also find it hard to understand how anybody can be swayed by campaign speeches or political advertising but obviously these things work.
It's only a sidenote in the article but I'm kind of interested in the part where facebook are taking qanon pages down. Which ones and with what justification?
in my experience QAnon is the political arm of 4Chan.<p>certainly its roots a and strength is/was 4chan based.<p>The fact that people who's social and even fiscal success is based in the circles of the evangelicals, are finding themselves very comfortable in the QAnon world just seems like a natural fit.<p>But it stretches much further than that. I know people that are Deep QAnon consumers that are non religious, living in very secular countries and have logic based (read IT), white collar type jobs.<p>Don't let yourself forget that gullible and willfully misled comes from all shapes and sizes and from all sectors in society.
i see misinformation from BLM etc every single day on twitter. how come now one cares about this misinformation or gets upset or writes articles about it?
