Zero sympathy for this down the Q rabbit hole defense. These are adults.

I understand the sentiment. But have you read into his upbringing?

I shed no tears for adult Jensen and his actions. I do fear for others like him who can be exploited by powerful men with malevolent motives.

Where can you read into his upbringing?

Copied from another comment. Again, I’m not hand waving Jensen. Trying to expand what we’re looking at. The first link points to his 4 hour LE interview.

“ I took it for granted that people on this sub were more familiar with this guy. Iirc, he was sexually abused for a period of time as a child. He then went whole hog into qanon. Was jailed because he couldn’t stay away from mike lindell conferences while on home confinement.

Why he may have been susceptible to the Qanon hole:

It was a cause he said he associated with because he had been molested from ages 7 to 14.
