But, Davis also worked throughout the trial to portray Jensen as a man who had fallen deeply down the “rabbit hole” of QAnon — a conspiracy theory holding that former President Donald Trump was engaged in a global battle against a Satanic cabal of child sex abusers. A key element of the QAnon conspiracy theory is the coming of "the storm," which is the day that Trump would supposedly begin the mass arrest of members of the cabal, the so-called "deep state" and prominent Democrats. That, Davis said, is what Jensen thought was happening on Jan. 6.

On one hand, fuck Flynn for activating and co-opting Qanon on behalf of Trump. He is still out there amassing “digital soldiers” in his fraudulent religious mushbrain army. That fucker is the real snake danger.

Otoh, fuck the mullies that allowed themselves to be physically co opted into throwing their life away for Donald Trump.

We gotta do better as a society to catch these people before the Flynn types do. Imo.

What are we going to do with them when we catch them? We don't have mental asylums any more and they haven't broken any laws yet if we get them "before Flynn". This is just a pie in the sky unworkable "solution" that no one will try.
