In early January 2021, the Munn family hitched their camper to the back of a pickup truck, loaded it, and set out from their hometown of Borger, Texas, for a trip back east. The family outing was to be less vacation and more of a field trip, focusing on civics. Former President Donald Trump had called his supporters to Washington DC to protest the results of what he deemed a stolen election, and the Munns counted themselves among his loyal followers.
With dreams of an alternate reality guiding them — one in which Mr Trump retained power and the Democrats were ousted from the White House — the Munns began their journey. Signs taped to the back of their camper proclaimed with pride — "We Are Q."
