Since its inception on 4chan in 2017, the right-wing cult QAnon has spread around the world and has made significant inroads among the Republican Party's fringe voting base. Led by a mysterious figure known only as Q, the occasionally violence-inspiring movement is a tangled web of conspiracy theories, the most prominent of which is that a secret global cabal of pedophiles is aiming to control humanity and that the only hope for salvation is to reinstate Donald Trump into the presidency so he can win his war against the "Deep State."
Trump has embraced at least some of those vacuous ideas. Beyond that, however, there are additional tendrils that percolate through the Q community, ranging from the Hillary Clinton "Pizzagate" fiasco to the sinister infiltration of governments by lizard people to John F. Kennedy Jr. lying in wait to become Trump's next vice president.
