Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"Demonspawn in the flesh" is definitely the case for some of them.
It's not that they're just molesting kids, there are theories that they're "[harvesting adrenachrome[(https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/pseudoscience/qanons-adrenochrome-quackery)" from them.
There's a joke that was going around a while ago about a conspiracy theorist who (somehow) made it to heaven:
See, the thing is that these conspiracy theorists will never believe the truth, whatever the truth is. They'll always think the conspiracy goes even deeper.
So, even if maybe he could survive being linked to having sex with teens, the problem is that his base believes that the "sex with teens" is just a cover for something much worse. All he'd be doing by admitting to sex with teens is to admit he was part of the satanist cabal. So, his only solution is to deny and deflect. But, denials just make it seem like he's hiding something. And, while deflecting normally works for him, this is a foundational conspiracy of the MAGA base. This isn't just some odd side-conspiracy like Obama conspiring against Trump, or Twitter suppressing news about Hunter Biden's laptop. If there is any one central conspiracy uniting the right, it's the child sex trafficking stuff.
