My daughter got married last October, the height of covid fears. It wasn't going to be a large affair anyway, mostly family; but a lot of them declined. In the end, it was mostly their friends: young, loyal, and not all that afraid of their own mortality (or willing to turn down access to an open bar). A splendid time was had despite the low turnout.This is how QAnon has morphed in the last few months. The branding is gone but the mythology is identical, and it’s in churches and yoga groups and parenting groups on Facebook and in real life.

But when you bring up Q, they’ll pretend they don’t know what you’re talking about. https://t.co/t6Ydn8LmiB
And there were more people there than in this tent in the video. Hell, I had more people than that on my worst Sunday in parish ministry.
I don’t really care what this guy is saying. More people know what he said because of Twitter than heard him live. We really all need to calm down.
It's like when the "Tea Party" was all over the cabloids, CNN covered one of its events in, as I recall, Nashville and Southern Beale pointed out that a knitters convention in the same city on the same weekend had more attendees. Though I think the problem with QAnon type stuff is at least as much if not almost entirely in the mentally ill who are inspired by it to do violence. I think the anti-vax stuff which has about the same shape in followship that the tweet lays out is far more dangerous.
