    Qanon/pizzagate was never about protecting children or actually getting justice for people being trafficked.

    It was a self-inserted live-action role-playing adventure where anyone with unemployment checks and a couple guns could dress up in their tactical gear and start piecing together word puzzles in their basements so they can go feel like they’re doing something meaningful with their lives and avoid the crushing reality that they’re just uneducated, unqualified normal-ass people who are just as vulnerable to the whims of tyrants and criminals in power as the rest of us.

    What’s a more noble thing to be fanatical about than rescuing children? Surely, everyone would praise such a worthy crusade and the amount of respect and adoration you would get for rescuing children would make mom stop telling you to get a job, right?

    When the actual sex-trafficking, child-murdering cabal came into light, it stopped being fun. It’s too big, too confusing, too many high-profile people involved and the average person can’t unlock any secrets or clues that will make them a hero.

    Not to mention, most of the Q-anon chuds were themselves trump-voting pedophiles, a lot of those fuckers were just overcompensating for their own proclivities.
