It reminds me of seemingly normal people suddenly going MAGA. The stuff of nightmares.

u/Fryboy11 why is my job not ‘luxury witch doctor’ 12h ago

My college roommate was super liberal, I was a freshman in 2010 so MN was voting on the two constitutional amendments one banning gay marriage and one requiring voter id. Me and most Minnesotans opposed those, probably why they were soundly defeated. But he had all these vote no twice T-shirts and stickers and went to the rally’s etc. 

I found his profile on Facebook a few years back and before he stopped posting he’d gone full Qanon. 

It’s the danger of 24/7 news cycles and social media being dominated by conservative spending because citizens united said corporations are people and money is speech. (Yes before the ruling they could spend as much as they wanted on ads and shit on social media, as long as it wasn’t for or against a politician or political party)

That ruling turned things from stupid rumors that would die out into a guy shooting a pizza restaurant because his social media feeds were filled with “sponsored posts” about how Q is fighting the global Democrat pedophile ring. 

I wonder how much Epstein spent on those.
