    Lets be specific
    The document specifically mentions QAnon, a shadowy network that believes in a deep state conspiracy against President Trump, and Pizzagate, the theory that a pedophile ring including Clinton associates was being run out of the basement of a Washington, D.C., pizza restaurant (which didn’t actually have a basement).#

    Conspiracies like these are waste of time and effort and clearly this Q guy is attracting a large following online and if you believe Q you really not thinking straight.

    It lists a number of arrests, including some that haven’t been publicized, related to violent incidents motivated by fringe beliefs.

    I think this is why you have watch some of these conspiracy groups. Some of them are just mad in the head and with so many guns freely available in homes, violence may break out. Trump fanbase are not all there.

    In some cases, probably. In others, its discussions about classified matters, often by switching contexts. For example, enemy aircraft become UFOs, foreign agents become aliens, etc.
