Do you think there is a real 'Q' - a single person who is the mind behind QAnon?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33577points) February 3rd, 2021

Or do you think it’s a set of like-minded kooks, loosely confederated, who do their own thing?

Or both?

I wouldn’t be surprised to hear there is a Grand Poo Ba in this clan.

“Q”, as in a crazy person or a troll on the internet that started all this conspiracy bullshit, yes, at least at the beginning.
An actual mole inside the government that is leaking above top secret plans? HA! Dream on.

I think it would be more like a group of people, like a committee, but nothing real specific. No doubt there is one person that stands out as the group leader.

I’ve read there is a Q and a Q’s son. They’ve been identified and I think they live in Hawaii. I don’t remember their name.

Here’s one link:

I have thought there is a grand poo ba. However, a group of like-minded thinkers makes semse to me too.

There’s a good 3 part documentary on Vice about Q. It just aired last week.

I thought for sure it was Steve Bannon.
I guess this country has plenty of nutjobs.

Alex Jones, aka Bill Hicks? ; )

We could keep guessing or somebody could read my link.

@janbb Your link (which is faulty but managable), says Numerous journalists and conspiracy theory researchers believe that Watkins or his son, Ron Watkins, are working with Q, know Q’s identity, or are themselves Q. So, it suspects, but isn’t conclusive.

^^ I’ve read it other places as well but true, it’s not conclusive.

Here’s another link from ABC that references Jim Watkins and his son as likely:
