I started following Q in January of 2018, about 2 months after he debuted. Hard to believe, but all Q followers were certain all of the deep state were going to be arrested that year, and everyone was ecstatic about it and were constantly writing about it.
Some anon made a post that said something like "you guys should stop expecting any arrests this year. You don't understand this is a ten year plan, and it going to a long time to take down the Deep State."
I remember I thought "that really sucks if this is true, but this guy talks like he has some inside information." As more time passes, the more I believe he did.
NC here also... grab a Precinct or District chair position! Pretty much all the newbies are MAGA and red-pilled and I've found many that also know about Q and this place. If they don't yet, they're happy to learn. Establishment gop are NOT our frens, so go in with an undercover-spy mentality until you separate the wheat from the chaff, and then get involved with the patriots you meet. Many great people are getting off their butts and pitching in. There are canvassing and other intelligence-gathering opportunities, you learn which churches and business have been based, and you get to hang out with solid people. Very refreshing.
