People have already seen the Q swag.
This is better. No paytriotism required. Zero barriers.
Also you could say that about most of the reporting done on Q thus far, that it scares people more than it intrigues.
I disagree because that’s been how Trump has gamed the media so hard for the last 7 years. He sets traps that look bad, and get lots of publicity, and then upon closer inspection, he’s right, both factually and morally.
So let me get this straight now...
have you EVER seen someone with a hand drawn Q shirt? a hand-drawn car sticker? Hand drawn Q hat? A sign I will give you.
are you implying that any gesture with a hand in the air closely resembles the nazi salute? They OWN any hand in the air gestures now? Similarly, nazis also had patches on their arms, does that make all other people with patches on their arms nazis?
personally I don’t think the optics are bad. And you haven’t even given this a few days to sit before jumping into action on conclusions and “optics” and telling people what to conclude. You haven’t even given time for rebound or to see the effects or anything.
My best guess is that the next rally will have 60,000 people with their finger in the air.
You know who the modern day nazis are? The fuckin’ people abroad openly wearing nazi swastika patches and symbols and verbally affirming their nazi beliefs and actually acting out those beliefs violently. Media wasn’t scared to report on all of that until late 2019
Also, regarding the “draw something” thing...it’s a lot to expect of people to simply have something with them saying Q on it all the time, at the ready, and that could also be dangerous too.
You ALWAYS carry your hand and finger with you. It’s ALWAYS at the ready. There’s no lower barrier. Not sure what’s hard to understand about that. A different gesture could have been chosen, sure. But too bad. It appears the choice has been made, and my opinion is it’s for the publicity.
It’s the people behind the symbols, not the symbols. It’s up to us to define what that symbol means, by our actions and our words.
