Been giving this some thought. Why would Q feel the need to tell us to trust them if they weren't going to do anything that looked like a betrayal?
He never said "Trust DeSantis." Why would he? DeSantis is doing everything we feel like Trump would do if Trump were Governor of Florida.
I see so many people saying "See? Q is a liar. He said we could trust those guys!"
Well no, he TOLD us to trust those guys. Why would we need to unless they were going to do things that were seemingly not in our favor?
The black hats can read as well as we can,
Q drops can't give them actionable information just to tell us what's happening.
It's a balance of intrigue, there are some times the Q drops will be misleading for readers by necessity.
That's why a lot of the proofs are only fathomable after the fact.
