I stumbled onto Q in January, 2018 because I kept seeing references to Q in the Conservative Treehouse comments section. Can't even remember how I found CTH. One of the first big "proofs" for me in real time was the John Perry Barlow thing. I didn't know who he was on January 27 when Q posted his name in the "NOBODY is safe" post 628, so I looked him up. A couple of weeks later he was dead. At the time I thought "Maybe this Q person knew he was sick." But I also thought picking someone like Barlow as relevant to the deep state issues being discussed would require a pretty wild imagination. There was something about his random relevance and the fact that truth is stranger than fiction that grabbed me.
Fast forward and I am older and maybe just a wee bit wiser. My entire world view has been flipped upside down. I have spent a significant percentage of my adult life reading and researching and listening to podcasts, and the only thing I know for sure is that I don't know the half of it. Carry On Digital Soldiers! Just wanted to share. When did you find Q?
I had a "Neo" moment when I started to notice things just weren't as they seemed. My boss at the time totally red pilled me, then turned me on to X22, and it just snowballed from there, just over four years ago.
I had that realization. I voted for Trump in the 2016 primary; mostly because I didn't want Cruz. (I'm a Texan.) I voted for whatever Libertarian candidate there was as a protest vote in the general election.
The MSM was blasting Trump left right and sideways. Congress was after him. (likely had already started with the first impeachment) Yet, if you ignored all of that, things were going really well with the economy, the stock market, etc. Things just weren't adding up. So, I started checking out The Donald on reddit. That started to open my eyes. I became a Pede. I found myself on The Donald more and more. Then, r/The_Donald got banned on reddit. They created thedonald.win so I got on over there. I found myself on thedonald.win more than I was on reddit. At one point on reddit I got gagged in a subreddit I rarely visited for something I said in a different reddit. This was the final straw. Reddit had already gone to shit, first starting when the refugees came over from Digg, and now that. I killed my 11+ year old reddit account.
As to how I became an Anon, check out my comment to the OP in this thread.
