The first line shows that: "Many have concluded QAnon was a Deep State intelligence operation to lull Trump supporters into complacency in the runup to the 2020 election and to provide a new pejorative term for the Left to use against the Right."

Many? Many who? Deep State op? Any proof for those claims?

American Thinker apparently isn't smart enough to separate Q's posts, not a Deep State op, with the infiltration and subversion of the Q movement, a Deep State op.

Funny how these critiques of Q never address or look at the legitimacy of the posts themselves, and they seem to forget all the Trump connecting proofs and subtle (or not so subtle) promotion of Q related content by President Trump.

You can tell when people don't do their homework on this subject.
