Q never once referenced adrenochrome directly. Theories around the use and production of adrenochrome emerged in the shadow (if you will) of the Q drops and as an organic development in the Great Awakening phenomena.

The idea that 'democrats/elites' partake in this activity should be reworked. It has become clearer and clearer that the differences between the political parties of Democrat and Republican have been used for show for decades, as a means to control the narrative, and keep the public divided.

Switch "establishment" for 'democrats' to be more accurate.

Believing is something you should do with care, and on the basis of clear thinking, logic, factual information and reasoning.

It is not contradictory to believe or affirm that the Q operation is a legit operation but also be skeptical about the theories around consumption of blood / adrenochrome. However, the more one understands the Q operation, and its purpose, the easier it is to reduce skepticism around consumption of blood / adrenochrome. But yes, one is not the other. They are separate things.
