What is going on? You can sure, whatever it is, it isn't good.
Let's hope Q is the real Q. Time will tell.
If not, the obvious thing to do, as a bad actor trying to take over the comms, would be for "new Q" to play it safe for a bit and try to engender trust again. We'd expect a few fairly innocuous drops - like the current Jane Roe one - that don't really tell us anything or provide any true surprises or revelations.
Then, at some point a drop will come with some element that will raise an alarm or a question for some either because the information or language seems either wrong, misrepresented or out of character. Based on how important this channel is, that should be enough to give the whole community pause but sadly there are some anons who go on feeling and hope more than they do on logic and reason.
The real clincher, if "new Q" is a bad actor, will be when a prediction is openly made or a call to action, even small and seemingly "benign", is put out. The intent will be to discredit the movement. Anons will turn up somewhere to be mocked at best or arrested at worst (like Jan 6).
But let's hope all this is unnecessary and "new Q" is just Q! A drop with some substantial and useful information would be compelling; one that is validated by future events (future reveals past) could be even more so.
Until we have confirmation one way or the other, caution and intense scrutiny should not be criticized but embraced.
