edit: This was in september 2020. People identifying themselves as "republican" (not members of GOP) are about 30 percent believing in quanon theories. Whoever makes those surveys. This survey could also be a conspiracy of course 
I first thought that like Trump the republican party did not want to lose any voters, so Proud boys, quanon or whoever queers were just accepted for the numbers and votes, and not driven away. But if they really believe in this... |
It's true but people are easily led to believe almost anything. And members of the Congress of the USA are not exempt. Why it was not that far back in history that almost every Democrat member of Congress including the leadership believed that President Trump was a Russian asset and that he was elected to office with the assistance of Vlad Putin. Some of those Democrats actually had information that it was not true but continued to spout this consiracy theory on TV almost daily. That guy was Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Ca). Schiff also claimed that he had evidence of this theory but of course he never shared it.
So let's ask a question. Which conspiracy theory, Rep. Green's idiot belief in Q-Anon or Rep. Schiff's idiot belief in a Russian under every bed did or will do more harm?
Imagine for a second that the stars lined up for the Dems and they used the Russian collusion accusation to have Trump removed from office. No amount of belief in any Q-Anon nonsense would have come close to the harm that would have done to the American Republic. But these conspiracy believers were doing everything they could to make it happen. And remember ... they were true believers.
And remarkably few if any have admitted that they were wrong. And many people including a close friend of mine still believe this is true. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is going to have to work really hard to catch up to the Dems in Congress if she is going to top them.
