What does a relatively small and insignificant religious group like Qanon and the billions of people around the world who have nothing to do with them but just don't want to be forced to take the experimental covid vaccine (and "all that") with the problems of direct democracy Catfish? I'm sure you can explain those vital links for me please because I fail to see your point. Are you just trying to take two political shots with one stone so to speak?

The problem that our increasingly authoritarian governments have with such people is not their beliefs but rather that free thinkers are inherently difficult to control and regiment. Casting your favorite political boogymen as the reason why democracy doesn't work puts you in that camp.
