QAnon true believers say Trump is leading the battle against the deep state and the child-sacrificing, lucifer-worshipping elites. To let the public know what’s going on, posts by Q reveal “breadcrumbs” of top secret information.
This is, of course, insane horseshit.
But that fact still leaves us with a problem: Q is clearly somebody. Or a group of people.
And this somebody or somebodies is well-versed in conspiracy theories, persistent enough to keep posting for nearly a year, and highly defensive against anyone who calls bullshit on QAnon.
Which means, unfortunately, the only way to guess the true identity of QAnon is to create your own conspiracy theory.
There are currently six skeptical theories that explain the real origin of the QAnon posts.
4chan Trolls
Conspiracy Theory Scammers
Live Action Role Play (LARP)
Russian PsyOp
Deep State Pied Piper Operation
Trump Aide Dan Scavino
To be clear, many of these theories aren’t mutually exclusive. Q may be multiple groups acting together, each with different goals for QAnon. But these six theories are the most commonly cited possible explanations.
Here’s a break down of each theory and what they mean:
