Right-wing pushes QAnon Hoax

Right-wing media push QAnon-linked hoax claiming a kid was jumped for wearing a MAGA hat

A QAnon-supporting parent in Florida claimed in late November that their son was jumped by “8 black kids” for wearing a Trump hat. In December, the account posted a video that was allegedly taken of the kids beating the child up on a school bus — and right-wing news outlets and pundits ran with it. But the school system says the attack was unrelated to politics.

On November 21, the @AmericanDiaries Twitter account, a supporter of the QAnon conspiracy theory, shared a photo of a child with a blanket over their head, claiming the child is their son and that he’d been attacked because of his pro-Trump beliefs. ...

So I wonder if the overall Trump cult will eventually fracture into sub-cults. The Trumpite QAnon cult. The Trump is Jesus cult. The Reorganized Trumpites. The KFC Sundays. The Too Long Ties. The Square Heads. The Orange Feces. The Bannonites. The Millerites. The Barrites. The Stalagmites.

Wouldn't surprise me.

ETA: Sorry, don't have anything to say about the OP. It just made me reflect again on this latest American cult.

At least The Stalagmites have a point.

Sure, but they've still been living in a cave all these years.
