It matches perfectly. The less mental challenges you have in your daily life, the less your general intelligence. All tech is dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. It's not the 80s when knowing how to use a computer would have branded you a genius by the older folk.

Important to remember that there's a lot of really smart, cool Americans.
It's just that the loud, Trump following brigade are so demonstrative and brash that it takes up all the focus.
It started with the nightmarish 'Build A Wall' chants ringing out and those stupid little red hats and hasn't ever eased up really.
Having a President like Trump is basically like a bait for all the morons to come out of the Woodwork and voice the stupid, idiot garbage that they've pent up during the previous President's tenure...
Indeed, it often feels that the 'back and forth' of the above is a predictable pattern within U.S politics.
Yeah, totally! People were a lot smarter before they came up with this new "symbols on papyrus" thing. What was so bad about sitting around a fire and listening to the oldest guy talk, and trying to remember it so that you can repeat it around the fire in the future? The less mental challenges you have in your daily life, the less your general intelligence. It's not the 8000s BC when knowing how to chisel a mammoth into the side of a cave wall would have branded you a genius by the older folk.
Quite the back projection you made there. I think you need more mental challenges in your daily life.
I'm a teacher and all the schools are closed, you might be onto something.

tunnel tots is a good shout
Someone in the comments “subterranean anklebiters”
Soil Sprogs? Mud-lings?
Someone I know, vaguely, always goes on about all of this on twitter. He loves Q.
Funny seeing his reaction to Q telling everyone to shut the feck up with their bullshit conspiracies

Sounds like a breakdown. I'm surprised in a country as fecked up as theirs and with the access to weapons they have there aren't more stories like this, with bigger consequences.

Recommend reading the link for the full picture but it is scary.

Final bit:
This whole thing is an intelligence agency operation to keep Trump voters, who received absolutely nothing of what they were promised by that buffoon, onside. This is the lot of the rural white conservative in the USA now. Get completely lied to and gypped no matter who you vote for and get some crumbs of conspiracy nonsense for your troubles.
Red americans have turned in to the one armed guy in Springfield that owns the military hardware store. "Welcome to the normal states of America.....and Springfield".
So is their a special way to pronounce the name of this club? I would also bet my last dollar that it is a 400lb incel sitting in his mom's basement.
The tragic thing is this fecker procreated. A lot.
Northwest Georgia is spooky.
I can only imagine the number of persons vanished/buried/dumped by sheriffs and locals in these rural towns over the years. Many citizens have that dangerous mindset akin to Ozark character Darlene Snell - they hate outsiders, they hate progress, they hate anything not conforming to their misguided beliefs. It is spooky.
What the feck, it's pronounced Q-anon? I thought it was Quaynon. The man in the car is evidently suffering from a mental disorder. That's the danger of these internet things. Sick people latch on to them and, instead of keeping their rubbish on reddit where it belongs, go out into the real world and do damage. Not unlike religious terrorists recruiting unstable people. In the end Qanon is sort of like a religion I suppose.
And it’s not even the ‘Deliverance’ side of northern Georgia. It’s a special kind of batshit crazy.
It’s people believing in fiction. It’s exactly like a religion.
Bloody hell.
America is a basket case.
Good old Moloch. Haven't heard his name since the noughties.
Used to argue with a guy who believed in Quran Science. A lot like Kabbalah. Basically, the Quran predicted lots of scientific discoveries centuries before they happened. The evidence for which is revealed in words that are similar to modern words. One example is a verse which describes the pillars of fire from God, into which backstabbers (yup) and very rich people will be thrown. The fiery fury of Allah is called 'Hotamah', which Quranic Science devotees see as eerily close to 'Atom'. Well, close enough to claim that this Hotamah word clearly predicted the development of nuclear weapons.
And that's how insane most of the Q stuff is. Letters are numbers, hand gestures are coded signs, and a well-known sex pest and alleged rapist is going to uncover a giant paedophile ring that just happens to include all the people that Conservative Christian America hates.

I have a pretty close friend that is an avid Qanon follower/believer/fecking idiot. He's not completely functional, is 27, has never left home (not that that is necessarily a bad thing), has issues to do with employment, is obsessed with gold and silver, still believes Trump is draining the swamp, talks in riddles and redirects whenever people grill him etc. He's very loveable but his ascent into full-blown derangement on lots of stuff to do with politics/the wider world has started to wear thin as I've grown up a bit. Keep him away from that stuff and he's great. The annoying thing is reads a lot, so even though what he's talking about is complete and obvious nonsense, he'll bombard you with so much shit it's difficult to shut him down. We're from the U.K., which makes it even fecking worse! It'd be hilarious if it wasn't genuinely a bit scary, the cnut.
The Gish gallop, a favourite among that crowd. I assaume he's a big fan of Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, that lot too? Maybe even Sargon of Akkad and other YouTubers?
The sad thing is that there's probably nothing you can do about it. If he's into Q, he's so far down the rabbit hole that you won't be able to reason him out of it. He'll have to realize it on his own, and basically de-radicalize himself (like he was at one point radicalized).
Does he use the term "cognitive dissonance" a lot too? Because I know someone like that
One of my best friends is the same. He follows Ben Shapiro, etc. and believes that George Soros and the communism international is behind all the evil in the world.

Won't spoil the progression but QAnon features heavily.

These people are allowed to vote. One day we will look back at democracy and scoff.
