...but one of them is a great big whopper: that a core belief of Q/Anon followers is that violence may be necessary.
Q has had a huge influence in making people wait and see what is going to happen, and has asserted that events are under control, so that violence on the part of the public will not even be needed.
That is, in fact, the primary effect of Q, and probably is also an intended effect of Q.
Secondarily, Q has taught people to look beyond pat explanations of events. The mistrust people have these days toward various people and institutions is only them beginning to reap what they have amply sown.
You cannot have a viable society with such rampant deceit. Q incorporated a lot of disinformation and ambiguity into the drops, but there were also accepted facts being assembled into toward a coherent picture that appears to be true. Q connected a number of dots that many people would have preferred be left scattered.
Once you start asking the right questions, you can start reaching the right conclusions. The conspiracy theories provide the questions, but the information to support them usually comes through conventional channels.

A couple months ago, I put a piece of paper on the fridge--our Scammer Prayer List. We were often getting multiple scam calls per day, and while probably none of them told us their real name, God stills knows who they are and where they live, and He surely has something better for them to do all day than bother people like us.
Two names went onto the list, and these scammers were duly prayed for--they still are--and suddenly the number of scam calls dropped, by a lot. The list still has only two names on it.
The Bible says that "the gates of hell" will not prevail against Christ's Church.
A boomer apologizes, albeit without much clarity.
"It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs," Jesus said; Matthew 15:26.
I recently understood that I am spending my life in rebuilding spiritual and practical foundations that had been foolishly undermined by previous generations.
Several months ago I was reading a nonfiction book by Christian author Paul Tournier, and made it about three-quarters of the way through before being drawn away to other things.
When I picked it up this last week and finished reading it, I found references to about a dozen Bible passages that had come up in my daily Bible readings in the interim, mostly obscure Old Testament personages with a variety of afflictions; Tournier was a Swiss doctor famous for connecting his Christianity with his medical practice.
I also read a Christian fiction book this last week: Deadline, by Randy Alcorn. One day, what I read in the book mirrored my morning Bible reading on that same day.
