This was fascinating. Thanks for putting the chronology together for us.

I first became aware of the absolute insanity of QAnon when the two "ladies" who helped me clean my house verbally attacked me and a friend with their crazed notions about Soros and Democrats who eat babies. Interestingly, both are ardent Lutherans. They no longer are allowed into my home. I consider them dangerous. I'll live with cat hair and dust, but I won't tolerate threats of violence and that's essentially what those two QAnon followers espouse, along with their Alice in Wonderland foolishness!

Do you ever feel as though you are caught in some kind of horror film? Wingnuts for sure. Problem is these folks are all connected and feed off each other, then they push the poison on the rest of the world. Putin keeps reaching for "reasons" when there are none except his own paranoid madness, wanting his legacy to be that of the man (and I do mean man) who rebuilt the Russian empire from the ruin of the late 1980's to early 90's. We are all caught in his own private nightmare. The problem is, how to escape? The first thing to do is wake up! Keep resisting the madness. Give to good, reputable causes. Stand up with others publicly to defend democracy and those who are seeking to uphold democracy through their own work in the public sphere. They are there and they need to know you and I have their backs.
