Stolen from Twitter, I don’t do deep dives into this shit.
Anyone who says “Jones turned on Qanon” is not worth listening to on the topic of right wing lunacy. Jones didn’t like Qanon because it was out of his hands and he couldn’t monetize it.
When I started researching it, I admit I was surprised to find that out. But that was in 2017 or early 2018.
Plus, remember when Alex tried to blackmail Q? That was just 2019.
The blackmail? He threatened to release the name of Q to his viewers unless Q came clean. He spent a couple days threatening this, then dropped it, as he often does.
Qanon in general? He said varied things over the years. Generally, he tried to avoid going at it head on, because he knew it would cost him viewers to do so. He’d be generally non-committal on the topic for the most part, and usually only his callers brought it up “well brother, I appreciate the call, but you know Q, Qanon, we just come at things from different angles”. Sometimes he’d get a bit more heated on the topic (you have to realize there’s a 40% chance he’s drunk on any given episode), saying ‘Q is a distraction’.
