Same as any other conspiracy theory really: > The thing I don't get still is how QAnon became so big. I don't talk to him anymore, he's a fucking stranger to me these days. My dad filed for divorce and they separated. She lost her mind, quite literally, a little bit later. She had no idea what I was talking about. I took her down to my computer and I showed her 4chan and a few other places and asked her is this what she was talking about when talking about Anonymous. I didn't understand where the conjunction between right-wing media consumption and a quasi-hacker group intersected. Then I remember my step-mom telling me she wanted to join Anonymous and become the biggest informant ever. But when my family got hooked it was weird they had been watching Glenn Beck and Alex Jones and other rightwing figures. I remember when Anonymous started there too. I remember when 4chan came along, I remember it being just a silly place. I've been on the internet since the mid 90s. It was really strange to watch my family fall into QAnon.
