Kinda like all the evidence Trump had on the election and Biden, Schiff and Pelosi had on Trump, the R's had on Hillary and right on down the list.

Does anyone care about anything that Qanon and its members says, does or believes?

Typical.
Saying that the right follows Qanon and Alex Jones is about as accurate as saying that the left is led by Bernie Sanders and the Antifa.
Talk about painting with a broad brush

You might reread what I wrote. I never said anything about a majority of conservatives following QAnon or Alex Jones. (But I do think Bernie Sanders does represent a reasonable percentage of the left, which is why he has support. He is, after all, a standing US Senator.)
There are varying opinions on ANTIFA, but they never made factual predictions. There is no equivalent conspiracy-driven group on the left, at least not a visible one. I am more interested in the fact that QAnon and Alex Jones regularly predict the future, and in ways that are readily falsifiable. The fact that the predictions never come true, while they retain support, is inherently interesting.
It is not dissimilar to the predictions of fundamentalists like Harold camping, who predicted the end of the world in 2011. Many of his supporters gave away their homes and money, quit their jobs, etc., expecting to be raptured up. I fully expect to see QAnon persist into the future, despite the predictions being completely untrue.

You want to investigate how conspiracy theories gain credence?
How about investigating how the previous president was harassed and impeached over something that the current president actually did?
-And how that previous president was impeached again over a "mostly peaceful" protest that he had little to do with?
Yeesh.
Hmmm. You are kind of not getting it.

What you quoted and ostensibly responded to says nothing about the right following Qanon or Alex Jones. In fact it says nothing about the right at all. What's the difficulty with responding to what's been asked instead of pretending that the question was something else entirely and then responding to that fiction?
If you want to talk about something other than the topic at hand, why wouldn't you just start another thread on that topic? It seems like you are not at all interested in the question the OP asked--so why post on the thread at all?
I'm not saying you can't post on it, I just don't understand what the point is.
Now now boys. I think Qanon is the equivalent of antifa. Both are extremists that are primarily bent on stirring up trouble. To say one represents the right and one the left is simply not true. The predictions do puzzle me. But remember they are trying to make activists out of ordinary peaceful citizens just like BLM and Antifa. I don't think any of them are too good for the country but on the other hand we still have Free speech. I think it is much worse to try to censor them. Which seems to be the goal of the left.
Because there are no conspiracy theories. World leaders have been talking about a New World orders since at least the 1870's as in Albert Pike, Woodrow Wilson etc. Soros has been talking about his open society for decades and makes no secret of it. Most recently there was a Meeting at Devos. Speeches were aired on video of Soros, Gates and many other world leaders about the ":Great Reset". It is not a secret or a theory. They call it a conspiracy because part of the left's agenda is to ridicule opponents by using misleading terms. Of course the media is part of it and only tell you what they want you to think. That is why they are pushing censorship and calling opposition hate speech or racist. The Communists said they would exploit racial division and they have. None of this is a theory, everything they are doing and saying has been public for generations. People just refuse to pay attention or allow themselves to consider that something is not right. The self censorship of the left. That is why the left is very uniform in what they say. Qanon appeals to people that know something is wrong but don't know what to do about it. In my opinion they give false hope. The hope of the World is not a group or any politician. The only hope is the return of Jesus Christ. I think that the result of the recent election is judgement on the US for failing to repent and turn to God. Jonathan Kahn's books and videos explain it pretty clearly.
I don't advocate censorship, but we have to look at the predictions and their reliability, in the hopes people still retain critical faculties.
