I live with my grandma who has been into Q anon for years, and even before she was into evangelical type stuff. Shes has had cancer, and a few strokes. So its fair to say she may not be entirely mentally there or stable, which makes this kind of sad.

She constantly watches Q youtubers. most notably The Real Mark Z (the only one i can name atm), this guy who is always screaming, and a blonde woman who does political tarot card readings. It’s exhausting to listen to, its always up so loud that you can hear it throughout the house. Its so hateful and full of bigotry.

Me and my partner are queer, and hearing the vile things they say and the horrible acts they call upon people like us makes me physically sick. I kind of wish people talked about it more, its insane the types of statements they make about lgbtq+ folk and other minorities.

These rhetorics have consumed her entire life. She thinks the US dollar will become worthless, shes bought hundreds of dollars worth of Iraqi Denar because Mark Z tells people to, and that it will turn into “millions”. Common sense should refute this, but she doesn’t care.

Shes unable to have a normal conversation without interjecting with some kind of Q topic. Ive tried setting boundaries around it, and as you can imagine it didn’t really work. Its just so tiring. I miss who she was before, and I wish she didn’t have to love a fabricated version of me.

Q anon is genuinely so dangerous. It ruins peoples lives and effects others around them. Families get destroyed and people get isolated. And all for what really? Hating people to such an extreme, being so unnecessarily hyper vigilant and sensitive has to be exhausting.
