The MAGA movement “has morphed into QMaga.

'QMaga': How QAnon, MAGA and 'Christian nationalism' have pushed the GOP into 'madness'.

During his 2020 campaign, former President Donald Trump made a point of being vague when discussing the far-right QAnon movement.
Trump refrained from overtly promoting QAnon and its conspiracy theories, but he wouldn’t say anything critical of them either and claimed that he “didn’t know much about” their movement.

Times have changed.
Trump is now openly promoting QAnon and is using exact phrases associated with the group, including “the storm” and their slogan “where we go one, we go all.”
And Trump is hardly the only MAGA Republican who is embracing QAnon.

“For years, Trump had played footsie with QAnon, claiming he didn’t know much about it but praising
its adherents’ supposed patriotism, their opposition to pedophilia and, naturally, their cultish love of him,” He went full QAnon the other day when he posted online a photoshopped image of himself wearing
a Q pin.

To make the message clear, this picture proclaimed, ‘The Storm Is Coming’ — a QAnon catchphrase referring to that ultimate showdown between Trump and the evildoers. And it contained the abbreviation for the QAnon slogan, ‘where we go one, we go all.’'

QAnon’s outlandish conspiracy theory, an international cabal of child sex traffickers, pedophiles, Satanists and cannibals who have hijacked the United States’ federal government.
Trump, as QAnon sees it, was elected president in 2016 to fight the cabal — and QAnon believes that Trump’s battle against the forces of darkness didn’t end when he lost the 2020 election.

“The insanity of a former, and possibly future, president bear-hugging QAnon cannot be overstated,” Corn warns.
“And this was no one-off, late-in-the-night s**** posting from the former guy.
He zapped out other posts with QAnon references. Then four days later, at a rally in Ohio, he delivered an apocalyptic speech against the backdrop of music resembling the QAnon theme song.

It was here that Trump supporters raised their hands and pointed a finger — possibly signaling ‘one,’ in an allusion to that QAnon slogan.”

The supposed purpose of the event was to whip up support for GOP Senate candidate J.D. Vance.
But the gathering demonstrated the fusion of MAGA extremism with QAnon and Christian nationalism.

“The irrationality has spread from the evidence-free belief that sinister players — China, Venezuela, the CIA, the media, Democrats, voting machine companies — conspired to steal the election from Trump to the conviction that American politics has become a clash between patriotic Christians and cannibalistic Satan-worshipping pedophiles,” Corn explains.

“The Ohio arena was not full, and the empty seats indicated that Trump’s mix of conspiracism, cult of personality, end-times ravings, and fundamentalism may not be a bestseller.
But many of the GOP election denialists running in state elections this year — including gubernatorial candidates Doug Mastriano, Pennsylvania, and Kari Lake, Arizona — have ties to QAnon.”

“Both Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert were QAnoners before they were elected to Congress in the last election.
But perhaps of greater concern is that the entire GOP, which has supported Trump’s authoritarian Big Lie crusade, is now willing to follow Trump further into the depths of fearmongering and madness.”

***Welcome to the nonsensical world of QANON***

Negative48, whose members were behind the mass pilgrimage to Dallas last year to see the supposed resurrection of John F. Kennedy Jr. and his alliance with former President Donald Trump to retake America from the forces of evil, are now following Trump's rallies around the country like rock concerts.

"The arrival of the QAnon group, however, has led to a silent standoff with Trump’s team, raising concerns that they could disrupt events, alienate other fans, distract from the former president’s message or generate bad publicity. The crew of crowd-control staff — male and female body builders in tight, silky green polos and black pants — keeps a close watch on the Negative48 group, telling them they can’t block the aisles with their dancing and, in Wilmington on Friday, working to head off another scene of index fingers pointing to the sky."

According to the report, the Negative48 adherents have their own bizarre numerology to divine their agenda.

"One man with the group who didn’t identify himself illustrated how it worked using the name of this newspaper. 'The Washington Post?' he said. 'W is 23 in the alphabet. P is 16. Thirty-nine. Angel 39. Which angel? Lucifer was an angel,'" said the report. "Elsewhere at the rally, Eileen McDermott said she’d only started to explore gematria, but she believed there were coded messages in Trump’s speeches, executive orders and musical selections. She said her devotion to Trump became a strain on her relationship with her daughters, but eventually they accepted that if they wanted to have a relationship with her they had to let her be her."

Trump Is Single-Handedly Keeping QAnon Alive
Trump has openly endorsed QAnon over the last few months, breathing new life into the conspiracy movement. Supporters
are thrilled..

When former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election, it seemed like QAnon was finished.

But two years on, QAnon, the conspiracy movement that posits that Trump is waging a secret war against the deep state to unmask a global pedophile ring run by Democrats and Hollywood elite, is still alive, and recently refreshed.

They now have a new leader in Trump: The former president has spent the last few months re-energizing the community and giving them hope once more that all their wildest fantasies will come true.

For years, Trump has hinted at support for the movement, refusing to condemn their violence-inflected conspiracies when asked by the media and boosting QAnon accounts on his Twitter account.

Recently, Trump has been using his rallies, speeches, and posts on his own social media platform, Truth Social, to not just hint at his support for QAnon but to openly endorse it.

This comes just weeks before November’s midterm elections, where a slate of far-right candidates who’ve espoused QAnon conspiracies and boosted stolen-election lies, are seeking election to crucial positions across the country.

Since April, Trump has shared over 130 posts from QAnon-affiliated accounts on Truth Social. In some of these posts, he has shared images of himself wearing a Q lapel pin and explicit QAnon phrases like WWG1WGA (which stands for ‘Where We Go One, We Go All’).

On Tuesday, Trump shared a post featuring a fiery
Q symbol. His team has also shared a campaign-style video featuring a song QAnon followers incorrectly believed was called “WWG1WGA”—and even after Trump’s team knew the QAnon crowd had embraced the song as their own, they continued to use it at rallies.

The former president is indulging in increasingly explicit endorsement of the conspiracy theory, and QAnon followers are now convinced they were right all along.

Casual observers predicted that QAnon, which began on 4chan in late 2017, would fade away after Trump lost the 2020 presidential election and Q fell silent in December 2020. When much of the QAnon community was de-platformed from Twitter and Facebook in the wake of the Capitol riot, the movement was written off as doomed.

But, in the almost two years since Trump’s defeat, QAnon has persisted. Various offshoots, such as the QAnon Queen of Canada cult; the Negative 48 group, who believe Trump is JFK in disguise.

The move to Trump’s Truth Social, as the former president has seemingly embraced the Q universe, should come as no surprise: That’s exactly what the platform was designed to do from the very beginning.

A fake @q account on Truth Social was set up even before Trump’s own account was created, and all the major QAnon influencers were given verified accounts the moment they joined the platform.

“What is happening now with Trump's Truth Social account was inevitable,” Mike Rains, a researcher
who hosts the QAnon-focused podcast Adventures in HellwQrld, told VICE News.

“The people who made Truth Social worked relentlessly to recruit QAnon. Once on the platform, QAnon followers were endlessly going to promote Trump and Trump was going to start reposting their praise of him, which would get the mainstream media to cover his embrace of QAnon and give him attention.”

Just this week, Kash Patel, a Trump official who was chief of staff to the acting secretary of defense during Trump's presidency and who now serves on the board of Truth Social, said the former president was in awe of the research skills of QAnon followers.

“I've seen on Truth Social how good these researchers are, and I kind of wish I’d had some of them when I was doing Russiagate,” Patel said in an interview with a conspiracy channel. “I talk with the president all the time and we're just blown away at the amount of acumen some of these people have.”

“Trump is using his platform as a former president to, at the very least, legitimize QAnon material, if not actively lend some credence to it, which is incredibly dangerous,” Holt said.
"There are still millions of people getting this kind of imagery, watching Trump as he plays footsies in a more apparent and accelerating way with QAnon,
so it's implausible for me to imagine that there aren't people in that crowd that haven't been exposed to QAnon before that are maybe seeing it now because the [ex-]president is sharing it.”

This behavior isn’t new for Trump. When he was active on Twitter with 80 million followers, the former president shared hundreds of tweets from QAnon accounts.
What’s different this time is that the messages and imagery he is sharing are explicitly QAnon-focused, whether that’s a picture of Trump with a Q lapel pin or a video featuring multiple QAnon phrases and logos.

The explicit nature of the content makes it much harder for Trump or his team to claim they simply didn’t know what QAnon is.

Trump may be the most powerful voice in the Republican Party pushing QAnon conspiracies, but he is far from alone.
A coalition of candidates for governor and secretary of state in crucial swing states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada was formed under the guidance of a QAnon influencer known as Juan O’Savin.

And some QAnon-linked candidates have won their primaries, including Mark Finchem, who is running for Arizona’s secretary of state. John Gibbs, who won his primary for a House seat in Michigan, has claimed that Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman participated in Satanic rituals.

It’s unclear why Trump has decided to embrace QAnon so openly now, but the timing is strange,
as the former president faces multiple lawsuits and criminal investigations following the FBI’s search of his Mar-a-Lago home.

“I think he's really feeling like he is actually at some risk, and when you feel like you're at risk and your back is against the wall, you turn to the people who've always been in your corner.”

QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and Conspiracy Theory of Everything, told VICE News. "He doesn't want the fair-weather MAGA people who are willing to walk away from him; he wants the hardcore believers, and that's the Q people.”

Trump’s continued pushing of the conspiracy and his apparent endorsement of its wild fantasies could push his supporters to carry out even more violent acts when their predictions fail to come true.

“There is a feeling in that community that something big is about to happen, but because it's so vague, and because it's just how this movement works, it could be anything,” Rothschild said.

“I think one of the really scary things is that the people who are most prone to potentially committing a violent act on Trump's behalf are getting really excited. And I don't think that's good.”
