    The biggest difference is qanon actually believed that politicians running a pedophile ring was a bad thing. They were just misinformed as to who was running it.

    They’re the part of maga that bailed when the first Trump/Epstein files dropped.

        The ironic thing is that the Q they were all listening to originally was likely Epstein himself bragging on 4chan.

      This isn’t specifically about qanon and/or MAGA, but there was definitely a subset of conspiracy theorists who saw Epstein revelations and asked what it was a distraction from. It’s pretty crazy to me that they got their holy grail and then decided to doubt it. (Again, not a universal thing.)
