2. A key takeaway: the former Hillary supporter

One of the interviewed said his mother was a Hillary supporter in 2016 but now she's in the thrall of the Q scam. This is why Repubs won't push back on this: it means votes. They have never missed an opportunity to harness delusion to win votes. It's never really been the party of law and order, or economic growth, or national security; Democratic administrations have consistently surpassed Republican ones in these areas. Yet they've created a mythic universe in which they are better at all three, and Q fits smoothly onto that delusional continuum.
