    At least 17% as of 2022 so it’s probably more by now.

    Chris Hedges talks a lot about this, how material conditions continue to degrade people turn to magical thinking.

      Yeah but most Qanon people aren’t fully into all this alien invasion crap, they just believe Hollywood is full of pedophiles (correct) and Trump is going to save the children from migrant hordes of satanic criminals (incorrect). I wanna know how many true freaks that believe in reptilian aliens there are.

        Hm. I don’t know. I just assumed they were into the outlandish shit too like alieums and time travel and stuff.

          I think that given enough time, someone who gets into Qanon and stays in whatever community is beaming that garbage into their heads will slowly radicalize and start believing in that stuff. But there’s kind of a balance to it, where some people who are fully into it stop believing as time goes on and nothing happens.
