    Michigan QAnon follower shoots wife, daughter

    If I wanted to draw a line, I'd say everyone who knows what WWG1WGA means and includes themselves in it is part of the QAnon movement. Trump shared a picture of himself wearing a Q lapel pin, overlaid with the QAnon phrases “The Storm is Coming” and “WWG1WGA,” on his Truth Social account on...

    ah, i was looking at the other quote note that this one has the qualifier "relatives with guns who are like this", not, as you wrote, "anyone who has shared a Qanon conspiracy theory".

    “He became a different person after 2020 when Trump lost,” she said. She says her father started getting more agitated at normal things and often found a way to bring up conspiracy theories about vaccines, 5G and electromagnetic fields. He turned to extremism – like QAnon, a political...

    The daughter was not present at the shooting, but she witnessed her father's mental health decline. “He had a sense of reality,” Rebecca Lanis said. “But then after 2020, when Trump lost, he started going down these crazy rabbit holes.” The pandemic may have been a contributary cause, it has...
