A QAnon believer is running for Congress and is currently unopposed in his Republican primary via thedailybeast
Believers in the pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theory are fond of telling each other to “Trust the Plan”—to remain firm in the belief that Donald Trump and the mysterious forces behind QAnon will, at any moment, defeat the deep-state operatives and Pizzagate-style pedophiles that secretly run the world.
Lusk told The Daily Beast that he’s not a “brainwashed cult member.” Still, he thinks the online posts that have made up QAnon since October 2017 are a “legitimate something.” He said he treats posts from “Q,” the person or group of people behind QAnon, like a news source similar to CNN or Fox News. Still, the fact that he’s even running for a seat in Congress is the latest sign of the roots that the Q conspiracy has taken in modern political culture.
And yet, QAnon followers have had brushes with power. A major QAnon promoter posed with Trump for a White House photo last year, and the conspiracy theory has been promoted by both a state representative in South Carolina and a city councilmember in California.
