CNN’s Gary Tuchman interviewed Trump supporters outside the president’s rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania who were wearing t-shirts in support of “Q”, standing for “QAnon.” Tuchman wanted to see if those supporting ‘QAnon’, which has had increasing visibility at recent Trump rallies, even knew what it is.
The Guardian explains: ‘Not even really coherent enough to be called a “conspiracy theory”, QAnon is a kind of interactive fan fiction for the far right in which Trump is a heroic figure arrayed against Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and the “deep state”, which includes all the recent past presidents, who are said to have hatched a criminal plot to start wars and traffic drugs and humans for money. Updates in the story happen when an anonymous figure calling itself Q leaves “crumbs” online for fans to decode.’
