Today, Trump started in on leveraging the QAnon pedophile angle:

    The tweet Trump shared reads, "We can beat them at their game .. #PedoBiden" and includes a gif of Biden leaning in to whisper into an adult woman's ear with his hands resting on her shoulders.

There is no question in my mind that QAnon is now one of the primary vectors used by Russian (and likely other) state-sponsored actors to spread disinformation in the hopes of undermining trust in our institutions. We already knew that the Trump admin suppressed reports that Russia's disinformation campaign aligns eerily closely to Trump's own messaging. Case #3920 in a pattern of Trump et al. expecting to never be held accountable. He has no intention of leaving the White House, representative democracy be damned.

Sidenote: hey mk, would you prefer if we wrote it like "QA---" or whatever, to avoid potential influxes of unwanted idiots? I know of another website that does this. At least, I think that's why they do it.
