It All Started with an Anime Imageboard

Tweet

I was doing some research into the Qanon organization. Now Qanon is the organization that had members in on the Jan.6 insurrection. Its beginnings were pretty mysterious and began with a message on 4chan. 4chan is the online imageboard that was originally used to share anime images. It was actually started by a young teen in 2003 sharing a wide variety of topics. So innocent, right? It has since been associated with neo nazi, Holocaust deniers, and the Red-Brown coalition. (The Red-Brown coalition is an organization that is said to be the last piece that needs to fall for the United States to descend into fascist rule.) Trump is a hero in the eyes of Qanon.(More on them later) Trump is messaging online with Qanon as recently as the last few weeks. He seems to turn to them when he is feeling stressed. Now, why would a man who says he wants to make America better be affiliated with an organization like this? Scary stuff boys and girls.
