It looks like the "Daily Beast" has been following this dangerous group.

...Steinbart’s arrest (click here) marks just the latest time a QAnon believer has been charged with a crime. Two others have been charged with murder, including one accused of murdering the head of the Gambino crime family. The conspiracy theory has also surfaced in two child kidnapping plots, and a 2018 terrorist incident near the Hoover Dam....
The "Deep State" is the only excuse the group has to justify its past and current legal status. It is so difficult to believe a president of the USA would indulge a group of criminals. This is his base. Trump is more than an extremist, he is a danger to this country. He probably will sign pardons to all the members of Qanon now in prison and jail should he be re-elected.
In days gone by in the USA, in the 1980s, these groups existed as terrorist groups. The one group that comes to mind is "The United Freedom Front." These were domestic terrorists (click here). United Freedom Front members, one being Thomas Manning (click here) assassinated State Police Officer Philip Lamonaco on Interstate 80 in New Jersey.
The groups of those days blamed the "Deep State" then, too. They (click here) didn't call it that, but, basically, it amounted to that. A famous person named Patty Hearst was kidnapped from her family and brainwashed about the evil intent of the government. She eventually would be arrested and returned to her family. That is the sort of thing that reminds me of Qanon.
Basically, it is a group of people that have attached themselves to an American billionaire that is not above corruption. Trump is a very corrupt person and very corruptible. He and his family pursue all these peripheral groups and FAD interests to bring them on as their base. That dynamic is wrong and quite possibly criminal when considering who these people are regardless of the innocent Americans captured/kidnapped through media corruption by people like David Pecker.
There is an entire segment of the USA population that completely rejects what is now known as "Mainstream Media." Those people, in my opinion, have been captured as hostages for their votes. They do not have even "low information" to formulate their votes, they have no information except for the entertainment industry that brings them false ideas about life. I think the lack of information has placed poor or low-income white men at risk for this level of exploitation.
It is definitely an exploitation of unwitting Americans. An example of that is Cesar Sayoc. He bought it all. The lies, the hypermasculine ideology about fighting against the Deep State, and the violence. Trump comes across as a real person that can be counted on to change the reality of the impoverished. Here is a billionaire that has come to the hard-working people as a savior to their own reality.
I think Qanon is a dangerous domestic terrorist group seeking to control outcomes of their agenda and members. Domestic terrorists is more than bombs. It is also about dismantling the USA democracy through cyber threats instilling fear and isolating people into a false reality.
Is there any doubt that African American men have been and are at risk for police brutality? Why is Trump denying that reality? Political manipulation of the truth for his own benefit, that's why. Michael Brown's heinous death often plays in my heart. As far as I am concerned Trump is a member of Qanon.
There is only one reason to isolate, lie, and deceive Americans and that is to divide the country and cause dangerous confrontation between the people. Trump is the ringmaster of this violent circus.
