    Jeet Heer Retweeted Mickey Kaus

    I feel like this is missing the point of the Yglesias post, which is that QAnon is not a conspiracy theory (like, say, the idea the CIA killed JFK) which is widely held but rather a more intense eliminationist delusion. So having 6.8% support is very dangerous.https://twitter.com/kausmickey/status/1357739097712775170 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Mickey Kaus @kausmickey
    .@mattyglesias in passing explains how the left shut down completely appropriate Epstein conspiracy talk in its ranks in the days after his death. Also. not really many believers in Q Anon--6.8% (sorry MSM) https://www.slowboring.com/p/qanon-is-not-a-conspiracy-theory?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoyMzU1NTY2LCJwb3N0X2lkIjozMjEzMjY2OCwiXyI6IklTSmVnIiwiaWF0IjoxNjEyNTQ0OTI4LCJleHAiOjE2MTI1NDg1MjgsImlzcyI6InB1Yi0xNTkxODUiLCJzdWIiOiJwb3N0LXJlYWN0aW9uIn0.LWLt2GDOwhjBv_cZ9CsyPO3MotcGqi8RL-IMKbLfNxE …

        Describing people who believe the CIA had something to do with JFK’s assassination as “eliminationists” seems wrong, almost never have I encountered an attempt to say the nation would be “pure” absent the dealings of the CIA.

        It’s hilarious. It seems like nobody gave any thought to Mickey for years. All of a sudden his stock in the attention economy appears to be rising again.

        Mickey's stock in the attention economy rises and falls in synch with deficit hawkery.
