I can’t help but reflect that QAnon convinced the American public that their country was being run by a sophisticated network of elite paedophiles.
Ironically, they also convinced much of America to vote for the only man who could ‘save’ the USA from such depravity: Trump.
It is all staggering.

In military operations, it's typical to see cognitive hybrid war precede kinetic (i.e., violent) operations.
In kinetic operations, often the first objective is to destroy command and control (i.e., information) infrastructure.
This might help illustrate my prior point.
