"... QAnon’s retreat from the Epstein story is striking because there remain real questions about Mr. Epstein that could make for a rich vein of new theorizing. How exactly did Mr. Epstein get so rich? Why were so many wealthy, powerful men friends with him? Why did he move so easily through the global financial system?
"But for most QAnon believers the priority is protecting Mr. Trump at all costs. Even if it means no longer asking questions. Even if it means letting the moment they finally got something right pass them by. Even if it means continuing to thirst for a storm that will never come..." -- Will Sommer, NYT, on the strange birds of the conspiratorial QAnon cult and why that particular corner of the MAGAt petri dish is notably quiet as more and more evidence emerges of the Malignant Fascist's involvement with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The "part they got right," Sommer suggests, is the belief that "the elites" didn't care about the average person's struggles and could get away with anything. Oh, the irony and the shame that most still believe the MF is the one elitist who's still fighting for them.
