I don't think there are "wisps of truth" in the following QAnon beliefs:

• Democrats are Satan worshipers
• Democrats are cannibals
• Donald trump is fighting a global cabal of sex traffickers
• California wild fires are caused by Jewish space lasers
• Angela Merkel is Hitler's granddaughter
• Obama, Clinton and Soros are planning a coup against Trump

And it goes on and on. Giving these dangerous and fictitious beliefs any credibility is absurd. I mean, just the Jewish space laser one alone is so full of anti-Semitism it should discount the entire belief structure for any rational non-racist person. If it doesn't alienate you that's an absolute issue that requires some self reflection.

Look, with respect to the bolded part above, I'm not saying you're a satanic, canibal, sex trafficing, coup planning, space laser engineer, whos last name is ....Itler...., yeah, "Itler", no "H" at all...but that is the kind of thing one would say.
