I'd say a lot of these 40 yo on Facebook actually got on reddit during the QAnon nonsense.
Wasn't r/the_Donald before Qanon?
There was ridiculous Q shit on reddit before Qanon became popular. In fact, that’s the first place I ever heard of it. I came upon a sub called, I think, cbts_radio (for “calm before the storm”) and was just like, what the fuck is this? It was a sub for off-topic casual discussion split off from the original cbts sub, and it was filled with the most ridiculous anti-Democrat/Hillary Clinton screechy conservative bullshit I’d ever seen. Qanon didn’t enter the public awareness for another couple of years after that.
Seems qanon is from 2017 and the_donald from 2015.
I'm not American so not sure about qanon.
