Hello from the Right Richter quarantine cave, where I'm on the last day of my CPAC self-isolation. More on that below, and hope all of our readers are well!
This week:
'Baby Q' infuriates QAnon old-heads QAnon believers should be living high on the hog these days. The president recently posted a blatantly pro-QAnon meme, and Tom Hanks — the Terminal star who plays an arch-villain role in the QAnon mythos—has come down with the coronavirus.
A month ago, a mysterious young man using the name Austin Steinbart started to make waves in the QAnon community. Steinbart has the confident, dismissive mien of a reality-show villain, and his videos exploring the QAnon world have all the quick-cuts and peppy attitude of a gadget unboxing. He's won plenty of adherents among QAnon conspiracy theorists, who are otherwise used to settling for much lower production values.
The whole QAnon theory that Democrats are running a pedophile-cannibal cabal to destroy the globe is based off of anonymous posts from a mysterious person or group of people named "Q." For the majority of QAnon believers, Q is Ret. Gen. Michael Flynn, or maybe Trump social media director Dan Scavino. In this wacko world, Donald Trump himself bears the moniker "Q+."
All of the hucksters making money off of QAnon aren't thrilled with the prospect of being displaced by a guy who has come out of absolutely nowhere to claim that he's Q. But Steinbart has been talking an incredible level of trash, trying to wrest control of the lucrative QAnon believer demo from the people who have previously controlled them.
HBO Documentary on Right-Wing Media If you're reading Right Richter, you're probably interested in the way that disinformation and conspiracy theories are influencing our politics. If that's the case, I think you'll like After Truth, a documentary premiering on HBO on March 19.
CPAC Coronavirus Civil War The revelation that an attendee at the Conservative Political Action Conference had coronavirus did more than just send me and plenty of other people into self-isolation.
The feud typifies the spat between the GOP personalities and establishment figures, who have been divided over how much to downplay the coronavirus risk as Trump fumbles its containment. But it also reflects a growing split in the larger GOP over how much they should acknowledge that coronavirus is actually spreading across the country, and how much admitting that means criticizing Trump himself.
