My Nazi TBM ExMIL is a QAnon Conspiracy subscriber and given the fact that no demographic is more Red than MORmONs, I wonder how wide spread this phenomenon is amongst MORmONs.
MORmON Rep. Rob Bishop among few to vote against resolution condemning QAnon conspiracy.

https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2020/08/25/katelyn-beaty-qanon-is/"Since its inception in 2017 QAnon has quickly metastasized, infiltrating American politics, internet culture and now -- religion.
During the pandemic, QAnon-related content has exploded online, growing nearly 175% on Facebook and nearly 63% on Twitter, according a British think tank.
In QAnon, some observers see a mass delusion, others see a political cult, and still others claim to see the sprouts of a new faith.
According to the religious view of QAnon, Q is a postmodern prophet, "Q drops" (aka his messages) are sacred texts and Trump is a messianic figure who will conjure "The Storm," an apocalyptic revelation exposing evildoers."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1se6POdUcWMSam Harris speaks with Tristan Harris about the ways in which social media is fracturing society.
Called the “closest thing Silicon Valley has to a conscience,” by The Atlantic magazine, Tristan Harris spent three years as a Google Design Ethicist developing a framework for how technology should “ethically” steer the thoughts and actions of billions of people from screens. He is now co-founder & president of the Center for Humane Technology, whose mission is to reverse ‘human downgrading’ and re-align technology with humanity. Additionally, he is co-host of the Center for Humane Technology's Your Undivided Attention podcast with co-founder Aza Raskin. He also recently appeared as a central figure in the recently released Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma.
