Q went away except for a few random posts around December or January 2020-2021 (can’t recall). A documentary series on HBO seemed to point to Ron Watkins as likely Q. He ran for some office and did very poorly. Q wasn’t needed anymore, but the destruction to families remained in its wake.

QAA podcast continues to study bizarre right-wing conspiratorial thinking (it’s quite entertaining and usually pretty funny when not saddening). There was a book published recently about specific case studies of people whose lives were destroyed by the movement and where they are now, The Quiet Damage, by Jesselyn Cook. There are other books on the subject, including Trust the Plan, by Will Sommer.

Our society will continue experiencing real-world harm because of the radicalization of Q supporters for years, I’m sure.
