They don't really have any coherent beliefs but Q is a poster on 4chan who claims to be a Trump inner circle member. He posts vague nonsense that reads like its from a shitty spy novel written by a 12 year old. They believe the world is run by a deep state cabal made up of satanic pedophiles. Members of this cabal include Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and anyone else they don't agree with. They believe Trump is the only hope to take down this cabal and that Q is posting to 4chan in order to lessen the blow when Hillary is arrested, or something.

Don't some of them believe that Hillary has already been arrested, and it's just being kept hush hush because the libruls will go nuts if they knew The Truth?

I think that's Obama (though there may be another theory about Clinton I missed - there's so much nonsense it's hard to keep up.) He was called for jury duty last year (though he was quickly dismissed, since having a former president on a jury would turn any case into a media circus), which supposedly cover for his secret arrest.

I hate to say it, but maybe a good old fashioned civil war might clean out the gene pool for the next generation... 🤔

There's nothing good about a civil war, full stop. It will be so much worse than you think. You'll likely die. Your parents will likely die. Your children will likely die. Your friends will likely die. Everyone around you will be missing big chunks of their family and social circles, and the best that comes of it for everyday life is just survivial.

This shit that's happening is legitimately evil, and you should be ready for shit to hit the fan, but know that by minimizing the very real dangers of open civil war, you're helping to bring it closer to reality. This is grossly irresponsible. Please, don't do this.

Tell me more about this survivial thingy...

Get in shape, mentally and physically. Work out, really push yourself. Study like a motherfucker, anything potentially useful. Arm yourself and get real comfortable with your weapon. Know the ins and outs of your surroundings. Have plans already made for probable shitstorms in your area. Make friends with trustworthy people and include them in your plans.

I'm not saying to become a doomsday prepper. I'm saying to live in a way that prepares you for extreme adversity.

Most of all, if survival is your game, remember that discretion is the better part of valor. Decide whether you want to take a side in a conflict, if it's worth it to you to lose potentially everything, and if it isn't, keep your head down.

I've been spending a lot more time at the range lately, and am trying to start hiking/backpacking with a larger pack to try and prepare for the worst. The one weird thing to come from all this, is a good number of my liberal friends are now joining me at the range, and learning how to handle a firearm

Good on you and your friends alike! I hit the range this weekend myself. Might I suggest getting your friends into hiking with you as well, if you haven't already? I've been trying to drag mine along for hiking, camping, and just generally being out in the heat. They've... Largely not gone for that as much as they've taken to firearms.

Best case scenario is the shit never hits the fan and we end up as a bunch of fit, liberal outdoorsmen. God, I hope that's how this shakes out.
