Unfortunately the votes of terminally online conspiracy theorists have the same weight as the rest of ours, which can interact with the real world.

Edit: actually, I phrased this poorly in reflection. It is good that everyone gets a vote, even people I disagree with. The unfortunate thing is the influence of online weirdness on people.

They are an extreme minority. In the real world most people have no idea what QAnon is outside of maybe a weird thing they saw on the news and laughed at.
I don’t think this is true, but I see how either of us could possibly prove it either way.
You'd be surprised. Venture outside of a population center and into the heartland.
