Great question and thanks for responding! There seems to definitely be a performative element to QAnon. They work on very specific ideological reference points and have fostered what many regard as a “digital cult”. Hmm, your comment has made me want to think about this a bit more…maybe for a future essay!
I know this isn’t quite where you were going with this, but a though I had while reading it was, “Is QAnon then best understood as performance art?”

I look forward to reading it if the thoughts come to you :)
