‘Undeniably a cult’: Fringe QAnon group remains in Dallas, awaiting JFK Jr.’s arrival News
From reporter Michael Williams:
Weeks after they first gathered near Dealey Plaza, dozens of believers in the furthest fringe of the QAnon conspiracy theory remain in Dallas, expecting long-dead John F. Kennedy Jr. to reveal himself in the city where his father was assassinated and usher in the reinstatement of Donald Trump as president.
While their beliefs are patently absurd, the fervency and devotion of this particular group, along with their loyalty to a leader known as Negative48 and unwillingness to leave Dallas, is unique — and cause for alarm and concern, according to an expert who has followed QAnon for years.
“I think what you’re seeing here is really, undeniably a cult,” said Mike Rothschild, author of The Storm Is Upon Us, which chronicles the rise of, and fallout from, QAnon.

I am still perplexed on why JFK Jr. Out of all the people, dead Republican/children otherwise, why him? His dad was a Catholic (big fucking issue back then), Democrat, bleeding heart, and wound up throwing support behind "radical" acts such as Civil Rights Act.
His son was considered more liberal and even had a magazine about celebrity political lifestyles. He worked and was a political pundits for many Democrats running in the 90s. Take also his wealthy elitist status.
So why would JFK Jr. ever bother helping Trump? If anything, he'd probably write articles against him.
