Freedom Fest and the Death of the QAnon/Trump Movement
from Gutsy | The Tim Dillon Show #315 · #315

Tim describes the dwindling, sad Freedom Fest crowd still chasing JFK Jr. conspiracy theories in a Kentucky field, comparing them to drug addicts and burnt-out believers who never got the memo the movement is over.
- Tim describes the Trump/QAnon scam ending exactly as it started—in a field in northern Kentucky with dwindling crowds.
- The people still showing up are lost and need something to believe in, mixing reiki and yoga with QAnon conspiracies.
- Tim argues most of these people could be helped by taking up a simple hobby like tennis or crocheting instead.
- QAnon believers are still out there despite nothing they predicted ever coming true, comparing them to drug addicts at Christmas.
- The original perpetrators of the scam have moved on to new scams, abandoning their followers in the field.
- Tim compares the QAnon crowd to his experience cold-calling for mortgages in 2009 when the market had already died.
- The gathering resembles a street fair, except vendors are selling JFK Jr. shirts instead of sausage and peppers.
- The Gathering of the Juggalos is far more hopeful and positive as a subculture than the QAnon movement.
