Il y a bien sûr d'abord l'idée d'un réseau pédocriminel sataniste qui œuvrerait à détruire les États-Unis. Mais le QAnon est un mouvement totalement protéiforme qui parle à la fois de pédocriminalité, des Illuminati, des reptiliens, de vaccins ou de l'assassinat de Kennedy : en gros, il peut agréger l'ensemble des théories complotistes et conspirationnistes qui existaient déjà tout en en créant de nouvelles et en créant de nouveaux liens entre elles. 1, record 1, French, - QAnon
