'A supporter of QAnon, the collective delusion that ridiculously claims President Donald Trump is fighting a satanic cabal of elites who abuse children, has been elected to Congress for the first time.

It is hard to overstate this moment. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s election in Georgia could help legitimize a dangerous mass delusion that has festered in the Trump era, where baseless conspiracy theories embraced by the White House were laundered into the American consciousness by willing social media platforms. There have been real-world consequences. QAnon believers have engaged in an armed standoff with federal officials at the Hoover Dam. They’ve tried to hijack legitimate efforts to fight child sex trafficking. They have sent death threats to a Democratic member of Congress. Someone who believed in its precursor, Pizzagate, opened fire in a popular DC pizza parlor, saying he was looking to free children who have been sexually abused. It has infected the minds of boomers and young students alike.
...
There’s hardly a racist, xenophobic, or anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that Greene hasn’t attached herself to in the last few years. In addition to sharing QAnon posts and theories, she has referred to the elections of Reps. Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and other Democrats in 2018 as “an Islamic invasion of our government” and called Jewish philanthropist George Soros a “Nazi” in videos reported by Politico earlier this year. She’s suggested in blog posts that Hillary Clinton is a serial killer. She has also spread conspiracy theories about 9/11 and the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, and falsely said that former president Barack Obama is Muslim.'
