A former QAnon believer answers all your questions about how the cult really works and how he got himself out.

The writer's Reddit handle is "diceblue," but for simplicity's sake we'll call them "DB" DB says overconfidence and arrogance play a big role in people staying in the cult.

DB shared that it was hard to admit that they'd been played by a baseless conspiracy theory.

When they left QAnon a couple of years ago they were "certain it would all be over soon" "It was massively humbling to realize I'd been a sucker," they said.

DB said that arguing with a QAnan adherent, especially online, is a waste of time.
