Justin Mohn , 32 , held up a severed head in a YouTube video and called for the execution of federal government employees.
Frida Ghitis: There's no evidence Mohn had any connection to QAnon or other conspiracy theories.
She says labeling everything that reeks of right-wing brain rot as “QAnon-affiliated’s” risks obscuring just how much extremist rhetoric is now coming from much more mainstream sources.
The ideas Q promoted in the movement’s heyday have themselves become standard Republican beliefs.
As the movement itself lost power, followers defected, and others were drawn to other channels for their disaffection.
Mohn seemed to be influenced by some of the ideas behind the Great Replacement theory, a white nationalist conspiracy theory.
