Perhaps the following may have something to do with the resurrections of such extreme ideology...... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon Since its emergence in American politics, QAnon has spawned movements around the world. The exact number of QAnon followers is unclear,[3][31] but the group maintains a large online following.[2][3] Following increased scrutiny of the movement and its hashtags, mainstream social media companies such as Twitter[32] and Facebook[33] began taking action to stop the spread of the conspiracy theory. QAnon followers have perpetrated acts of violence on numerous occasions.[34] Members of the movement actively took part in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, during which they supported Donald Trump's campaign and waged information warfare in an attempt to influence voters.[35][36] After Joe Biden won, they were involved in efforts to overturn the results of the election. Several associates of Donald Trump, such as General Michael Flynn[40] and two members of his legal team, Lin Wood[45] and Sidney Powell,[51] have promoted QAnon-derived conspiracy theories. When these tactics failed, Trump supporters – many of them QAnon followers – attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. The Capitol Riot was a watershed moment for QAnon and led to a further, more sustained social media crackdown on the movement and its claims.
