## What Jamie wrote

QAnon seems to have broken through to the larger mass audience press recently. Activity around it has been percolating for a long time. I found this article interesting because it was more of a personal level take on it. After reading this, it sure seems that QAnon exhibits many of the same characteristics as cults have for years.
