I feel very similar to you. The one thing I would say about whether this is a pied piper is that it truly has woken thousands of people up and galvanized them to get involved in getting the nation back on track in a way I've never seen before -- asking questions, educating themselves, pushing back against the merchandizing of moral depravity, etc. I have one family member who stopped drinking and started a new business and another who lost 40 pounds and started seriously paying attention to what's being done to the food supply as a result of Trump and Q.  Hope galvanizes people to stand up and fight for what they want, to consider new possibilities, and most of all, to take risks that didn't seem worth it before. They want you to believe it's just a mind-numbing drug. If that were the case, the MSM wouldn't be trying so hard to trash it. It's much more dangerous than that.
