I spoke with Dr. Mia Bloom to better understand QAnon. This includes how the organization works, its goals/motivations, and in particular, why QAnon is separating so many families and loved ones.
Today, during the release of this episode, Dr. Bloom's book "Pastels and Pedophiles: Inside the Mind of Qanon," is being released. See the link below.
