How QAnon Dad Matthew Taylor Coleman's Conspiracy Theory Obsession Began

perezhilton.com:

The case of Matthew Taylor Coleman needs to be studied for years. It’s both the clearest and most shocking example of how internet conspiracy theories can twist a person’s mind — in this case, far enough for a father to do the unthinkable.

For those who missed the story somehow, the surf instructor was arrested last year on charges of murder. He is accused of kidnapping his own children, a 2-year-old son and a 10-month-old daughter, from his wife’s care, driving them to Mexico, and murdering them with a speargun.

After his arrest, the FBI revealed in their report what Coleman had told them in their interview: that he believed the children had inherited “serpent DNA” from their mother and were going to turn into monsters — and that killing them was “the only course of action that would save the world.” All of this came from the rabbit hole of QAnon conspiracy theories.

Among other things, the Q crowd believe there’s a giant global cabal of demon-worshipping, cannibalistic child molesters who control the government and the mainstream media — hence why no one ever sees any evidence of them. Donald Trump, whom they believe is secretly still president, is their hero.
