Hollywood is infamous for misunderstanding psychology. At best, Hollywood has outdated notions of psychology (favoring long outdated ideas like Freud, because such ideas are exciting). Hollywood sells movies, not understanding.

What we're discovering today is that there's a "pathway to radicalization". People are NOT born radical, they realign themselves as radical over time.

Yes, so how is giving internet trash cans like QAnon huge amounts of exposure and thus free advertisement supposed to help?

With QAnon politicians reaching mainstream status (Jo Rae Perkins), we're long past that point. QAnon is reaching mainstream, the question is what do we do about indicating that its message should not be tolerated.
