Wave of QAnon-based terror this weekend. A Trump fan in a clown wig obsessed with the end times threatened to kill all Democrats in a DQ on Saturday.

Cremating a conspiracy.
My latest for @dailydot: why did so many people believe the rumor that Ivana Trump had been cremated? And where did it come from? https://t.co/NoXik6qm0f

The panic goes on and on.
It will shock you to learn that hours after publishing a story about a new wave of satanic panic, my inbox is full of randos calling me a … satanic pedophile. https://t.co/SEYSwbZjjM
