I agree, Dan, and having talked to Kent he pretty much always was clear that he was looking out for us non-believers. I just find it interesting how Kent introduced me to Alex Jones (who if I recall Kent had been in personal contact with on at least a few occasions) and David Icke and he was pretty much mocked by the Republican leaning crew here (as well as occasionally clashing with others including I think, you) and now Jones and Icke are right wing icons. Trump expressed his love and admiration for Jones over and over.

I guess what I would have liked to see was how Kent would have taken all this mayhem, Q, Jones becoming a hero to right wing nuts, and of course what he would have said about Covid-19. The Q cult is now all about promoting that Covid-19 is fake, the vaccines to help people are really to kill them and/or turn them into Covid super spreaders, and that this is all a giant conspiracy to depopulate the planet. 

Basically, I see that side of things as something Kent probably would have danced to. So, would he have followed the crowd down the Q rabbit hole? I think maybe he  would. Maybe he would have felt the shape shifters invented the virus...honestly hard to say. 

The thing is I don't think any of these conspiracy theories, no matter how insane, ever really go away for a certain segment of the public. They are all in on them. We still have people that think the moon landings were faked.
