Is Q Anon becoming a part of the GOP mainstream?

1/3rd of Republicans believe this conspiracy theory. That's pretty shocking. May be high enough to say mainstream with supporters.

A few QAnon believers just won primaries in red districts, so we'll likely have some in Congress, though it's not the first or last time crackpots will be there. So I'd say no if that's the metric.

I imagine it's going to be more pervasive at the local level. Local level does account for far more offices and sway over daily life. Harder to quantify though.

If I knew more about what Q-anon said I could answer this better but locally the republicans here are much more likely to believe a conspiracy than the democrats (talking about voters) but the elected officials don't ever say too much about it...at least publicly.
