He dedicated years of his life to QAnon. One day made him question it all.
QAnon led Justin to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. What he saw that day would start leading him away from the conspiracy movement.
Hasnain says:
“A few Trump supporters pleaded with the crowd to stop pushing and were quickly overruled. The throng began to push forward. A few in the crowd managed to wrestle away parts of the gate from police, and Trump supporters filed up the stairs. At the top, some draped the Capitol steps with an oversized flag that read, “Trump.”
The mob, the flag, the violence. Justin thought: It didn’t feel right.
“It got me,” he later said. “I was supposed to be a part of a movement, but did I just get duped?’””
