He truly was a little monster. (Image courtesy of Stephen Ross) This is a tough story to digest — I think QAnon and all the other conspiracy theories that are absorbing the U.S.
and the world are massive threats to safety and to the very fabric of civilization, and while Stephen Ross has escaped the demented thinking of QAnon, that he went there so fully in the first place leaves me with more fear than hope.
Ross was a teenage little monster devoted to Lady Gaga, and graduated 12th in his high school class of 400. Still, a first boyfriend who was obsessed with InfoWars and a second who was Evangelical (the kids are not all right, guys) pushed him toward Pizzagate and Sandy Hook conspiracies, and ultimately into QAnon.
