The Q drops gave us a rational framework to discuss a mostly unseen war between the Deep State and Hidden Light. The main point was to recognise it as warfare, not just crime and corruption. This meant continuity of government, EOs, PEADs, etc. - not legislative bills, civilian trials, or even winning elections.
You can lead a human to truth but you can't make him think. Q gave us a peck under the tent to think what is in our faces!
