A popular TikTok user saw one of his videos go viral after he decided to show the world what your phone starts to look like when you have a close family member who has fallen down the endless rabbit hole that is QAnon and anti-vaxxer conspiracy theories. The user, whose TikTok name is “macdaddy,” is unfortunate enough to have a mother who is ensnared in these online communities where people come up with gems like “Hillary Clinton eats babies” and “Donald Trump will save democracy.”

Texts from this young man’s mother include commands to not wear face masks or get vaccinated against or even tested for COVID-19, claiming that somehow the nasal test shoves a vaccine up your nose, somehow, for some reason.

Other highlights include a photo of some random Petri dish full of nastiness that falsely claims to have been the result of a swab from a face mask worn for 20 minutes and that wearing a mask makes you breathe all that in, plus a quick test telling him not to drink tap water. No word on what macdaddy’s mom thinks is in tap water or whether or not she thinks it’s turning the frogs gay.
He saves the best for last, however, showing an image of an array of popular snack foods, sodas, and sports drinks as well as young people drinking them with a caption that is cut off at the bottom but definitely seems to be saying that all of these items contains a flavor enhancer made from aborted fetal tissue cells. You know, the same ones they claimed are in the COVID-19 vaccines in spite of the fact that they 100 percent are not.
“If only sheeple knew,” the caption at the top reads.
The video has gained over 3.6 million views since being posted in early October, with an alarming number of commenters sharing their own horror stories of having parents who believe in QAnon and anti-vaxxer fantasy tales.
“My mom said Facebook was down today so they could ‘destroy evidence,’” lamented one woman.
“It’s so sad how quickly it consumes every bit of their personality,” wrote another commenter, “they’re just gone, every topic is a conspiracy or a false statistic.”

Though QAnon grew out of what is basically a worship of Donald Trump as a savior figure for America, his virtual disappearance from the public view does not seem to have put a damper on their enthusiasm for coming up with the wildest conspiracy theories of our time. In addition to fetal cells in your Doritos, they have recently dreamed up the idea that John F. Kennedy Jr., who died in a plane crash in 1999, would show up in Dealey Plaza before midnight on Tuesday to reinstate Trump as president.
Dealey Plaza is famous for being the spot where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. To almost nobody’s surprise, the former president’s son did not come back from the dead yesterday and several hundred QAnon believers were again left to look like saps who will believe anything that comes out of their ugly internet forums.
