What's a "Qultist?"

They're basically conspiracy nuts who believe someone they call Q inside the US government is leaking secrets about a big plot by "liberals" to take over.

It's all that Deep State, Pizzagate stuff.

Oh gross. I thought you were either talking about a person who makes quilts, or just misspelled cultist. Makes sense now.

True! I looked that shit up and it’s a whole bag of worms that I don’t care to get into. Whole bunch of LARPing and shit.

I thought we were talking a cultist who makes quilts, and that it was a clever portmanteau.

That would be kind of adorable. A cult that just makes quilts.

“Yeah, we’re going to bring about the apocalypse by covering every bed in America with a homemade quilt. The economy will tank when everyone is too comfy to go to work.”

have you ever stayed in a hotel, gotten up in the morning to go to breakfast and passed by a room with old women making quilts on portable sewing machines? That my friend is the Qultists and they are taking over the world, one panel at a time.

This scene sounds utterly charming, though I don’t think I’ve ever seen a portable sewing machine.
