If you get one of these "blackout" QAnon texts, this might be a good time to plant a flag with your friend or family member.

If there's no blackout in the next week, maybe the place they get their news from is bad?

Not a bad time to open up a dialogue. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/qanon-falsehoods-move-text-message-chains-n1253962

Since the deplatforming, QAnon viral texts have taken off, including a cheapfake that features a series of mashed-up speeches by Trump, realigned to lead the viewer to falsely believe the president is calling for an uprising on Jan. 20. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/qanon-falsehoods-move-text-message-chains-n1253962

The weird thing about this story is the variation. I've seen so many concerned parents, siblings, friends, all taking the text message and adding their own spin to this QAnon conspiracy theory.

They're sincerely worried about a blackout because of one vague text message.
