Tried something a little different today in Garbage Day.

I documented how a 1.6-million follower boomer meme page called Giggle Palooza went from Minion memes about coffee to full on QAnon over the course of lockdown last year.

Giggle Palooza's wall, as of last Spring, was nothing but memes like these.

Like your most basic grandparent-friendly internet content.

The page has always had a conservative bent to it, but it was extremely standard Republican stuff.

All of that changed, from what I can tell, last April. Giggle Palooza became extremely anti-mask.

The Grandma memes with Garfield in them started to disappear and the page started to share Ben Shapiro posts, Dan Bongino clips, and OAN interviews.

By May, the owner of Giggle Palooza posted a photo of himself where a QAnon shirt.

By October, the page went full mask off QAnon and has continued posting insanely viral radicalized content.

Last week, it was briefly taken offline after it shared a video warning people that Trump would declare martial law next week.

This page has 1.6 MILLION followers.
