Dub,
It depends on what they mean by "hoax". Q certainly hasn't failed to ask a lot of useful questions and to post many interesting hints. This has proven to be one of the best ways to get members of the public to wake up that all is not what it seems.
Okay, he/she/they may not be a member of military intelligence and may not be close to the president but then a lot of published coincidences would have to be explained some other way.
So here we are after the midterms with no other elections on the horizon so Trump and the team no longer have to worry about the Hatch act. (I would never have known about the Hatch act if it weren't for a Q post).
So let's see what happens. Whatever happens I don't think Q will get any recognition for it. The MSM already has that angle covered and will continue to cover it whenever necessary so Q isn't looking for accolades. Q seems to be treating it simply as a battle of good versus evil and corruption. I'll go along with that .
