A sign at recent event for President Trump contained a simple message: "We are Q."
What does it mean?
The "Q" in question is a reference to QAnon, a wide-ranging conspiracy theory that covers everything from the Kennedy assassination to the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Here's what you need to know:
What is QAnon?
In October 2017, an anonymous person who goes by the name "Q" began posting messages on underground message boards. The person, "Q", referenced high-level government security clearance and claimed to be revealing top-secret information via clues, known as "Breadcrumbs." More than 1,800 messages have been posted to date. Daily Beast posted one of the "crumbs" from June:
Think SC vote to confirm (coming). (Note: SC is in reference to Supreme Court, No Name is Sen. John McCain).
No Name action.
Every dog has its day.
Enjoy the show.
Q
And Anon?
Anon became the name given to the nameless followers of "Q," this "QAnon." In April, QAnon followers marched in Washington, D.C. demanding transparency from the Justice Department. "Q" shirts and signs began popping up, including a billboard in Georgia.
The basic premise
The premise isn't necessarily new: The world, according to Q" is run by a small criminal group of elite people, including bankers, deep-state operatives and pedophile rings. Oh, and death squads operating on the orders of Hillary Clinton. Trump, the theories claim, is working to shut down the conspiracies and will arrest Hillary Clinton, her husband, former president Bill Clinton, and former president Barack Obama, housing them at Cuba's Guantanamo Bay. This mass arrest is called "The Storm" by Q followers.
The theory claims the investigation is being led by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller, who is using a cover of his ongoing probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Q's followers believe he's a high-placed administration official who is "in the know" and therefore, his cryptic information is reliable.

Q slogan
QAnon's slogan is "Where we go one, we go all." You can even get your own t-shirt featuring the message.
Why does it all matter?
It wouldn't, except for people seem to believe some of Q's claims. They show up with signs and shirts at Trump rallies and other event, sparking even more interest in the movement.
There have been incidents of criminal actions related to QAnon as well.
Taking aim at Q
The hacking group Anonymous has vowed to expose people behind QAnon.
In a video posted to Twitter, Anonymous warned Q it would "not sit idly by while you take advantage of the misinformed and poorly educated."
