The Wave referred to here is an “after school special” produced by Norman Lear and aired in the early 1980s. The Wave was based on a book and a real high school classroom experiment that took place in California in 1967. Ron Jones, a history teacher, ran the experiment to help students grasp how German people during WW2 claimed to not know that death camps were exterminating around 10,000,000 people, most of whom were Jews. The experiment lasted 2 weeks, half the school joined and it began causing an us versus them situation that got out of control. Fights broke out. To view the film, Google “The Wave after school special 1967 classroom experiment”.
I offer this as a way to answer the question How did QAnon arise to help create an insurrection, or as cynics called it, a “stupid coup,” to follow the delusion that they were going to take back the country from deep state control.
