Can someone explain how these are related?

I'm probably skipping some steps, but lowtax banning hentai drove the weebs to 4chan, and 8chan. 8chan was the home for all the "Q" posts that started Qanon which riled up the Republican base and led to the Jan 6 insurrection

AFAIK Qanon started on 4chan, but was forced out. I guess it was too crazy even for them

Yes that's my understanding as well
