The Origins of QAnon
QAnon probably started off with something called a LARP, which stands for live action roleplay. The first post that set QAnon in train was opposed to how Hillary Clinton was about to be arrested. People are prone to conspiratorial thinking because they don't trust government or the people who are powerful in their lives. And so they need a story that will make sense of their lives for them as a replacement for an institution that you can trust.
