  3.  @Feces132  — "Pretty sure she denounced all of this in late 2018." No. Here’s what the article you shared actually says about that: "So later in 2018, when I started finding misinformation, lies, things that were not true in these QAnon posts, I stopped believing it." — Greene + Here’s the definition of denounce: publicly declare to be wrong or evil Greene said: ..."I stopped believing it." ⬆️ She did not make it public or widely known that she "stopped believing" QAnon in 2018. ...If you believe I’m wrong, then it should not be very hard for you to share a video from 2018 — where she publicly "denounced" QAnon. + Motivated Reasoning — is a phenomenon studied in cognitive science and social psychology that uses emotionally-biased reasoning to produce justifications or make decisions that are most desired rather than those that accurately reflect the evidence, while still reducing cognitive dissonance. In other words, motivated reasoning is the "tendency to find arguments in favor of conclusions we want to believe to be stronger than arguments for conclusions we do not want to believe". Motivated reasoning is similar to confirmation bias, where evidence that confirms a belief (which might be a logical belief, rather than an emotional one) is either sought after more or given more credibility than evidence that disconfirms a belief. It stands in contrast to critical thinking where beliefs are approached in a skeptical and unbiased fashion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motivated_reasoning
