They lie that people like the QAnon folk are violent extremists, to justify whatever draconian nonsense they want against them.
Then they will lie that you are essentially one of the QAnon folk, to justify whatever they want against you.
One of the reasons it works because, when they lie about their victims and what they have done or said, people take it for granted.
The only way out of this is for people to refuse to believe whatever bad things they're told about their neighbors. And, ESPECIALLY to hold it AGAINST the people who lie to them.
But, legally and culturally, there are no penalties for the most horrible of slanders. You want to start changing things, start by holding the people you know accountable for telling you the truth, and explicitly holding it against them if they blame innocent people for something they didn't do.
