Just don't insult them. Make it obvious that it's a real question.

The measure or sanity and viability of any worldview or movement is how well it predicts future outcomes with claims that are falsifiable. In other words, it must make predictions which could reasonably be wrong, but turn out true, consistently and reliably.
That's how we can tell the difference between true knowledge and unreliable guesswork, or complete nonsense.
Q, in particular, promises insights and predictions that are hidden from others. Its followers claim to be "in on" top secret goings-on and plans at highest levels of government. Okay. If you really believe that, then put your money where your mouth is:
Make one single and specific claim, about any event or outcome which will occur within the next 2 months, which Q skeptics or critics would not expect or doubt would be possible, but you - being a Q follower - know to be certain and true without a doubt.
Some possible examples:
- Biden will not be inaugurated on Jan 20th
- Trump will remain in power as leader of US after Jan 20th
- Pelosi will be arrested within the next 2 months
- Trump will use the military to [insert something] no later than [insert date]
You can take any of these, modify them however you like, come up with your own, whatever. I'm not sure what your prophets are predicting these days.
It just has to be specific, and it must clearly evaluate to "True" or "False" within about 2 months or so. But it should be something the rest of us, unbelieving heretics that we are, would find unusual, unbelievable, or at least surprising. And you should be so completely certain about it that you would bet all your beliefs on it.
Or do you not really believe in it, after all? Do you already know, deep down, that it's all just play-pretend?
