President Joe Biden was sworn into office on Wednesday, and some believers in the QAnon conspiracy theory have apparently realized that they have wasted years of their lives believing in a complete fabrication.
As flagged by Jared Holt of Right Wing Watch, a QAnon group chat that occurred during Biden's inauguration found many one-time faithful followers disillusioned with the false claims they had been sold over the last four years.
"Well I'm the official laughing stock of my family now," wrote one. "Awesome."
"OMG none of this was real," wrote another.
NBC News reporter Ben Collins, who has been covering the QAnon phenomenon since it first started gaining traction on social media, has similarly found devotees slowly realizing that they've been had.

No supporters or fanfare at Palm Beach airport as we await POTUS final arrival. Blue skies. Sunny and warm. Quiet tarmac.

As Trump boarded Air Force One for his last presidential flight to Florida, many QAnon adherents some of whom had earlier this month stormed the Capitol in a siege that left at least two QAnon devotees dead and others in jail began to wonder whether theyd been duped all along.
When one QAnon channel on the chat app Telegram posted a new theory that suggested Biden himself was part of the plan, a number of followers shifted into open rebellion: This will never happen; Just stfu already! Its over. It is sadly, sadly over. What a fraud!.....
It simply doesnt make sense that we all got played, one QAnon channel on Telegram said.
