QAnon believers grapple with doubt, spin new theories as Trump era ends: 'We all got played'

Only complete idiots would buy this crap. These idiots deserve to be laughed at




Followers of the extremist ideology QAnon saw their hopes once again dashed Wednesday as President Trump left Washington on the final day of his presidency, without any of the climactic scenes of violence and salvation that the sprawling set of conspiracy theories had preached for years would come.

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 they’d 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!” “It’s over. It is sadly, sadly over.” “What a fraud!”.....

“It simply doesn’t make sense that we all got played,” one QAnon channel on Telegram said.

I hope they are held up to ridicule - in the Congressional record - with great regularity.

Really?

For a while I was convinced that a great number of the Q-cultists were putting US on...I mean who could honestly believe ANY of the horse shit that was running around about that? And really? Trump as some kind of grand wizard pulling all the strings?

This is a guy who figured out how to BANKRUPT CASINOS for chrissakes!
This same guy said a lethal, stunningly transmissible virus was going to "just go away"...
I could spend HOURS reciting stupid shit that imbecile said...yet these morons somehow still woke up today and really did believe that Trump was going to do anything more than pout and skulk away into oblivion?

Jesus we have some dumb asses in this country, real, honest to god dumb asses...

Bigly! It was yuuge!!!1! I would point and laugh, but their diseased delusion has had deadly consequences for our country. May their ideas be thoroughly debunked and their influence drained of all energy and buried like the toxic waste that it is.

As in taking the wind out of the sails of a seditious movement, and hopefully from a unified seditious insurgency of far right wing groups.
