"We really are the cucks": QAnon adrift after Trump 'fails to ascend as God Emperor'

[luv2fly]

Supporters of the unhinged QAnon conspiracy theories were soul searching on Wednesday after Joe Biden became president of the United States without being arrested in "the storm" allegedly predicted.

"I'm the laughing stock of my family," one conspiracy theorist lamented. Vice News reported more under the headline, "Trump Fails to Ascend as God Emperor, Leaving Diehard Fans Adrift."

"As new President Joseph R. Biden took his oath of office, his hand atop a massive family Bible, confusion, anger, and grief washed over some of the worst corners of the Internet," Vice reported. "Refugees from the QAnon conspiracy subreddit, now huddled together on a new website, took turns assuring each other that everything they were seeing was all part of the unfolding of the grand Plan they'd spent years breathlessly awaiting. 'I HAVE ZERO DOUBTS,' one wrote. But others weren't so sure. 'WTF?,' another wrote. 'He's being sworn in now.'"

3. It sounds like what they were wanting is a coup followed by a full on authoritarian dictatorship.

SMDH. These people have really anti-American beliefs and are a danger to our democracy.

8. I have an acquaintance who is one of those rapture people

I almost said friend but she isn't really someone that close. She did call a few days ago and warned us that the end was coming, but she does this every so often. She's never right of course, and I just listen, but ... she's crazy.

12. Whenever these rapture folks start in on me,

I ask if I can have the car when they are called home. Reactions vary.

7. Such a damn shame

Cucks? Yes they are.
The worst possible examples of fake patriotism.

9. They should thank Drumpf

Great recruiter, gave them legitimacy, made them (in)famous. They’re getting attention and interviews from the media. White supremacy has crawled out from under the rock. It was a symbiotic relationship for a while.

Someone made a lot of money off these suckers.

stop laughing at you. Eventually.

As new President Joseph R. Biden took his oath of office, his hand atop a massive family Bible, confusion, anger, and grief washed over some of the worst corners of the Internet. Refugees from the QAnon conspiracy subreddit, now huddled together on a new website, took turns assuring each other that everything they were seeing was all part of the unfolding of the grand Plan they’d spent years breathlessly awaiting. “I HAVE ZERO DOUBTS,” one wrote. But others weren’t so sure. “WTF?,” another wrote. “He’s being sworn in now.”

“Anyone else," another wrote, "feeling beyond let down right now?”

In the weeks leading up to Biden’s inauguration, the worst elements of Trump’s coalition— Nazis, white supremacists, Q-mesmerized “patriots,” Proud Boys, Telegram lurkers, and all-purpose far-right shitlords—managed to hold out hope. On one website for Trump fans banished from Reddit, TheDonald.win, many users had assured one another that not only would Biden never take office, but that Trump, naturally, would never leave it. Instead, they claimed to each other—in a refrain that was once ironic and seemed less so all the time—that he would ascend to the role of “God Emperor.” On the morning of January 20, QAnon fans urged each other to “Enjoy the show,” dotting their posts with popcorn emojis, meant to symbolize all of them sitting back and watching Armageddon rain down on the Satanic cabal they’d been led to believe rules the world.

Instead, Trump quietly boarded a helicopter and flew away, Biden was sworn in without a hitch, and these increasingly addled and radicalized people were left to turn on each other.
