QAnon believers who flocked to Dallas to see JFK Jr. reappear are refusing to leave, saying they wan

want to set up a permanent HQ there

A group of QAnon supporters who gathered in Dallas, Texas, last week in the hopes of watching John F. Kennedy Jr.- who died in 1999 - reappear are refusing to leave the city and considering setting up a permanent base there, Vice News reported.

Images taken on Saturday by the freelance journalist Steven Monacelli showed dozens of supporters meeting up in Dealey Plaza ⁠- the site of the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the father of Kennedy Jr. ⁠- for the second time in two weeks.

One photo showed the adherents of the online conspiracy theory making the shape of a gigantic "Q."

The group appeared to be smaller than the hundreds who gathered at Dealey Plaza on November 2 to watch what they thought would be Kennedy Jr. coming back from the dead and announcing his run for the White House in 2024 with former President Donald Trump.

10. They're seriously a remote compound and white robes away from being a full blown cult.

11617 N Central Expy Suite 240, Dallas, TX 75243

I’m sure they’d have no problem with them camping out in their offices and parking lot.

13. There's a socialization aspect to all of this

I've seen this within liberal protesters too. There is often a segment of any "movement" that's in it for the socialization. A bunch of people come together and start having fun and they don't wanna leave. There are people that go from protest to protest merely to meet up with similar people. I volunteered for a social work nonprofit that utilized a significant number of volunteers. Many of the volunteers were there for the socialization as much as the work itself. Really, in the end, a significant number of protesters were in Washington on Jan 6th because they thought it would be a great party basically.

They've already invested so much of themselves in this belief system, they can't admit they were wrong about anything because then the whole thing might start to crumble.
