Followers of the extremist ideology QAnon saw their hopes once again dashed Wednesday as President Donald 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.

I also remember another user named Deep In The Hurtgen Forest, who actually was outed as a fake. IIRC he might have outed himself. He was larping as a military insider or some such. Both of these were from like, 20 years ago?
