QAnon believers grapple with doubt, spin new theories as Trump era ends: 'We all got played'
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | Jan. 20, 2021 | Drew Harwell and Craig Timberg

Posted on 01/20/2021 10:50:39 AM PST by artichokegrower

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.

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.

See 6 and 9. Nothing juvenile at all, it will go down in history as one of the most effective psyops of all time.

Many people here have disagreed with them. But we’re not the ones making decisions - the house belongs to someone else, and he saw fit to allow it. That may puzzle me, but I have to assume he had his reasons.

Not me. I would never want to be in battle with feeble minded people. Stupid kills.

Don’t know what QAnon was or is, but it was pretty clear it wasn’t based in reality a long long time ago

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...

Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am anointed [Christ]; and shall deceive many.

I’m sorry that so many people aren’t capable of more discriminating thought.

The real truth hurts. It’s easier to think there are effective countermeasures behind the scenes that will put an end to the Great Reset in spectacular fashion. It’s sadly not true. China Joe is president and we’re in for a world of real hurt. We have very few friends in positions of influence. The world is going to hell at a fast clip. What might happen in the future to turn this around is totally unknown at this point in time.

Wow. I don’t know what you have against Jesus, but I don’t think that’s a good representation.

5D Chess was really just a badly played game of checkers.

Not even that. It was a game of "throw poop against the wall."

You’re not kidding. Hopium is more powerful and addictive than opium.

We need to focus on issues and solutions rather than nutty stuff that few people know about. Things like crime, home prices, energy supply, mediocre schools, and transgenderizing kids.

Very few on the political right recognized Q as a deception until the last couple of weeks. It also looks like Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, Rudy Giuliani, and others were engaged in deception as well, with their stories of gunfights between Special Forces and the CIA in Frankfurt, Germany and discouraging Republican voters in Georgia from voting for the GOP candidates. Granted, both were weak, but the lower turnout in rural areas caused far worse Democrat candidates to win.

Bottom line: conservatives were played for fools during the Trump presidency.

Even though I told him how foolish he was to believe in that, and couldn't countenance his belief in that nonsense, I'm not happy he was zotted. What happened?

I took a peek at Q and what I saw was completely fluid. I’m not sure about the predictions but according to what I saw, nothing was static and things change according to moves made by one side and countered by the other.
