“A few months ago I responded to an Anon posting that said the military had refused Plan Z, a hard military coup.”
That sounds like a reasonable theory to me. You make many other good points in your post as well. Unfortunately many bought into the idea that Q is somehow omniscient, hence the need to explain everything that’s happened since Jan. 20th as deliberate and part of the original plan. Kind of reminds me of that knight in Monty Python who is unshakable in his belief that he has his foe exactly where he wants him, even as his arms and legs are being chopped off.
I believe Q is part of a team of patriots who were and are working with Trump. There’s too much evidence to deny that. But they’re human beings, not gods. To insist that we’re witnessing the unchanged original plan as was foreseen and mapped out years ago by the Q team is to ascribe god-like properties to men. I think it’s safe to say that the plan has strayed from its original configuration enough by now, that looking for significance in the minutia of dates and time stamps has become mostly pointless.
I believe that the Q operation/communication was finished on election day. It accomplished it’s task of getting people to research and get a handle on what is going on. Kept supporters of POTUS DJT morale up and helped get them out to vote. I will be surprised if Q posts again.
