It's all over but the pouting

OMG, that made me laugh.

Religions aren't so easily killed by facts. QAnon is an NRM, and it must go through the refiners fire as all religions do. (The original) Q's first post was to play second fiddle to a troll on 4chan who alleged Hillary Clinton would be arrested that weekend. Q claimed to have the same intel. Hillary Clinton wasn't arrested. I think it's generally accepted in Q-verse that Hillary Clinton wasn't arrested, and so Q must have been wrong about that. Later, though, the arrests happen on the low-down, and the arrested makes a secret deal with Trump and continues to work in their positions, such that the claim is unfalsifiable.

The real die-hards negotiate the little stuff in exchange for the big eventual payoff. That the payoff didn't happen or is to be delayed will shake loose a good chunk of the faithful, and quite possibly it could kill the NRM. However, if enough followers are able to lower their expectations, then the religion can grope its way to mainstream. In this case, they have the option of sucking up the lack of any master plan, while retaining the loose affiliation of radicalized cells who are willing to bring the world they long for into existence without a great leader behind the scenes to help them.

This was the Trump rally today outside the New York State Capitol building.

All one of him.

It’s so crazy because even on /pol/ they’ll occasionally post the screencap of the first ten or so Q posts. It’s literally a larp.

And yet, here we are. Dr. Gadianton couldn’t be more right. It’s become a new religious movement. It’s the oddest thing...

Those expressions make the most sense when you imagine them thinking about losing immunity to prosecution. Well, except Melania. She's thinking about escape.

He’d throw his own kids under the bus. No doubt.

Right. And - judging by the newest messages on the board - most seem to be adjusting to the facts of their failed prophet by now asserting that even this is part of ‘the plan’. Their egos are far too large to yield to logic.
