What is Going on on March 4th?

[Bret Ripley]

I had the Pfizer vaccine today and I feel fine. I have to go now and buy Microsoft Office. You should too. Join us.

You haven't had Office surgically implanted yet? Where have you been?

I dream in Excel spreadsheets.

ETA: And my nightmares are in Quattro Pro.

I cast my vote for Samna's Ami Pro. IBM bought the Lotus Suite, back when they were sucking up to Microsoft, so they could bury it and leave Microsoft with a monopoly.

??? I thought the whole QAnon thing had been 100% debunked and discredited.

Hello, Dr. Shades. The world is filled with people who believe debunked and discredited things. That's why the argument from popularity is considered a fallacy.

It certainly has been debunked and discredited. My guess is that it could have been a hoax designed to make people on the right look foolish. If not, if the person(s) behind it actually believe in the nonsense, it certainly has made a lot of people look foolish.

And, it functions as a nice label like "flat-earther" to kill discussions.

Yep. The conspiracy theories about the Dominion voting machines came from QAnon. Link
It has been debunked, but a lot of people still believe it mainly because right-wing media was loudly proclaiming it after the Presidential election.

Trump and QAnon are still grabbing the Republican Party by the you know what and leading it around the ring.

[Philo Sofee]

When Trump does not ascend to the throne on March 4th, the QAnoners will come out with a QNutty explanation that may or may not feature the new Mars

Maybe they will announce that the real USA is now located on the planet Mars?

With luck they will do a deal with Elon Musk to stage a mass migration. Hope it works out well for them.

I was going to say that would be worth funding... give em their own planet to rule and reign in terror over. They would love it! They would be the kings they only dream of here. Lets egg em on to git to Mars...

False. They still have access to both beds and charge cards.

This suffers from a milder form of the same problem that QAnon conspiracy suffers from: unrealistic faith in the foresight and powers of conspirators.

You could no more have predicted that QAnon, out of the ocean of similar pretended insiders on 4chan, would rise to lead the masses than "Despacito" would become the #1 song on youtube, let alone explain how someone could have realistically planed and executed a conspiracy to assure that it would happen. And just to make the right look bad! of all things.

In fact, your theory here, Dr. E, is of a favorite variety among right-wing conspiracy nuts -- the "false flag operation". Anytime something goes wrong to make the right look bad they suspect a "false flag". Everything from school shootings perpetrated by the left, to make guns look bad, to the capitol riots, to make the right look bad. You're right at home, unfortunately.

Now if you can go back and study the history of QAnon and show some evidence as why you believe this is the case, then I'm listening. But that sounds like real work, doesn't it?
