Default QAnon - The Schadenfraude Thread

Hey team!

I just wanted to start a thread for this. There must be a tonne of Schadenfraude around this silliness.

I honestly didn't dig much into it, I know about it mostly on the periphery but I saw a couple videos of interviews of people who are finally realizing they have been duped.

I figured some of you have followed this more closely, and maybe we can all have a good laugh while providing some insight and discussion around a Conspiracy theory that created so much craziness in the States.

Let's have some laughs!

I doubt we'll attract to many supporters, but I could be wrong iirc we had a conspiracy thread and one of our members was a hard core 9/11 twuther. (yeah I spelled it that way)


And he was annoying because his standpoint in the debate was it was up to us to sell him on why his theories were bs but he wasn't going to change his mind anyways.

Here's a couple stories I read recently.

First one is from a man who was planning on killing Pelosi because of QAnon:
https://www.newyorker.com/news/us-jo...l-nancy-pelosi

538's write up on what comes next for QAnon Followers:

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features...non-followers/

Just reading some of this stuff is bonkers.

The cognitive dissonance is/was astounding.

On what Q supporters think is next, now that Trump has left office

I would say they fall into two broad categories: There are those who believe that "the great storm" is still coming in some way, shape or form, even though President Biden is now in office. And I guess there's two iterations of this. One is President Trump is secretly in charge and controlling events from Mar-a-Lago. I guess the other is that there's a new date, March 4, which was the original inauguration date in this country, was done away with, I believe, in the '30s, and that when March 4 arrives, Donald Trump will swoop back in and say, "I've been president all along, I'm taking a second term," and then the mass arrests and the coming storm all happen then.

So we'll have to see what happens to that group when that day comes and goes. But then there's an even more angry kind of dead-ender group that is feeling as though this central tenets of QAnon about pedophilia and Satan worshipping, etc., have been true all along, that Donald Trump was not maybe the messiah they thought he was, and that they're sort of like preparing for a longer struggle. Of all the groups, that one kind of scares me, because they're really doubling down on the most terrifying parts of these prophecies.

'QAnon Shaman' willing to testify in impeachment trial, lawyer says

The attorney last week said that his client felt that he had been "duped" by Trump.

"He regrets very, very much having not just been duped by the president but by being in a position where he allowed that duping to put him in a position to make decisions he should not have made," Watkins said, according to Missouri's NBC-affiliated television station KSDK.

The Qanon mom vid was what sparked my idea for the thread!

Thanks for finding it!

You know what? This is ridiculous.

Q-Supporters/Q-Followers are supposed to be fans of me, not some anonymous crack pot, gosh darn it! (note the annoying lack of profanity).

What do I need to do to take it back?

You folks want conspiracy theories?

Gary Bettman got the NHL Board of Directors to activate the United States Code rule to unilaterally award a championship, to wit, the Stanley Cup, in 2021. This is due to the pending COVID shutdown scheduled to happen in March.

Bettman is going to award the Stanley Cup unilaterally, with the winning team being presented the trophy by Bettman and President Donald J. Trump at his Mar-a-lago Resort in Florida.

The last time this rule was used was in 1979 when Montreal native Pat Patterson was awarded the Intercontinental Championship title.


I am the REAL Q

This thread belongs in the whole Election-related threads in their own separate Forum IMO. For some reason just seeing this new thread gave me anxiety. Cos I hear too much about the content of what will end up on here. That said, for every far-out story there often are enough whisps of truth to it... problem is some folks build whole stories around these and manage to link the whisps together. Have ya'll heard about the Wayfair online ordering for the pedo's? .... careful of that rabbit hole. sigh...

like any conspiracy, it is vague enough for the 'true believers' to spin the information any way they want to...

I think some have now moved "The Storm" deadline to March 3rd or something like that...and if that deadline passes by, they'll kick that can down the road another few months...

Some even believe that Biden is 'Part of the Plan' now...its a perpetual state of cognitive dissonance for the true believers... its apophenia on steroids... "Trump had 17 American Flags at his departure ceremony...Q is the 17th letter in the alphabet...How much more of a sign do you need?" Thud.

believing that Democrats are part of some global cabal of satan worshipping pedophiles?! Seriously?
