Max Burns: Loss allows Q folks to say Trump was *just about* to reveal the truth...

I've seen pundits saying Trump's loss spells doom for QAnon, the president's favorite conspiracy theory.

It's the opposite. Loss allows Q folks to say Trump was *just about* to reveal the truth, but the Deep State stopped him. He becomes both martyr and prophet.

I've seen pundits saying Trump's loss spells doom for QAnon, the president's favorite conspiracy theory.

It's the opposite. Loss allows Q folks to say Trump was *just about* to reveal the truth, but the Deep State stopped him. He becomes both martyr and prophet.

And unlike most martyrs to radical ideologies, Trump and his son Don Jr. are still very much alive.

They'll continue spinning the Q folks into a frenzy as people who "lost it all" to try and uncover Q's vast and abstract globalist conspiracy.

I'm already seeing a widely shared viewpoint on Q forums that Trump's purge of the Defense Department and intelligence community is a "last-ditch effort to get the truth out" about Q.

It's worth thinking of Q as the Praetorian Guard of a broader MAGA cult world.

QAnon isn't going anywhere. There are at least two Q believers coming into Congress next year.

Where mainstream news networks have ignored or rejected Q, it thrives in massively-viewed YouTube videos and Facebook groups.

Given the radical fanaticism with which QAnon believers anticipate armed conflict, and their desire to kick that conflict off if necessary, we should be treating it as a clear national security threat.

It'll be interesting to see how a President Biden approaches that.

such as in 1844, and the years 1000, 2000, etc. and the most recent one (prophecy) that trump and his failed presidency is the beginning of the 'end times'...my remarks (PR is a joke and a moron, and this further blurb on his part proves just how irresponsible he is and how out of touch he is). He should, if you want my opinion, be arrested for scamming people out of their hard earned money.

Televangelist Pat Robertson warned of impending doom while offering his prediction that President Donald Trump will be reelected.
The host of The 700 Club has offered occasional criticism for Trump in the past, but as Robertson — on Monday — predicted the president’s victory in November, he also told viewers “there is going to be a war.”
“Ezekiel 38 is going to the next thing down the line, then a time of peace and then maybe the end,” Robertson said. “But nobody knows the day or the hour when the Lord is going to come back. He said the angels don’t know it and only the Father knows it, so I’m not sure this is the second coming, but I am saying that if things that people thought would be during the millennial time with the coming of Jesus, they are going to happen in our lifetime.”
Turning to the election, Robertson said “I believe the Lord told me the president is going to be reelected.” He then urged people to “get out and vote, vote for whoever you want to vote for,” but he offered a warning of what will follow after.
“It’s going to lead to civil unrest, and then a war against Israel and so forth,” he said.

They almost had us.

I am sure a couple more t-shirts and bumper stickers and they will have us right where they want us.

And then after 2022, when we expand the Senate and unpack the courts and expand the House and add DC and PR, they'll get even bigger and... HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA! Sorry, can't say it with a straight face.

Let's find out who is REALLY behind this nonsense. My bet is, at minimum, there is foreign influence/amplification of the messaging.

He's still the president
He still has a big mouth
Would it not have been a good political move to do it before vthe election?
