QAnon Isn't So Sure Trump Will Magically Become President Again on March 4

For weeks QAnon has hyped March 4 as the date of Trump's return to the White House.

Now, a coordinated effort is underway to dismiss the date as a fake media false flag designed to “make the whole movement look dumb.”

QAnon Isn’t So Sure Trump Will Magically Become President Again on March 4
Influencers within the conspiracy movement are trying to reversing course on a belief that Trump will become president again on that date.

National Guard troops have been deployed, Congressional warnings have been issued, and hotel prices have been jacked up. But a predicted QAnon celebration to mark the return of former President Donald Trump to the White House next week is now being labeled by influencers within the conspiracy movement as a disinformation campaign by the fake news media.

For weeks, QAnon followers have been hyping March 4 as the date when Trump would return as the rightful president of the U.S. But in the last couple of days, virtually all the major QAnon figures and influencers have reversed course and dismissed the date, calling it a false flag event created entirely by the mainstream media to “make the whole movement look dumb.”

“There is a schism within the community, a splintering over what this March 4 date really means” Karim Zidan, an investigative journalist for Right Wing Watch, an advocacy group tracking extremist groups, told VICE News.

Zidan says he has observed major QAnon accounts sharing almost verbatim messages warning followers to essentially ignore the March 4 date, as there is no evidence to back up claims that Trump will return as president.

High-profile influencers and grifters have been controlling QAnon for a while, particularly since the movement’s anonymous leader, “Q,” stopped posting updates in December after Joe Biden won the presidential election. Now, these accounts are keen to preserve their power within the conspiracy movement, and to try and avoid the type of anger and hostility that erupted after President Joe Biden was inaugurated on Jan. 20. Inauguration day had previously been seen by the conspiracy movement as a red line for when Trump would take action against the global sex trafficking ring that QAnon falsely believes is being run by Democrats and Hollywood elite.

1848? I meant 1849. My math was a bit off. No 1849? Well 1863 then... No? How about...

Cult members are going to cult member. There may be some who come back to reality, but this stuff is deep now. They will just move the goal posts.
