QAnon believers faced another wave of disappointment yesterday after their theory that Donald Trump would reemerge from Mar-a-Lago and be crowned the real president on March 4. Unfortunately for them, there was no word from or appearance by Trump on Thursday, only a parade of his critics making fun of them.
This was based on the merging of another bizarre theory with their own that says the U.S. government was secretly replaced with a different government at some point and therefore any laws passed after this don’t count. By their calculations, this would also include the law that switched Inauguration Day from March 4 to January 20.
The March 4 theory gave QAnon folks a bit of extended hope in their savior figure, with many believing Trump would somehow unleash his secret plan to stop the Satanist baby-eating cabals and be inaugurated on Thursday.
The theory was prevalent enough that extra security and barricades were set up around D.C. in preparation for potential violence, but only a few sad MAGA hat-wearers showed up.
With this theory turning out to be a bust, QAnoners will have to rely on even more desperate ones like the idea that what we see as Joe Biden is actually a deep fake and Trump is still secretly president. No, we didn’t make that up.
Meanwhile, on normal Twitter, people are rubbing it in more than a little with the hashtag #TrumpInauguration and general tweets mocking the March 4 Inauguration Day theory and pretending to look for it.
