So... they're planning an insurrection for March 3rd?
imoutofnames
Who knows at this point. They don't exist in a normal world where logic exists.
AttackOfTheSpaceBat
This is like doomsday preppers who thought the world would end on Y2K then kept moving the goalpost when it didn't happen
Savagecrafty
MrSpookywasagoodboy2
Not America. Trumpers, muricans and republicans. Not much dif between the three tho.
DeucesMongooses
Then june 17th, then the 21st of September. They just keep pushing the goalposts back
snikpmupgnihsamseht
So they admit he isn't president?
scissorxmextimbers
Maybe?I can't keep up anymore

Q beliefs are so idiosyncratic that you can find hundreds of different versions of reality. We can't talk about Q like it's a single entity

Ah, so just like the rapture? Every time the date comes and goes we just push it back, eh?

Nah, the rapture happened, but only one poor soul was worthy.

My SIL is part of this shit. When I question her about it. All she ever says is “you’ll see, you’ll see.”

That's buffering because she doesn't even know what the fuck. It's like "Oh, Jesus is real, just wait until you die."

Bet her $$ that it won't happen, get it in writing.

I wonder if those goal posts are heavy. You know, because they keep moving them every few days.

Why March 4th?
shyriath
The abbreviated version is: March 4th was what it used to be before the 20th Amendment was passed. The argument is that that amendment (1/2)
shyriath
along with everything else after a certain date isn't legitimate. For more detail as to why, you'll need to read the article, because (2/3)

it's so fanatically stupid that just retyping it would lose me some IQ points. (3/3)
DanaConti5
I don’t understand, everyone agreed we had 40+ presidents two short weeks ago.
realargonwolf
It's kind of gratifying, as a (somewhat) smart person, to see what happens when a culture idolizes the "noble idiot" while treating smart-
realargonwolf
-people like creeps, weirdos and villains. Even the "nerd" culture of comic book superheroes predominantly shows the naturally strong-
realargonwolf
-characters as inherently good, while villains frequently rely on their intelligence.
realargonwolf
Of course the gratification is what little I can hold onto being a citizen in this country and watching it decay.
IAmDuckHammer
So the Nazis want Hitler back in?
TheMeatIncident
We need to convince Qanon that eating your own shit gives the highest vitamins your body can handle and the US Corp outlawed the info
AgnosticPaladin
No. They will get all kinds of parasites and diseases and then merrily spread them to non-idiot population. Just like anti-maskers.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
From their own shit? Doubtful that they'd get something they didn't already have.
AgnosticPaladin
It will perpetuate a parasite infection. And it's pretty clear they wouldn't stop at eating only their own.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
But it wouldn't infect them with anything they didn't already have.And why would that be clear? They're not eating cause they like the taste
PhilomenaCunk
Honestly, Sov Ctzns have been grifting the QAnons for a while. Look up Neely Petrie-Blanchard's killing of Christopher Hallett. NPB was

God, that story was so fucking sad. If that woman had gotten the medical help she needed, she could've seen her kids again. But nope. Q.
PhilomenaCunk
an unhinged mom trying to get custody of her daughter back, and Hallett was an attorney selling bogus legal advise. Told her to /
PhilomenaCunk
declare some BS he called the "E Clause," and then she could do whatever with impunity. There have been 2 episodes of the excellent podcast/
PhilomenaCunk
"QAnon Anonymous" on the case. Kinda creepy, the first covered her zany cross country spree as a goof, the 2nd soberly covered the murder.

And a whole bunch of them will get elected on a GOP ticket in the near future because it's not like the party has any standards whatsoever.

That has been clear since that Alzheimer-addled cowboy flick actor.S.thing needs to be done or they'll drag the whole country down with them

Just keep moving the goal post. They'll tag along. And they call us sheeps.

Trump could die in public and they would say it was an act, so he could go into hiding to root out the Satanic Death Cults

"Count bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums." Seems appropriate, here.

Ooo a fellow APC fan!
ilovehotyogurttoo
At least sheep follow the flock to protect each themselves and their community. That is intelligent cooperation. Q’s followers are zombies:
ilovehotyogurttoo
Zombies: blood thirsty, follow the hoard, mindless but seeking brains (“truth”), clearly decaying & dead inside, yet they limp on....

Wait, there are groups crazier than Q?
stink3rbelle
"Sovereign" citizens are just a special breed of dumbass. They're like Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy, except that they're thr own state
haxanjunkie13
well.....I think Manson and Koresh are still clinging to their respective leads, but Jim Jones is about to go down.
Asteroidrules
Sovereign Citizens, the Korean Friendship Association, the CCP, Nation of Islam/Scientology, Branch Davidians, various other cults.
Preincarnated
Yeah, sovereign citizens are nuts.
aintnothinbutahounddog28
Yes. Absolutely. But NOT ones that are wildly popular and have believers in the highest levels of government. Q isn't really a big deal
aintnothinbutahounddog28
based on their insanity, there's tons of those, but the fact it got mainstream traction and is believed by a sizable % of the population
dudedude09
Yup. Qanon is just white trash Scientology, really. Craaaaazy delusional motherfuckers all.
topinoragnettopeloso
Thank you for that perfect description!
MrJimmyRustles
Give it a few years and these q fucks will probably be just as organized as scientologists are - we need to nip this shit in the bud, now!
Billis75
Sovereign Citizens are wacky. They believe the Magna Carta from 800 years ago makes them free from rule. Lots of legal cases out there.
GenshiV
There are, at least, groups far more competent in fomenting armed uprisings. That's the primary concern. IE Oathkeepers & the like...
Heffe3737
You mean republicans?
NorthernGeek
Yes and no, at the same time

Lvl100boss
He's calling attention to the fact that the only difference between a cult and a religion is one is just older and the leaders are dead.
Lvl100boss
I believe you can be a good person without the fear of damnation. If the only reason you are acting good is out of that fear how is it good
Sypurist
The difference between a Religion and a Cult is tax exempt status.
Kremithe
That would be both hilarious and horrifying if Q applied to be a recognized religion.
AgnosticPaladin
It would also be the logical conclusion. And also, they'd get tax exemption status.
donutposse11337
Search sovereign citizen arrested videos on YouTube. Those people are delusional.
Billis75
Or a channel like Leonard French explaining their court cases using the documents they put in as evidence. Complete bonkers.

Sure, it sounds crazy when you put it like *that*. But, yes, that is exactly what happened. Jonestown still wins, though.
LinemanMatt
I'll drink to that!
kozzillakilla
Jonestown was different, I think, a lot of them wanted to leave after living in his camp. And many of them were children.
JeezusJuice
Right. Netflix has a documentary about that.
TK421isAFK
I mean, they didn't take anyone with them, nor ruin public lives, and haven't we all had days where we're just simply done with this world?
Aelok
The harm was that misguided youths were swept up in the cult and families lost loved ones. If the leader did this all on his own, then fine.
TK421isAFK
Not really. The youngest Heaven's Gate member was 26, but most were 40-60 years old.
Aelok
Oh .. maybe I'm thinking of a different cult. Was it the manson's who were mostly youngsters doing the work?

The specific things that Q nuts believe are weirder, but sov cits seem more likely to actually act on their weird-ass delusions.
crazyspelling
As an attorney, we harbor a special hatred for the "sovereign citizens." They make our jobs so unnecessarily difficult.

It's willful ignorance. So fucking frustrating. You can see it in all the police videos, just wasting public dollars on bullshit.

Have you met a Christian?

Met plenty, I used to be one myself. I don't think they are generally crazier than Q but I guess a lot of them are.

Not a surprise re: the merging, the more extreme groups were already discussing how to court disillusioned Q folks. Looks like it's working.
