What are these QAnon people going to do when none of this happens?

It seems hard to move the goalposts again after January 20th.

They will try, because they are in a doomsday cult, but this is certainly the most severe deadline they've ever faced.

BREAKING: Biden “Inauguration” is will be a mass arrest event. Sources tell me Space Force will cut feed from inauguration and initiate GBS, allowing Trump to announce crimes against humanity committed by attendees to world. Without cover story, swamp would flee after 1st arrest.

In the past 5 days the left has shown us what vile hypocrites they truly are.

They are driven by hate, projection and endless conspiracy theories.

On January 21st, the failure of this prophecy to come true will be "part of the plan all along" and the game will be reset and reconfigured with new predictions that also won't come true, in an infinite loop of infinite stupidity.

But not in the way they think.

Actually I don’t think the mob can get near the place this time. They had their Hail Mary last week.

I have a grandson that knows everything there is to know about Harry Potter and about Lord of the Rings.

It's kind of the same thing.

I started saving all kinds of things, like worn out shoes and milk jugs, thinking she might be onto something. 1978 came and went. I got to talk to her to find out what happened, and she said that the verses in the Bible had been misinterpreted.

I cleaned house and don't listen to that crap any more.

as they think they are a special part of the end times cinematic universe unlike millions of other Christians who have lived and died before the “rapture.” They pick a new date and obsess over the new date, and when that date comes and goes, they move on to a new date. It’s born of narcissism not rationality.

that their latest BS is that Trump will be announced as the true winner sometime in March. Not sure how exactly they think that would work.

Instead of them having an inside track of power, they'll acknowledge that a major loss occurred and it's needed for "patriots" to regroup to prepare for the hard time ahead. Something like that...

Seventh-day Adventists trace their origins to the teachings of the American preacher William Miller (1782-1849), who preached that the second coming, or "advent" of Jesus was imminent.

Unfortunately Jesus did not appear on the day in 1844 promised by Miller, which became known as the Great Disappointment, and many of his followers left his movement.
...
By 1850 the group had about 300 members and no institutions, although it did have magazines and a hymnbook.

But this proved a firm enough foundation, and by 1852 the movement had 15 ministers and was growing steadily. In 1861 the movement created a publishing company - the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association - and in 1863 it constituted itself as a denomination.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/christianity/subdivisions/seventhdayadventist_1.shtml

The failure of Trump to arrest all their objects of hate after stupid internet messages that they all had to "interpret" to fit their feelings and desires isn't anywhere near as serious as the absence of a Second Coming. They'll be able to "refine" their claims about what the posts meant, they'll transfer their worship to other con artists (Ivanka? I expect they have a thing for blondes, like Donald does), they'll continue to give money and time to whoever has the nerve to fleece them and risk them killing unbelievers.
