siegeA huge chunk of Twitters QAnon community has vaporized, seemingly overnight. A pro-Trump message board has rebranded itself, jettisoning the former presidents name from its URL in its move toward a broader message. And other right-wing forums are grappling with internal rebellion and legal war.
Taken together, these developments since the Jan. 6 Capitol attack raise questions about the long-term viability of pro-Trump communities now that their inspirational leader has been impeached, lost his own Twitter account and left the White House.
Experts say the communities are likely to recover a new website already has replaced TheDonald.win, albeit with a somewhat broader focus but its less clear whether online activists central to President Donald Trumps rise and political power will remain a large, coherent force in the years ahead.
This has been a bad month for the radical right on the Internet, said Will Partin, a research analyst at the technology institute Data & Society.

They are more likely Democrats on policy, but need a strong leader figure to give their life purpose. Can Biden bring these people back to reality?

What will they look like in their transformation in reaction to taking Donald out of the picture? We were kind of lucky that Trump was an insane, dopey idiot. I hope they dont get some clever and charismatic evil asshat who actually knows what he is doing.
