Why QAnon Followers Think Donald Trump Will Be Sworn Back In as President on March 4
By Ewan Palmer On 2/8/21 at 6:40 AM EST

After more than three years of Donald Trump not taking down satanic pedophiles and the "deep state" working against him, losing the election, then failing to order mass executions at Joe Biden's inauguration, followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory are now claiming March 4 as the next significant date for the movement.

Supporters of the radical conspiracy now believe that March 4 will be the day that Trump will still somehow be sworn in as president, seemingly undeterred by the January 20 ceremony, after which Biden entered the White House, and all their other predictions since late 2017 having failed.

The theory around March 4 has been bubbling since January, as QAnon found new ways to suggest "the plan" is still in place—despite Trump no longer being president—and that supporters just need to keep faith.

Interest around the date re-emerged after it was revealed that prices to rent a room at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C on March 4 have been hiked to $1,331, more than double the $596 price for a guest room for most of that month and nearly triple the lowest cost.

I keep hoping they'll give up and call it quits. Buy some new Nike shoes, put a roll of quarters in their pockets, and copy the rest of the Heaven's Gate cult's "willful exit" (I think that's the euphemism they used.) None of these insane traitors will be missed.

It's the 4th of March on the Lunar Calendar

They can claim the Lunar Calendar is the only true calendar since it's the calendar of ancient societies like the ancient Hebrews

And what of John Kennedy Jr.? Wasn't he supposed to appear at their convention? I guess he decided to wait.

Anyway, you reminded me of the lonely guy in the sandwich board warning the end is coming, and a date on a memo pad stuck on front of his board. The page with the date can be torn off and a new one written underneath, and so on and so on.

March 4th was the original inauguration date until the 1930s.
Just another straw they're grasping for.
Your notion is too clever for that crowd.

they did at the Capitol. Think of it as a damage insurance. Otherwise, he would have dropped the rates to Motel 6 levels and made sure plenty of cots and cheap beer were available for the Q-Balls.

..which changed it to January 20, was ratified. FDR was the last president who was sworn in for his term on 3/4, in 1933 (and the first to be sworn in on 1/20, in 1937).

Someone in their cast of lunatics may have decided that 3/4 was thus the 'real' date.

After March 4 comes and goes, they'll say that Trump will retake office on April 3. Why April 3? Because 4/3/21 - it's a celestial countdown! A countdown to the greatest day in history! On that day, Trump will take office again! And Jesus will come back and be Vice President (because of course God loves Trump better). And God will tell everyone that it's now "Qod" and Trump is the ArchOrangel Donald! And all of those evil people who are just coincidentally other ethnicities will catch on fire and burn for 40 days and 40 nights in agony before dying, and COVID will magically disappear, and everyone's toilet will suddenly be plated in gold, and everyone gets yachts and puppies and kittens mansions and lots of hamberders and guns. It'll be the Second Qoming!

And the day after that, we mock them again-- immediately followed by the self-righteous concern that we need to reach out to these voters because "I thought we're supposed to better than that..." or some such sanctimonious nonsense.
