My latest for @dailydot: with Q silent, QAnon gurus are pushing the prophecy that Joe Biden will magically be removed from office on March 4th. Or some other day.

Why QAnon promoters are latching on to March 4
With the movement somewhat directionless post Trump and Capitol riot, QAnon followers need to make March 4 a thing.

Since first emerging from the troll swamps of 4chan’s /pol/ board in Oct. 2017, the QAnon movement has transformed into a conspiracy theory of everything, from vaccines to social media monopolies, from election fraud to whether aliens exist. But at its core, Q has always been about two things: the first is the approaching mass arrest of all of the pedophiles and traitors at the heart of business, politics, and the Democratic Party. The second is coming up with rationalizations for why it never happens.

Before the inauguration of President Joe Biden on Jan. 20, that prophecy was of former President Donald Trump tweeting that “the storm was upon us” and Democrats being arrested. With Biden in office, that prophecy appears to have failed. But while the Q movement continues to search for direction with no new drops from Q since Dec. 6, its need for a great hope to cling to hasn’t changed. There’s only been an alteration of what that event is. Increasingly, Q believers and promoters are moving toward the exposure of Joe Biden as a fake president, with Trump re-taking his rightful place in the Oval Office once it’s happened.

Many have now adopted March 4 as the potential date that Biden will be forcibly removed from office and magically replaced with Trump. The idea of Trump “replacing Biden,” either on that day or some other, has already caught on in QAnon social media. Q promoter David “Praying Medic” Hayes, who has based his entire online persona on having supernatural access to prophecies, has latched onto the idea, making multiple videos in February declaring that the military will be “compelled by God” to remove Biden to prevent a “right-wing insurrection.”

Other Q personalities have alluded to Biden’s removal from office, though not necessarily on March 4, including Inevitable ET and MelQ, who each have over 50,000 followers on Telegram. A video about Michael Flynn’s role in the March 4 great event has also racked up over 54,000 views on Rumble—a fairly large amount for post-crackdown QAnon social media. The major Q Telegram channel “We The Media” also made a reference to “the start date for the new Republic” being “March 4, 2021,” and Q promoter QTah dropped a reference to Trump being “the 19th president,” based on the March 4 theory.

1. Is there a betting pool for the next magic date, after March 4th quietly passes by?

I'd like to put my money down on July 4th, 'cause, ya know, freedumb.

2. Fool's Day

3. Mike Rothschild?

Don’t freak out, Queefers.

4. The end-of-the-world losers are really going to resent the Q-tips horning in on their

perpetual wrongness and frantic scrambling to dream up a new date for their prophecies...

5. What happens March 5th when nothing has changed?

Is this a moving target sort of thing? Does Biden's sudden retirement default to a month or two later or something?

Trying to make mental plans here...

8. The end is near!

6. A bit of a play on "Star Wars Day"?

Instead of "May the fourth be with you" it's "march fourth".

Should run out of those "magic" days real quick.

Would it be a stretch for Valentines day? As in "Go ye fourth and multiply"?

It has passed anyway.

14. That's what I said.

But in truth, it's more likely chosen because March 4 was the original constitutional inauguration day until the 20th amendment changed it (effective in time for FDR's second term in 1937)

7. Another cult behavior.

Set a date for something big to happen, then when it doesn’t happen, just push the date further out.

9. Every failed deadline is another chance for more people to bail out.

So, I hope they keep setting them.

10. I predict he will be removed from office

January 20, 2029.

12. Biden has already said he only wants one term.

[louis-t]

13. Then hopefully he will only need one term

to reverse the horror that the fat orange blob unleashed on us.
