QAnon Supporters Tell CNN...They're Hoping for Myanmar-Like Military Coup to Reinstall Trump

QAnon Supporters Tell CNN Reporter in Shocking Segment They’re Hoping for Myanmar-Like Military Coup to Reinstall Trump

But if all those theories don’t pan out, there’s always the hope for a military coup, for some Trump supporters.

“This whole thing is Biden, he’s like a puppet president,” the first woman insisted. “The military is in charge. It’s going to be like Myanmar, what’s happening in Myanmar. The military is doing their own investigation. At the right time they’re going to be restoring the republic with Trump as president.”

“What’s going on in Myanmar?” another woman wearing a Trump hat echoed. “The government took over and they’re redoing the election. You know why? Because the election was stolen from us!”

Back in the studio, anchor Anderson Cooper noted how so many of the QAnon supporters have just pivoted to newer, more elaborate absurd claims to avoid reckoning with the ever-growing body of evidence they’re following an online conspiracy.

“There was some thought about some people leaving QAnon once Biden was election because they realized nothing they had been promised has come to pass,” Cooper noted. “But like the lady in the piece, they just change what the prediction is supposed to be.”

The last thing I heard from him he was at the Embassy trying to get visa to get out of there. It is terrifying the level of violence he has talked about. The internet is almost totally shut down right now. I got a message from hima couple of days ago and he said not to expec to hear from him again until he is able to get out of there. I am not a prayerful person but I am praying for him and his wife at this moment.

I can't imagine that United States in that state...no wait I guess I can after the 6th of January. Anyone saying that kind of thing needs to be on the FBI radar, first in line for a serious visit.
