Twitter Users Mock QAnon As Biggest Trump Prophecy Yet Falls Apart


03/05/2021 05:02 am ET

The big day for conspiracy theorists turned out to be a big bust.

Right-wing conspiracy theorists were disappointed on Thursday when a QAnon cult prophecy about former President Donald Trump returning to power failed to occur.

Members of the group believed Trump would take office again on March 4, which was the traditional Inauguration Day date until 1933. In response, security was increased around the U.S. Capitol and the House wrapped up business on Wednesday amid concerns over the potential for new violence in the area.

Instead, nothing happened. No inauguration. No crowds. And no Trump. This inspired #TrumpInauguration and similar hashtags to trend in mocking “celebration” of the non-event:

Trumpy-Boy is QAnon's "light walker." You know, he emanates LIGHT. He's a transformative spirit who can morph into any figure (even that fly on Pence's head!), and who can travel without the means of physical aids. He's like Jesus after resurrection, don't you know? So being in two places at once is child's play for Trumpy-Boy. Florida? Washington? Phitt! Done.

What you don't know is that Trumpy-Boy HAS been inaugurated. It did occur yesterday. You and I just didn't witness it because we don't have the right kind of faith and we're blinded by our refusal to see the LIGHT.

May I suggest to all the rabid followers of the orange bastard give away all their life savings, then maybe they'll learn a lesson when the repo man comes for their guns that they paid for with credit cards.

I remember thinking back then how gullible people could be. Same with the Jim Jones episode. These people will always be with us on some level and I'm OK with that as long as they only hurt themselves.

The Heaven’s Gate suicide cult not only shunned sex, but some males in the group, including the aging leader, had been castrated in apparent pursuit of their ideal of androgynous immortality, the medical examiner revealed Friday.

Dr. Brian Blackbourne said castrations’ healed incisions indicated the surgeries were done long before the 39 men and women methodically killed themselves in the belief that they would take a spaceship ride in a UFO trailing the Hale-Bopp comet.

Also, toxicology results showed at least two of the victims took a less than lethal concoction of barbiturates and booze, meaning that they may have been suffocated with plastic bags placed over their heads, he said.

That happened here in San Diego in Rancho Bernardo. I work not far from that location. 39 people killed themselves for nothing!

Edited: It was actually in Rancho Santa Fe, not Rancho Bernardo.
