      3. And some - the most dangerous and prone to violence - will schism into a hardcore q group that continues to make predictions of revolution, and critically, will also try to make that happen.

      What won’t happen is people wising up and figuring out they’ve been conned. The reason we have Adventists and JW’s today, is because religions don’t lose adherents when they make failed predictions. They just learn to stop making predictions.

      Or they learn to claim what they said would happen did, it’s just invisible, or only visible to the faithful etc.

      Q isn’t a religion by even the broadest most ridiculous sense of the term. It’s a conspiracy theory based on a claim the bad guys did the one thing our society believes to be the most abhorrent. Nothing further.

      Just wait. It’s exactly like so many other movements before it. Read about the history of the Adventists, Mormons or Witnesses. It’s not a religion today, but it’s got the bones to make one.

      You think they’ll have a theory about the creation of the world, a moral code, anything supernatural, or anything besides the claim that some people did a bad crime? It’s more like the satanic panic of the 80s. Or people who believe in nutrition conspiracies.

      No. Satanic panic is similar but they have created a fully-realized alternate reality. And it’s heavily populated with evangelicals. It is already causing schism in the evangelical movement. Soon we’ll have the Q baptists splitting off the Southern Baptists.

      I bet Q will quite easily fuse with some sects of evangelical Christianity.

      I have a bet going with a QAnon believer who said that there will be a global purging and Trump will be the president after Jan 20th. Let’s see his rationalization after Wednesday.

      By all means. Keep us updated. It will be fascinating to watch schism in real time.

      I agree. I’m totally waiting to see what QAnon believers start saying after Jan. 20.

          They're already saying the "real" inauguration isn't until March.

          Maybe they're talking about 2024.
