Devotees of the online conspiracy theory QAnon are reckoning with the inauguration of President Biden — an event that their digital prophet known as Q had said would never happen.

Q followers believed the military was going to stop the ceremony on the orders of former President Trump and arrest supposed members of the "deep state." Now some fear other far-right groups could capitalize on the chaos in QAnon and recruit its members to other dangerous causes.

Up until Biden took the oath of office on Wednesday, QAnon followers thought that the entire inauguration was “basically an elaborate setup,” says Ben Collins, who covers disinformation, extremism and the internet for NBC News. They believed Biden, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and others would be rounded up by the military and executed live on television.

Dead is dead. How sympathetic do you want me to be?  People die and that's a cold hard fact...
You don't have to be an **** about it.

Republicans saw the crazy on Jan 6, took a step back, then rethought and decided to double down on it.   Same old same old, I don't think they could change if they wanted too, the cult has too strong a hold on them.

She is a fine example of what I mean when I fuss about people who carry firearms as a fashion statement.

"...Trump Really Meant to Become the American Erdogan. That's Clearer By the Day. | The ex-president*'s strongman desires were not merely performative, and he had enough like-minded people around him to make that happen...."

We came awful close to the end of the USA as we have known it.

She has my attention and she disgusts me.  But she does perfectly represent the modern republican party. Brainless and evil.
