QAnon Believers Crushed After Mueller Report Fails to Lead to Hillary Clinton's Arrest

delicious!....

QAnon fans thought Mueller would take down the Democrats. Instead, Sebastian Gorka made fun of them.

While most of Donald Trump’s allies braced for the release on Thursday of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report, believers in the pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theory approached the long-awaited publication with a sense of thrill.

For years, QAnon fans have been mocked for believing that Mueller was secretly in league with the president, working hand-in-hand to uncover Satanic rituals committed by top Democrats before shipping them off to Guantanamo Bay. They had been told it was ridiculous to base their entire political worldview on a series of anonymous clues posted on internet message boards — including one that claimed Hillary Clinton was secretly arrested in October 2017.

Unhappy QAnon believers were left to grapple with the letdown. As the report’s lack of QAnon proofs became clear, the Patriots’ Soapbox livestream quickly moved on to other topics like human trafficking. The channel’s viewers weren’t fooled, though. The comment section quickly filled up with disappointed QAnon fans.

On Voat, a Reddit-style forum alternative popular with QAnon fans, believers lamented the fact that they had been duped again.

“Trump is toast,” said one poster who said he wouldn’t vote in 2020 after the disappointment. “Lied to us to extend his re-election. Good luck Q peeps. I'm done here.”

"Something big is about to happen"

"Mueller blockade ended"

"Patriots unleashed: Fire at will"

"Urgent: deep state, nowhere to hide"

"The storm has arrived...the avalanche is coming"


This is how they're grappling with the Mueller report. Denial.

I often wonder what history will make of these bizarre times! Does climate change also cause widespread insanity??

I'm encouraged by one person's statement:

“Trump is toast,” said one poster who said he wouldn’t vote in 2020 after the disappointment. “Lied to us to extend his re-election. Good luck Q peeps. I'm done here.”

Thank goodness you won't vote in 2020. PLEASE do convince all of your like-minded friends they should not vote either.

While you are at it, please convince them that having children is a left-wing conspiracy and that neither you, nor they, should EVER pro-create. That it would be playing into the hands of the liberals.

Thanks.

It would be interesting to study how this batch of nuts gets so nutty.
