What's the significance for Qanon & March 4th?




Bertrand mentions that March 4th holds significance with Qanon.
Thus the need to keep NGuard attention on the Capitol.
Anyone know what's special about this date ?l
(Other than Trump's potential trial)

Asking..thanks

1. At some point in our distant past, March 4 was Inauguration Day.

It was moved to January 20.

I think it was in the 1800s that it was moved?

In 1800 it took more than 2 months to count and certify votes, get all the info to DC and declare the winner.

7. The 20th amendment moved the date

The first inauguration, that of George Washington, took place on April 30, 1789. All subsequent (regular) inaugurations from 1793 until 1933, were held on March 4, the day of the year on which the federal government began operations under the U.S. Constitution in 1789. The exception to this pattern was those years in which March 4 fell on a Sunday. When it did, the public inauguration ceremony would take place on Monday, March 5. This happened on four occasions, in 1821, 1849, 1877, and 1917. Inauguration Day moved to January 20, beginning in 1937, following ratification of the Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution, where it has remained since. A similar Sunday exception and move to Monday is made around this date as well (which happened in 1957, 1985, and 2013).

Makes sense the Q's would erase a whole timeline of US history to suit their fanatical needs.

3. AFAIK, they place significance on the date because until the 1930's, it was Inauguration Day.

I think the Q-idiots are finding common ground with the 'sovereign citizen' movement, which believes, among other crazy things, that they are the upholders of a special secret government that only they know about, and that March 4th is the 'true' date of Inauguration.

The United States doesn’t actually exist and it hasn’t since 1861 when it became “incorporated”. Тяцмр is going to restore the actual United States on March 4th, disband the corporation and arrest President Biden and all the other leaders who have perpetuated the false US government.

They’re idiots.

13. The 20th Amendment, ratified in January 1933
Mon Jan 25, 2021, 05:04 PM
Jan 2021

decreed the President’s term ended at noon on January 20th. It had previously been March 4th.

These loons believe the US became a corporation in 1871, and that any Amendment after that date is invalid. Never mind that every inauguration since 1936 has taken place on January 20th, or that 18 year olds have been voting since 1972 and women since 1920.
