My conspiracy theory is that Q is the ultimate troll. He/she comes up with the most outlandish shit possible to see how many people actually believe it. I mean, could you possibly come up with a more outrageous plot than “Satanic, baby-eating Communist pedophiles”? Even the Onion wouldn’t attempt this stuff. ---

Strangely enough, this is actually a pretty decent idea. Bear with me for a moment. The Q-berts believe that Trump is the puppet master in control of President Biden and they’re pulling a fast one on the rest of us. Those of us living in reality recognize that President Biden is in control. So both groups support President Biden’s agenda and we get the unity that is needed. It’s a kind of win-win situation where one of the wins is real and the other is delusional, but still, let’s take what we can get. ---

What is “NESARA” and “GESARA”? And why did the poster not use the letter “i” in Biden’s name: “B1DEN”? ---

You know, the best case of Schadenfreude is happening right now and we can’t see it…I mean, you _know_ Trump would be tweeting a firestorm right now trying to get attention on himself instead of Biden, but…no twitter. So he has to sit there in Florida and stew while Biden and Harris get the center stage he seemingly just can’t live without… Would love to have a camera in his private quarters right now… ---

I’d say there is at least a 1% chance that Trump is tweeting furiously right now using an App that looks and behaves like twitter but doesn’t actually connect to anything ---

I was wondering too, Spoons, so I wiki’ed it. NESARA is National Economic Security And Recovery Act and GESARA is Global Economic Security And Recovery Act. According to the Q-anons, these proposals, never introduced to Congress (indeed, the GESARA never existed IIRC), but the QAnons and other conspiracy theorists think it did pass the Congress and is being kept hidden from the American people because reasons. And any more will hurt my brain, so you’ll have to dig deeper if you want. ---

Those sorts of tricks are getting less and less effective over time. The AIs are getting scarily good at identifying synonyms of all types. ---

From the Vice article - "… Not all are despondent, however. Some are already thrilled by the idea that Trump is apparently [speculating about forming a Patriot Party](https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/trump-impeachment-biden-inauguration/card/90pPMzFPqr5fMzg1Bkbs). A few actually started a Patriot Party website, which is built around “small government, America First, and Big Freedom.” They await further instruction from their leader. “Party and website are both works in progress,” reads the fine print at the bottom of the website. “Please stay tuned.”" As in, **please be ready to contribute to the grift.** ---

Wanted to add to the schadenfreude… Trump issued some very sketchy pardons, but amazingly, he didn’t pardon himself, his family, nor his in-laws. His offspring must be pretty salty about that. I look forward to seeing their misfortunes emerge, develop, and multiply abundantly. ---

Have to say, this thread gets funner and funner toward the end. Guess who else haz a sad? Proud Boys! Not only do they see trump as “a total failure” “a weak shill”, but they were furious when he didn’t bother to pardon those languishing in jails for various things they did to make america great. They propose abandoning the GOP entirely and putting their hopes in smaller scale independent mayhem wherever they see an opportunity. ---
