Ah, you see, that’s all part of The Great Deception. Trump will save us when the Dems aren’t looking. Never doubt Dear Leader. ---

If there was a poll today that asked “Will Donald Trump win the 2020 election?” there would probably be a non-zero percentage of people who answered “Yes” ---

Dude in one of my facebook groups is _absolutely_ convinced that March 4 is now the day. (he was also absolutely convinced that Trump would be sworn in on Jan 20, but no longer speaks of what he said in the past – that is “inoperative”) I told him that I’d reconnect on March 5 to see where he’d moved the goalposts. Of course, he laughed at my foolishness for actually daring to not believe in the obvious plan that Trump was following here. He’s deadly serious about all this. ---

Something something, original inauguration date, something, 20th amendment does not count because reasons, something, something… Therefore Trump wins. I expect the next "deadline is going to have something to do with biblical numerology related to Trump’s belt size. ---

The story I heard about March 4 is that a state ratified the 20th amendment in a legislature that had a flag with a fringe on it, thereby rendering it a maritime court. Or something like that; you can’t expect too much coherence from these people. I mean if you want to get legalistic about it, the constitution was drafted by a bunch of people who were ostensibly meeting to draft amendments to the Articles of Confederation that would have required ratification by all 13 states. Instead they ignored their remit and drafted a whole new constitution that went into effect when ratified by only 9 states. The whole thing was therefore meaningless; the US does not exist; there is no president. These deplorables will go down any rabbit hole they can find. ---

Here ya go, read the crazy (the significance is, as mentioned, because that was the old swearing-in date). My favorite part: "This theory also relates, in some loose way, to the belief that America is no longer a true democracy and is instead a corporation. The theory, as strange as it sounds, suggests that Biden was actually sworn in as CEO and that when Trump takes power on March 4, he will be restoring America to its democratic roots. Apparently, he’ll be the 17th president, because America hasn’t been a democracy since the Civil War.

The nuttiest thing I have seen is a suggestion that Biden isn’t actually at the White House, he’s on a re-used set from a movie. How that is supposed to work I do not fathom but apparently the wallpaper and carpet (previously seen in the movie Dave or some shit) proves that the whole Biden administration is fake. ---

The only reason you all think this is kooky is that you’re missing the fact that there were 17 (the 17th letter is Q) flags flying behind Trump at Andrews Air Base. Now that you know Q is involved (they were impersonating being in “stand back and stand by” mode), you must feel silly, huh?
