Good morning, everyone! There are still no big organized plans for action among the pro-Trump social medias today, 1/20/21. I'll keep monitoring for small threats. But mostly, I'm going to be live tweeting the meltdown of the QAnon conspiracy theory crowd. Join me! 1/
As a reminder, today is the last day that The Plan can be executed/The Storm can come. If you haven't been keeping up, that means it's the day the military steps in and arrests the Satan-worshiping cannibalistic pedovore int'l child sex-trafficking cabal in Congress & the media
Lots of stimulants, medication, and other substances fueling the Q crowd today. Interesting how their conspiracy bits leak in here, too
While some are worried The Plan won't happen and some will move the goalposts, most are agreed that Biden must NOT be inaugurated. At the moment he finishes with the oath, they are going to collectively see the thing they have believed in for years crumble.
I recommend you spend your Inauguration celebrating the triumph of our democracy. You can always come here to check it out.

And seriously - while this Q nonsense has been profoundly damaging, if you're a Q person who found this: it's going to be ok.
Trump has landed at Andrews. Many are noting the number of flags on the podium (note: the flags have gold fringe which, in this conspiracy, means they are flags of The Corporation*, not US)

*the US has not been a country since 1871 when we became a corp owned by City of London
Over in MAGA land, some people are thanking Trump. Others are...upset
We'll likely not have many developments until Inauguration, but here are things Q people are looking for. I'll tweet if there's any action around this:
-Blackouts (I swear if any servers go down or a tree hits a power line, they are going to freak!)
-Emergency Alert System
The Qs are very excited now. They (sort of genrally) believe The Storm is going to come during Inauguration maybe AS Biden is being sworn in
Uh oh... We're not even to swearing in, but there are cracks forming…
The q boards are having some technical difficulties right now. The boogaloo bois are fine and their meme trolling game is strong
Here it comes…
OH NOW IS THE TIME YOU START FACT CHECKING YOURSELVES YOU RACIST, SEXIST, ANTISEMITIC JERKS?!?!?
I think this is pretty much how it's going to keep going. If the tone changes, I will keep you updated
Can't resist one more update in the same vein. Oh, lordy.
OK so, Ronald Watkins runs 8kun (home of Q's posts) and many of us suspect he's actually "Q" (abcnews.go.com/Politics/men-q…)

He's CodeMonkeyZ over on Telegram. He posted, basically, "Well THAT didn't work out LOL 🤷‍♂️" and the Qs are ANGERY
Someone just got mad at me for posting comments from Q-adherents posted on a forum she didn't know about. So here are some from Gab. I had to seek them out from the 90% of posts there that are spam about free Trump gold coins lol

Evening pro-Trump Social media update (1/19/21):
-Still no organized violence plans (good!)
-Much disappointment/anger for Trump after speech
-Plenty still holding out hope for QAnon Storm/Plan
-Shocking amount of talk about myPillow. Like A LOT

I don't know what's next, but…
If I had to speculate tonight, I see 2 paths:
-Trump gets back on socials, holds rallies, over next few months, inspires them into violent frenzy. Expect attacks on media, prosecutors/states coming for him, "enemies"
OR
-Trump stays mostly quiet, base crumbles into disgruntlement
No matter what, there's a serious domestic terrorism threat to be addressed. This should be a priority of the intelligence community for years to come. Optimist Jen thinks Trump will mostly be deplatformed and fade away. Dystopian Jen worries.

You guys...the MA GAs are maaaaaaaddddd about Trump's speech today 1/
I don't want to harp on it, but maybe you're interested in some of their feelings right now? 2/
The really interesting ones are those "starting" to realize he's not going to remain president 3/

Tuesday 1/19/21 check-in on Pro-Trump social media: tl;dr -still no plans for big organized violence leading up to Inauguration
-Today is National Popcorn Day which is the day QAnon supporters think The Storm (massive arrests) will happen
-I'm worried about what comes next
1/
Ok so the good news is that the paranoia continues to strengthen and there seems to be no plan for any organized action, protests, riots, demonstrations, or anything today or tomorrow. The consensus is to stay home. Horay good news! 2/
Some people are getting antsy, but almost all realized there are huge risks and no benefit. They thought they could force Congress to keep Trump in office on 1/6. They know they can't force anyone to appoint Trump tomorrow. 3/

If you will indulge me a little more, I'd like to share another element of the conspiracy theories surrounding inauguration, because we're hearing a LOT about Trump becoming the *19th* president of the United States

(no threats of violence here)
1/
OK SO - this truly bizarre story says that in 1871, the US ceased to be a nation and instead became a corporation that belongs to the city of London (attn @SadiqKhan)
AND if you see an American flag with gold fringe, well that represents the corporation NOT the country 2/
This, they say, is why the rich are privileged and the average guy can't get ahead. They do not explain why the City of London would do this to us, their American Corporation, but this is how we get the victim narrative introduced 3/

Monday morning check-in on pro-Trump social media.
For those worried: the overall tone is increasingly one of resignation OR hope that some external forces will keep Trump in office. There is no organization of protests, rallies, or violence. This is good.

BUT… 1/
…the situation is very precarious. As I said on Friday, they are looking to Trump for guidance. He's been largely silent, which is good, but there is civil war-level anger among many supporters. If Trump were to call for it, I think many would take up arms 2/
His followers feel like victims. The poor white males… 3/

Let's do a Friday afternoon check-in on what's going on in pro-Trump social media

One of the most dominant themes is paranoia. Anyone who talks about a rally, protest, march, or other action gets accused quickly of being part of the FBI/antifa/deep state 1/
That said, this is not quite right because… 2/
…the Virginia Citizens Defense League is organizing a caravan for Lobby Day on the 18th. Their event was armed last year (photos from 2020) and they explain how to show up armed this year, even though they don't have permits to hold an official event vcdl.org/LD2021Routes/ 3/
