Donald Trump is out, Joe Biden is in, and QAnon adherents, are in disarray. Others, like @_MAArgentino, have already done a much better job than I will of unpacking everything, but here is my take on the response of Canadian QAnon. 1/16

The day started with high anticipation. Canadian QAnon cultists were as confident in "The Storm" as they are that the sun would rise in the east. 2/16

Some were a bit more cautions having been burned before. 3/16

However, by this point Trump was well on his way back to Florida and the reality of the situation set in. 4/16

From this point the reaction of QAnon Canadians runs the gambit of emotions. 5/16

There are those who are devastated that a worldview they accepted as gospel truth has come crashing down around them. 6/16

Others are furious with some directing their rage at the "deep state"... 7/16

...and others towards Trump himself. 8/16

We also have the ones who have closed their eyes and ears who repeat "this isn't happening" manically to themselves. 9/16

This leads us into the ones who haven't given up on Q. 10/16

For this group there is nothing that will shake their faith. 11/16

Of course there are Trump supporters (including antisemites like Derek Harrison of the "Plaid Army") who were never QAnon supporters who have taken the opportunity to dunk on them. 12/16

But it doesn't matter. The true believers' wholehearted acceptance of Q is so unshakeable that they are willing to excommunicate the backsliders from the fold. 13/16

Now it is very easy to dunk on QAnon, but this group still represents a danger.

They are dangerous to themselves. 14/16

And more significantly they are a danger to society.

Already accelerationists are targeting disillusioned QAnon supporters who are right now ripe for radicalization. 15/16

This is not the time to let down our guard as we may very well be at the most dangerous point in this crisis.

Trump may be out of power, but his noxious legacy remains. 16/16
