Many of the rioters who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, after he lost the election, were nutters of the QAnon variety, who hung on Donald Trump’s every word, and when he threw his MAGA hat into the presidential 2024 election ring Tuesday night, he did everything he could to appeal to these people again, Vice News reports.

He even went so far as to invite QAnon influencers to the event, held at Mar-a-Lago, his Palm Beach, Florida home. He also blew lots of QAnon dog whistles during his 70-minute speech, making several references to the storm, a popular trope in the conspiracy movement. This impressed some well-known adherents of the movement, but there were lots of QAnoniacs posting their discontent on Telegram Monday night, with many reacting angrily to the former president’s announcement.

This may not be good news for Trump’s 2024 campaign, especially as Republicans grow increasingly resentful toward Trump due to precipitous GOP losses during the midterms.

To be sure, Trump was still lauded by some of the higher-ups in QAnonland, especially among influencers and grifters who have propelled the movement in recent years.

“Make NO mistake…President Trump is absolutely UNSHAKABLE,” one QAnoniac named QAnon John proclaimed on his popular Telegram account, adding “That’s WHY God chose him.”

One QAnon shill, in particular, influencer Jordan Sather, who uses his popularity to dupe people into buying his vitamin supplements, was also excited about Trump’s return. He was even at Mar-a-Lago’s ballroom awaiting Trump’s announcement, at one point writing reverentially that Trump passed his table and gave the group a thumbs up.

But for every Trump-worshipping QAnon idiot, there are plenty of other QAnon idiots who’ve lost their enthusiasm for the former president.

“The majority, who voiced their opinions on Telegram channels and fringe message boards, viewed Trump’s speech as a tacit admission that the 2020 election wasn’t stolen,” according to Vice News.

“Does he seriously think there will be anyone left to vote in two years, or better yet, that our country will even be viable?!!! We will NOT make it two more years! This is a flippin joke! I don’t know about you guys but I’m pissed. The storm is coming…in two years,” wrote one QAnoniac in a forum on Telegram after Trump spoke.

Another wrote:

“Patriots aren’t in control of anything, the cabal is.”

Others were even angrier.

“I’m f*cking done with this political sh*t show and WILL NEVER VOTE AGAIN! F*CK POLITICS AND THE NAZI REGIME,” one person wrote.

Some influencers tried to smooth things over, including good ol’ QAnon John, who, in a post, suggested that since Trump abandoned the election-denier schtick, this may have been part of the plan. That led one Telegram user to fire back: “Trump p*ssed off a lot of people tonight. Never thought my loyalty would be challenged by the Dems, but Instead from Trump himself. We will NOT wait until 2024. Trump conceded tonight. It’s over. Trump being ‘one of them’ seems much more plausible now.”

Then another group of the gullible posted a message that claimed Trump prevented election fraud in 2016 during his first term in office and that he’d do so again in 2024, and that led one member of the group to retort angrily: “If they could have stopped the fraud, why didn’t he in 2020 or 2022? Stop it.”

You know these people are living in “opposite world” when they think Trump announcing he plans to run again means he’s conceding the 2020 election. It kind of reminds me of the Stranger Things hellscape otherwise known as the “Upside Down.” Where everything is grey and monsters lurk around every tree.

Really, if QAnoniacs believe all this stuff, how do they manage to get along in real life? Marjorie Taylor Greene is a big believer in QAnon theory, yet she has a Bachelor’s of Business Administration. So even though she seems unintelligent, maybe she’s not.

I just really don’t understand how people can believe some of this nonsense.
