All this suggests that QAnon is not likely to disappear but to mutate further. To be sure, many will find the psychic breach of the latest failure hard to shrug off, and there may be significant rifts in the movement. There are already unconfirmed but plentiful accounts on r/qanoncasualties, a forum for the family and friends of QAnon advocates, of breakdowns, hysteria, suicide threats, and physical attacks. Some people may be pulled out of the movement. But millions of Americans—including congressional representatives—will continue to assert their belief in a hidden world, regardless of how far it deviates from reality.

Whitehouse damage control, pathetic

First Lady Jill Biden made a surprise trip to visit the National Guard troops stationed at the US Capitol on Friday so she could deliver them cookies made from the White House.

The stop was not on Dr Biden’s official schedule, but it was made in an effort to show her gratitude towards the troops for protecting Washington DC around Inauguration Day.

"I just wanted to come today to say thank you to all of you for keeping me and my family safe. I know that you left your homestates,” she said on Friday afternoon when addressing troops stationed outside the US Capitol.

“So I wanted to give you each a cookie just as a small thank you for your service and your families’ service … I truly appreciate all that you do. The National Guard always holds a special place in the hearts of all the Bidens. So thank you,” her speech concluded.
