The QAnon people have not yet all given up, and have adjusted their prophesy to a new date, which is March 4th, 2021. March 4th was the inauguration date for US presidents prior to 1933. FDR was sworn in as president in January, 1933, for the first time not in March. Because presumably in the depth of the Great Depression it was thought the nation needed it’s new president ASAP.

QAnon Beliefs Merging with Sovereign Citizen Craziness
The latest claims being made by QAnon supporters echo those of the sovereign citizen movement, a group of people who believe they are not governed by the same laws as everyone else. That belief has led to violent confrontations with law enforcement have viewed them among the top domestic extremist threats facing the country.
“There was some crossover between QAnon and the sovereign citizen movement before, but I've seen sovereign citizen ideas about the United States being a ‘corporation’ become more popular within QAnon and beyond in January,” Travis View, a conspiracy theory researcher, told VICE News.
“It's concerning because it means QAnon is borrowing ideas from more-established extremism movements.”
Sovereign citizens believe that a law enacted in 1871 secretly turned the U.S. into a corporation and did away with the American government of the founding fathers. The group also believes that President Franklin D. Roosevelt sold U.S. citizens out in 1933 when he ended the gold standard and replaced it by offering citizens as collateral to a group of shadowy foreign investors.
So according to the Sovereign citizen movement, the 1871 law turned the USA into a corporation, and made everything after 1871 unconstitutional, or invalid, or something. And of course, naturally it’s bound up with antisemitism too.
So law enforcement has to be wary of what could happen around March 4th. And the rest of us have to wait until after March 4th for QAnon schemers to invent some new Trump/Storm date. Because apparently you can’t Q without a calendar date in the future.
