The QAnon conspiracy community appears relatively unaffected after March 4 — the day many of them predicted former President Trump would be re-inaugurated — passed without incidence.

This is not the first time that a highlighted date has come and gone for QAnon. Dozens of its predictions have failed to be true since the theory’s birth in 2017.

The far-range conspiracy has thought that Hillary Clinton would be arrested, that former special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian intervention in the election would reveal damning evidence about Democrats participating in child trafficking rings and that former President Trump would emerge on the day of President Biden’s inauguration to execute his political opponents.

QAnon has been built on moving the goal posts from the start, experts say.

“QAnon followers are primarily involved with the community because the sense of meaning or community it provides them, not necessarily because they believe it gives them an accurate understanding of future events,” Travis View, co-host of the QAnon Anonymous podcast, told The Hill in an email.

March 4 emerged as a key date in the community after Biden’s inauguration. Some adherents had latched on to a theory from the fringe sovereign-citizen movement which believes that all laws passed after the 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868 are illegitimate.

The inauguration was moved from March 4 to Jan. 20 in 1933 to shorten the lame-duck period.

But even before the fated Thursday rolled around, many influential figures in the community warned that any activity would be a false flag.

On forums and in chats Friday morning, some QAnon followers quickly began claiming that March 20 was the actual date that Biden would be arrested while others applauded the community for not falling for the March 4 false flag.

Suspect in assault at Pelosi home had posted about QAnon, other conspiracy theories​

Nation Oct 29, 2022 12:43 PM EDT
The man accused of breaking into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s California home and severely beating her husband with a hammer appears to have made racist and often rambling posts online, including some that questioned the results of the 2020 election, defended former President Donald Trump and echoed QAnon conspiracy theories.
David DePape, 42, grew up in Powell River, British Columbia, before leaving about 20 years ago to follow an older girlfriend to San Francisco. A street address listed for DePape in the Bay Area college town of Berkeley led to a post office box at a UPS Store.
WATCH: Trump’s embrace of QAnon raising concerns about future political violence
DePape was arrested at the Pelosi home early Friday. San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said she expected to file multiple felony charges, including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary and elder abuse.
Stepfather Gene DePape said the suspect had lived with him in Canada until he was 14 and had been a quiet boy.
“David was never violent that I seen and was never in any trouble although he was very reclusive and played too much video games,” Gene DePape said.
He said he hasn’t seen his stepson since 2003 and tried to get in touch with him several times over the years without success.
“In 2007, I tried to get in touch but his girlfriend hung up on me when I asked to talk to him,“ Gene DePape said.
David DePape was known in Berkeley as a pro-nudity activist who had picketed naked at protests against local ordinances requiring people to be clothed in public.
Gene DePape said the girlfriend whom his son followed to California was named Gypsy and they had two children together. DePape also has a child with a different woman, his stepfather said.
Photographs published by The San Francisco Chronicle on Friday identified DePape frolicking nude outside city hall with dozens of others at the 2013 wedding of pro-nudity activist Gypsy Taub, who was marrying another man. Taub did not respond Friday to calls or emails.
A 2013 article in The Chronicle described David DePape as a “hemp jewelry maker” who lived in a Victorian flat in Berkeley with Taub, who hosted a talk show on local public-access TV called “Uncensored 9/11,” in which she appeared naked and pushed conspiracy theories that the 2001 terrorist attacks were “an inside job.”
A pair of web blogs posted in recent months online under the name David DePape contained rants about technology, aliens, communists, religious minorities and global elites.
An Aug. 24 entry titled “Q,” displayed a scatological collection of memes that included photos of the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and made reference to QAnon, the baseless pro-Trump conspiracy theory that espouses the belief that the country is run by a deep state cabal of child sex traffickers, satanic pedophiles and baby-eating cannibals.
WATCH: How new technologies could accelerate the spread of conspiracy theories
“Big Brother has deemed doing your own research as a thought crime,” read a post that appeared to blend references to QAnon with George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984.”
In an Aug. 25 entry titled “Gun Rights,” the poster wrote: “You no longer have rights. Your basic human rights hinder Big Brothers ability to enslave and control you in a complete and totalizing way.”
The web hosting service WordPress removed one of the sites Friday afternoon for violating its terms of service.
On a different site, someone posting under DePape’s name repeated false claims about COVID vaccines and wearing masks, questioned whether climate change is real and displayed an illustration of a zombified Hillary Clinton dining on human flesh.
There appeared to be no direct posts about Pelosi, but there were entries defending former President Donald Trump and Ye, the rapper formally known as Kayne West who recently made antisemitic comments.
In other posts, the writer said Jews helped finance Hitler’s political rise in Germany and suggested an antisemitic plot was involved in Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine.
In a Sept. 27 post, the writer said any journalists who denied Trump’s false claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election “should be dragged straight out into the street and shot.”

But, definitely not like the modern day woke 'nevertrumper,' huh? :biglaugh:

You hear us bitching that the mentioned above have people that will never support them?

Nope!!!!!!!!!!!!! Toughen up. It's not a big deal that people out there will never support Trump.

Glad they live in your head. You bitch about it daily

No WE should not have to wear them for Covid. And surgeons aren't wearing them to stop them from getting a virus. They wear them to stop their spittle from getting into your gut when you are all cut open.
How stupid are you? Go back and read how this discussion began. You and Humpy share the trait of the inability to hold a train of thought/dialogue.
