Well my call for predictions for QAnon and March 4 resulted in remarkably few predictions but here I am undeterred for the follow-up!
No violence so far so that's good. Things could change but it does appear unlikely.

I think Q is finally done.
Jan 6 showed them to be traitors.
Mar 4 divided them in half. (a lot of Q people were trying to walk back the Mar 4 stuff)
The Trumpers have turned on them by accurately noting how much fun people like I am having with it.
And Q disappeared (or got the 'rona and died)
Put a fork in 'em, they're done.

They aren't done, for the same reason religious cults stick around for decades or centuries after their central predictions fail. They're going to be with us permanently, because the core of the Q mindset (almost said "ethos," whoops!) is the same old aggrieved white-boy angst that's been powering the loonie fringe since 1865.

Sure there will always be a certain amount of crazy!
It seems like the Q folks may be merging with the existing doomsday evangelists already.

How many of those religious cults ever had a impact afterward? Sticking around in dwindling numbers, heavily marginalized (often by choice), is done.

Uh, the Christians and the Muslims...? I'd say that's two pretty damned impactful cults with shelf lives longer than many nations.

Isn't Trump supposed to be swept back into power on March 20th?
Also, I hear that Elvis is still actually alive. [time.com] I read it online. So it must be true!
