We wondered where QAnon would go after Trump left office. While some in the right wing have decided that Trump failed us all by allowing the Deep State to take back the White House QAnon still has faith in Donald Trump to make things right. They even go so far as to believe that he will return to office soon and that President Biden has been allowed to illegally hold office for a few days (or weeks, surely not a few months.) before justice is finally done and The Storm arrives.
QAnon went searching for answers in the one place they know they’ll always find them, the QDrops. The lucky QDrop that won the prize this time was QDrop 22.
What is a clear as day reference to President Lincoln and the Civil War that he fought to protect the Union (and Q’s promise that this time around there will be no war and that things will be done ‘clean and swift’) has been transformed into now Former President Trump allowing the military to step in and remove President Biden and his corrupt Deep State cohorts from power before he is returned to the Presidency via some sort of hocus pocus that QAnon hasn’t exactly figured out yet, but they are working on it and will get back to you soon.
Donald Trump creating “The office of the Former President” made this a “QProof” as QAnon likes to call it, or to put it more bluntly, a way for them to engage in confirmation bias. Now that Trump is officially the “Former President” he can now fulfill the requirements to meet QDrop 22’s statement. Of course, Trump wasn’t a former President when Q made this post so how can it be referring to him? While not all of QAnon will defend this point of view, there are plenty of QAnon supporters who will explain that the QDrops aren’t written in chronological order and that QDrops 1 and 2 talking about Hillary Clinton’s impending arrest were Q “Beginning at the end” and that we’ve been working towards the payoff Q promised us this whole time and will get to it one day soon.
QDrop 22 was merely one half of the puzzle for figuring out how Trump was going to be swept back into office. The other half of this puzzle is directly taken from the mythology of Sovereign Citizens. The SovCit movement is based off a series of absurd legal ideas that include the government doesn’t have a right to regulate anything a person does and so license plates and drivers licenses are oppressive government over-reach that can be ignored. As one example they believe they have a Constitutional right “To travel” I.E. to use a car for non-commercial purposes and would only be subject to regulation if they wanted to “Drive” I.E. use their car to earn income.
Beyond all this you get into some really odd stuff about the true meaning of gold fringe on an American flag and an obscure piece of legislation that was passed in 1871. The District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 was designed to regulate how land in that area that wasn’t part of any State would be regulated. SovCits have managed to take this bit of administrative policy and created a whole narrative of America being subverted by some mysterious force working behind the scenes to steal our freedom.
The short of the 1871 Truther movement is that D.C. was turned into a Corporation and with it so was the United States of America. That the nation was sold to Britain and is now under the control of The Crown, or whoever the bad guy of the moment is. The big “Gotcha” that is often used by people supporting this theory is the claim that somehow this piece of legislation altered the Constitution itself. That the Constitution was transformed from the “Constitution for the United States” to the “Constitution of the United States” and that this switch of the words “for” and “of” is proof that the original Constitution has been destroyed and replaced by this corrupted document.
The way the SovCit movement tries to make this sale is a bit of rhetorical sleight of hand. They will point out that the Constitution begins with a preamble that states they are making a Constitution for the United States. Once you see this you will start thinking about the fact that you’ve never referred the Constitution this way and suddenly it’s the whole Bearenstain Bears thing all over again and now you’re convinced the “of” reading of the Constitution is some sort of nefarious plot against freedom.
The problem with this theory is that in the body of the Constitution itself it refers to the “Of” phrasing. The Presidential Oath of Office and the Oath of Office for the Vice President and all members of Congress all include the “Of” phrasing and are written into the Constitution. It is clear from the start the Founding Fathers viewed the Constitution as the Constitution of America, and in the preamble were merely explain their plan for the Constitution of America.
Finally this ahistorical take on the Constitution has led QAnon supporters to believe that Trump will retake office on March 4th 2021 because March 4th was when the Constitution originally started the term of Presidents. Why the 20th Amendment, which shortened the lame duck period for outgoing administration is invalid is never explained, but we can rest assured Trump shall return when the true Constitution, the one QAnon has dreamed up, says he shall return.
