<\/a><\/p>\nBy Maya J. Carter<\/strong><\/p>\n The late great B. B. King once sang these otherworldly lyrics:<\/p>\n The thrill is gone<\/strong><\/em><\/span> I am inclined to think that many acolytes who worshipped at the altar of QAnon, those once under the mystifying grift\u2026sorry, I mean grip of the anonymous poster \u201cQ\u201d, are feeling quite deflated as of now.<\/p>\n If you have not met \u201cQ\u201d as of yet, you are not alone. According to the Washington Post: \u201cOver thousands of cryptic posts since 2017, Q, QAnon\u2019s unidentified online prophet, had promised that Trump was secretly spearheading a spiritual war against an elite cabal of child-eating Satanists who controlled Washington, Hollywood and the world.\u201d That is the essence of the mysterious \u201cQ\u201d.<\/p>\n You see, there was a great plan. A glorious plan concocted in the mind of the omnipotent \u201cQ\u201d which spread like a virus all over the globe. The plan, called \u201cThe Great Awakening\u201d or \u201cThe Storm\u201d, went like this: immediately prior to the Presidential Inauguration, President-Elect Biden and multiple politicians would be rounded up and arrested on live TV while millions of viewers watched, The Mighty Crusty Orange Monstrosity would declare martial law, and send the wretched politicians to Guant\u00e1namo Bay for execution by hanging. The Self-Absorbed, Vainglorious Orange Monstrosity would be the hero they all knew him to be, and would serve a second term in office.<\/p>\n After having swallowed the enticing red-pill and pledging obsequiousness to \u201cQ\u201d and watching \u201cThe Great Awakening\u201d unfold before their very eyes, they would be vindicated. The loss of personal and professional relationships would have been worth the incessant hours spent extolling the virtues of \u201cQ”. The money spent to attend COVID-19 superspreader political rallies and on the purchase of \u201cQ\u201d paraphernalia would have been money well spent. The countless hours spent on social media trolling the non-believers would prove to have been worth the effort. The energy expended on perpetrating conspiracy theories and proclaiming all that is scientifically verifiable as hoaxes would have been worthwhile. The cognitive dissonance, spinning reality, subsequent insurrection, and having nestled oh so comfortably within that alternate universe would prove meritorious and patriotic.<\/p>\n Blindly following someone they did not know, have not seen nor met, was undoubtedly the way. The Day of \u201cThe Storm\u201d arrived. True \u201cQ\u201d believers could prove that that all-powerful, all-knowing, and wise shaman \u201cQ\u201d would never betray them. He was their Oz, the Great Wizard, keeping Emerald City in check.<\/p>\n But alas, when President Biden became the 46th President of the United States – no military police to escort him off the stage, no bloodbath of politicians to follow – the thrill of the mighty \u201cQ\u201d lost its shine. The Orange Dunce would be vanquished and flown off to Florida. Those who hungered for the wisdom of the mighty \u201cQ\u201d have received no Q-drops since the Inauguration. Quite weird\u2026 Maybe there was some twisted logic in the phrase \u201cWhat you’re seeing and what you’re reading is not what’s happening\u201d, although that applied to websites like 4chan, 8chan, and 8kun, and apps such as Parler, Telegram and Gab.<\/p>\n According to the Washington Post: \u201cLate Wednesday, the movement suffered another blow when the \u201cQ Research\u201d forum on 8kun, QAnon\u2019s online home, was wiped clean by a site moderator, who said in a rambling screed that ‘I am just performing euthanasia to something I once loved very very much.\u2019 Shortly after, the site\u2019s leaders restored the deleted material and demanded the moderator\u2019s death.\u201d<\/p>\n Instead of the joy and camaraderie once exhibited by followers of \u201cQ\u201d, comments on social media turned to feelings of desolation, betrayal and abandonment. New cries arose. \u201cI\u2019m about to puke.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s over and nothing makes sense\u2026 absolutely nothing.\u201d \u201cI feel like I\u2019m losing my mind. I don\u2019t know what to believe anymore.\u201d \u201cI think we have been fooled like no other. Hate to say it. Held onto hope til this very moment.\u201d \u201cAnyone else feeling beyond let down right now? It\u2019s like being a kid and seeing the big gift under the tree thinking it is exactly what you want only to open it and realize it was a lump of coal the whole time.\u201d \u201cNo plan, no Q, nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n You know, I’m free, free now, baby Sigh\u2026there is more. Some \u201cQ\u201d supporters, ever conscientious and unwavering in their devotion to the benevolent \u201cQ\u201d, believe that The Dear Orange Leader will still be sworn into office on March 4th. Some believe that General Michael Flynn will uphold his promise for a surprise by the end of January. Some stick to the hope that secret military operations will uproot traitors up through April. Some are counting on Congressional Representatives like Marjorie Taylor-Greene to hold steady to their beliefs in Congress. Some believe President Biden is actually working alongside The Orange Dementor. \u201cTrust the plan\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n Yeah, like a wise man once said, \u201cI\u2019m about to puke.\u201d<\/p>\n The orange monstrosity once recited lyrics by Oscar Williams, Jr.\u2019s \u201cThe Snake\u201d to his ever adoring crowd, including adherents to \u201cQ\u201d. The lyrics are as follows:<\/p>\n “Take me in, tender woman Take heed\u2026<\/p>\n [si-contact-form form=’2’]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [AdSense-A] By Maya J.

\nIt’s gone away from me<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\nThe thrill is gone, baby<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\nThe thrill is gone away from me<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\nAlthough, I’ll still live on<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\nBut so lonely I’ll be<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
\nI’m free from your spell
\nOh, free, free, free now, baby
\nI’m free from your spell
\nAnd now that it’s all over
\nAll that I can do is wish you well<\/p>\n
\nTake me in, for heaven’s sake
\nTake me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake
\nShe clutched him to her bosom, “You’re so beautiful,” she cried
\n“But if I hadn’t brought you in by now you might have died”
\nShe stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight
\nInstead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious bite
\n“Take me in, tender woman
\nTake me in, for heaven’s sake
\nTake me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake
\n“I saved you,” cried the woman
\n“And you’ve bitten me, but why?
\nYou know your bite is poisonous and now I’m going to die”
\n“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin
\n“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.\u201d<\/p>\n
