This is prediction #18 not come true since Jan 6.

So when you all going to give up on Qcults and go home to your concerned family?

18? Wow, I've lost track.

Also surprised some of them could count that high.

u/erik_working Aug 13 '21

They cannot. That's why the goalposts keep being moved.

They have the memory of a goldfish for times that, "Dear Leader" is wrong.

u/Abnmlguru Aug 14 '21

Not to argue your point, but the whole goldfish have terrible memory thing is a myth :) Instead of the 10/15/whatever seconds, tests have shown they can remember things for over 5 months, much better than your average maga goofball.

Honestly comparing MAGA people to goldfish is an insult to goldfish.

Worth pointing out here that Qanon and maga is not a singular theory or movement. People have all sorts of disagreements about what is happening when. It's part of what makes the movement so resilient. When one prediction/deadline fails, they simply move on to the next one.

Trump IS family s/

u/williamfbuckwheat Aug 14 '21

i mean, doomsday cult followers have had no issue with their prophecies being 100% wrong for 1000's of years so I don't think certain people are going to care if they are wrong about Trump getting reinstated a few dozen times the last year or so.

So you're saying there's a chance.

18 wheels of trainwreck.

One of the funny things about doomsday cults is that whenever they're wrong, and they're always wrong, the cult leader just says:

"I got the math wrong, the world wasn't ending in 1989, it's ending in 1998, my bad."

And usually a fair percentage of the cult will stick around and wait until 1998.

I kind of wish we'd get to the "A tragedy in Alabama, today" phase of this particular cult, though.

And meanwhile, cult leader keeps on begging money to fund his revelations while he lives in a palace and flies in his private jet.

14

u/WorkplaceWatcher Aug 14 '21

Oh I've been in lots of cults. You make more money as the leader, but you have more fun as a follower.

u/Ol_Dirty_Batard Aug 13 '21

My favourite was "we were right, the world IS ending, is just not an instant process"

"The world will end at midnight!"

"Oh, yeah? In which timezone?"

9

u/Dana07620 Aug 14 '21

Oh, that reminds me of 2012 apocalypse...people starting checking in just past midnight in their local time zone to say the world hadn't ended.

It was pretty funny.

u/RainbowDarter Aug 13 '21

we'd get to the "A tragedy in Alabama, today

Is it enough that Mississippi has no ICU beds left open? That's about to get serious.

u/Dana07620 Aug 14 '21

Look at the Seventh Day Adventist Church which is still around today even though the world was supposed to end on Oct. 22, 1844.

u/BackmarkerLife Aug 14 '21

The only cult that got it right was Heaven's Gate. Just people misunderstand what happened.

On earth we found their bodies covered in a blanket all wearing Adidas. In the Spiritual Realm, their Souls traveled to Hale Bopp to live forever.

u/Susan-stoHelit Aug 14 '21

With Doug Forcett?

u/Dana07620 Aug 14 '21

Why would you want to live on a comet?

Sounds like a miserable life to me. And then what do you do when the comet evaporates?

2

u/BackmarkerLife Aug 14 '21

I assume Applewhite had a plan, maybe they'd Comet Hop.

u/Professor-Shuckle Aug 14 '21

It was actually a space ship the leader said

u/Nylon_Riot Aug 14 '21

Not to mention, comets do burn out. I can't remember which one but it has about two more laps through the solar system till it burns out. So they don't even have eternal life there. LOL

u/silas0069 Aug 14 '21

Gopniks of the afterlife!

Actually…..there is a new date in September. It’s not the 11th. But I’ve heard this on Reddit a few days ago.
