I’m flabbergasted. I hoped this group would disband when JFK didn’t reappear, but that was ages ago and it’s become increasingly apparent that these people desperately need to be led. This time by a child.

CPS should investigate her mother. Though I suppose on what grounds? She’s essentially the same as those kids with YT channels, an influencer, so to speak. I’m so bummed out by this.

Bro a cargo cult formed around a failed towel store that was objectively bankrupt. Nothing is off the table.

The motivation behind both movements is the same: Tricking gullible people out of their money. Once the dumb-dumb money runs out, they'll both go tits up like The Colonel.

You need to stop thinking logically. Groups like this are only emboldened and their beliefs strengthened when events don't happen when they are expected to happen. If they were mentally stable they would shrug their shoulders, say welp guess it's not going to happen and go on with their lives, they aren't, so they don't, instead they double down on it and push the date out further or otherwise explain away the event not happening.

It's almost as if reality news is converging with Onion news. Each passing year it just gets worse.

We truly do live in the most bizarre timeline.

JFK, like the JFK? The one who had his head blown off while driving through Texas? That JFK?

Don’t be stupid, that’s impossible, he has been dead a while now!
No they are awaiting the return of JFK Junior (the Democrat one that died in a plane crash). I can almost literally hear you think.. that guy died in 1999 right? Yes.
But he is Jesus Trump’s true apostle, and expected to return in ~~2021~~ ~~2022~~ 2023.

I took a random article from a Duck search fyi: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/11/02/qanon-jfk-jr-dallas/

Oh no, there's enough of them who also think JFK isn't dead, is somehow not ancient, and has been secretly fighting the Deep State for the past 60 years after faking his death dramatically.

It was a silly attempt at humour, but you’re absolutely right.

Ah yes, the resurrection is usually easier the fresher the corpse.

These people should've read fantasy novels instead of trying to live one. How bored are they?

This plan would be great if they could read or were willing to.

Parents should lose custody.

Not surprising, probably the most intelligent and mature among them.
