| Hello everyone, Pogrom Politics here. | |
| Today I'm going to be talking about what I think QAnon's actually going to do after the election is over. | |
| Beyond that, I just wanted to talk about the kind of general anxiety and stress I feel like everyone's feeling right now as we get into the final weeks of this campaign that will determine if America is a fascist dictatorship or not. | |
| And I'm rooting for not-fascist dictatorship. | |
| That seems like the better of the two options. | |
| But, uh, the thing about it is, is that if you look at the incredible amounts of early voting, if you look at all the polling, if you look at everything that is logical and reasonable, you understand that Biden is in an incredible position to decisively win this election. | |
| And I understand the concerns. | |
| I understand the worry. | |
| I understand the fear, but. | |
| It's only fear because of the stakes involved. | |
| It's not fear based in rationality. | |
| It's not fear based off of the fact that it is likely that Trump will win. | |
| It is fear instead that what a Trump win means for America and for just society at large. | |
| I mean, Trump winning re-election is so damning and so devastating that it is terrifying to | |
| comprehend it. | |
| It's really awful. | |
| And I understand that. | |
| But at the same time, it feels like Biden is holding a king high straight flush in a | |
| game of five card draw and Trump just threw away four cards and literally has the ace | |
| of diamonds in his hand and has to hit a royal on a four card draw to win. | |
| Now, you will not be comfortable until he bricks out and doesn't make it, but the odds of that happening are, shall we say, not good. | |
| So that's, like, really what it's about. | |
| Deep breaths. | |
| Relaxation. | |
| Just do what you can. | |
| Vote. | |
| Get your friends to vote. | |
| Phone bank. | |
| Text. | |
| Just do what you can. | |
| Put in the work. | |
| And just let's all cross our fingers and toes that on November 3rd, Trump accepts his plight. | |
| He doesn't demand that the Proud Boys and the Boogaloos and all these other lunatics run out in the streets and start fighting for democracy. | |
| That Trump doesn't tweet out, the storm is upon us! | |
| And tries to get a couple hundred QAnon lunatics out there to shoot people or whatever. | |
| Let's just hope everything kind of goes fine. | |
| As it were. | |
| But I mean, until then we worry you worry because you don't know what's going to happen until after it's happened. | |
| So it's stressful, it's anxiety causing, it's worrisome and I understand all of it and I'm there with you but I'm also just pretty much of the mindset that Biden's gonna win and there's really no reason to think otherwise and I just want it to happen and be over with and we can move on with our lives. | |
| And then we can get to the actual work of trying to fix this fucking country. | |
| Now let's live in that happy world where Biden crushes it. | |
| What happens to QAnon? | |
| What happens that night? | |
| What happens the week after? | |
| I think what happens first and foremost is there's gonna be some freaking out. | |
| and there's going to be some panicking and there's going to be some people are going to get very upset | |
| but like julian's rum praying medic three days sather all the grifters | |
| i think they're going to come around to the idea that this was the ultimate trap | |
| Because of course it is. | |
| Of course it is. | |
| Of course it is. | |
| And the ultimate trap will catch the Democrats having committed obvious | |
| irrevocable voter fraud, and Trump's going to reveal that in the coming weeks. | |
| And then after a month passes and Trump's made mumble grumble noises but it's clear that the transition of power is happening and that Biden is going to get sworn in on January 20th. | |
| As November rolls into December and President-elect Biden hasn't been arrested yet, then it's gonna start getting really bad. | |
| Then the reality that this is a thing that happened, that Biden won the election, that it's not gonna get changed, that the Electoral College certifies his win, That's when people are going to start asking Q what the fuck. | |
| Like that's when it's going to get really bad because QAnon is very good at denying reality and we've all thought that oh the election will break them of their madness and in a way it will but in a way until Joe Biden's hand is on the Bible On January 20th, 2021, they can deny things. | |
| 2021 they can deny things but once that happens there's no more denying it. | |
| And once they realize that that is a thing that is going to happen and they cannot stop it, that's when, that's when this is going to get really bad. | |
| Because they're gonna, they're gonna just kind of shift out of where they are and shift into crazy town. | |
| Because, because this is the thing. | |
| There's no, um, there's no real, uh, possible way that this can be a avoided like they're going to have to deal with the fact that they're not going to get what they want. | |
| They're not going to get Hillary and Obama dangling from ropes in Guantanamo Bay along with everybody else that all the people they hate are not going to be brutally murdered on their behalf by Donald Trump. | |
| And that's it. | |
| I mean, that's all there is to it. | |
| And that when they don't get the payoff, now we get real ugly. | |
| Now we go down the dark roads. | |
| Now we get down to the bad places. | |
| Because that is the core of QAnon. | |
| It's victory. | |
| It's vengeance. | |
| It's validation. | |
| It's winning. | |
| And it's all going to be taken away from them. | |
| It's all going to be denied them so brutally on the transition period. | |
| In the transition period, I should say. | |
| Election night will be bad. | |
| I mean, there are going to be some where it's not going to fucking stand it. | |
| There are going to be some people are just going to snap. | |
| And they're not going to let Julian or Mattak or anyone tell them, oh no, no, it's a trap, it's a trap. | |
| They're going to be like, fuck your traps. | |
| I'm sick of traps. | |
| I've heard about traps for fucking three goddamn years and those traps have come out and fuck it, fuck it, fuck it. | |
| Grabbing my AR-15 and looking for some freedom. | |
| But because the vast majority of QAnon are lazy and slothful and don't want to do anything unless they actually have to, they're the ones who are going to just kind of play it out. | |
| And it's going to be very interesting to see what Q actually does. | |
| I mean, it's going to be very interesting to see what Q does in the lead up to the election and then after the election. | |
| Because our super secret spy, our great hero, has decided to take a day off. | |
| He's taking a few days off, actually. | |
| Last time Q posted was the 22nd, and now it is the 25th as I'm recording this. | |
| So Q has taken two of the last, like, 14 days of this presidential election off. | |
| He's gotta relax, gotta just calm down. | |
| And one of his last Q jokes was him whining about the forum. | |
| Not being nice enough for him. | |
| Literally just Ron or Jim Watkins like pouting. | |
| So I mean, it's just that. | |
| It's just really going to be interesting because Q can do anything. | |
| I mean, Q could say that the deep state beat them and we need to go out into the streets. | |
| Q could play the voter fraud card. | |
| I mean, Q did this in 2018. | |
| Said that Kristen Sinema won her seat illegitimately in Arizona and then didn't do anything about it, which is what I want out of my super secret spy. | |
| I want him to tell me that, um, Hey everybody, this lady cheated to win her seat. | |
| And then the next thing you know, he's just like, Oh, well, you know, She cheated to win her seat, but I ain't gonna actually, you know, like, stop her or anything, because that would just be excessive. | |
| That would just be crazy. | |
| And if Q does that, if Q tries to play the vote rigging game and he tries to | |
| string them along with, we're going to arrest them once we've exposed their | |
| fraud. | |
| Gives us a little bit longer but it's uh it's not gonna last. | |
| It's not gonna be something that is sustainable because it's obviously not true and it will show itself to not be true as time goes. | |
| Because that's what happens in these situations. | |
| We're under a deadline. | |
| After the election, there's going to be basically three months, pretty much, of transition. | |
| And that's the deadline that Q and QAnon will be under for the big payoff that they're now absolutely not going to get and they absolutely have to have. | |
| So, just, it's going to be a lot of fun. | |
| Could be really interesting to see how they handle all of this. | |
| It's not going to be handled in a very adult fashion, let's say that. | |
| It's not going to be very fun. | |
| All kinds of awful possibilities. | |
| Oh boy, it's not good. | |
| I'm just stuck, stuck in this sad reverie, just thinking about what's going to happen to these people who've been lied to for so long about this stuff. | |
| And they get to find out they're being lied to in the worst possible ways. | |
| Um, because that's just the nature of a cult. | |
| It's the nature of deception. | |
| It's the nature of having people led by the nose for as long as possible in a false belief, and then they have to confront the fact that everything they believed in was a lie. | |
| And that's it. | |
| These people now have to try to deal with it. | |
| I mean, and just think about how terrible that's going to be. | |
| I mean, and I mean this in all honesty. | |
| I mean this like very much sincerely. | |
| Like if you are a QAnon follower, if you believe in this stuff and November 3rd rolls around and Trump just gets rolled. | |
| Now you might be told, oh yeah, it was fake, fraud, oh, we got the cabal right where we want them, the arrests are coming now, blah, blah, blah. | |
| But now you know. | |
| Your family, who you've been harassing for like two years about this stuff, they were right, you were wrong. | |
| The people that were telling you that COVID was real and you should wear a mask, they were right, you were wrong. | |
| All of these things. | |
| All of these problems are yours to deal with now. | |
| You were living in this fever dream that you were going to be validated. | |
| You were going to be made right. | |
| And now you're not right. | |
| You are as far from right as you could possibly be. | |
| And that sucks. | |
| That really sucks. | |
| There's gonna be a lot of shame, a lot of hurt, a lot of suffering. | |
| And I don't want those people to be kicked while they're down. | |
| The praying medics and the Geddes' and all those people, fuck them! | |
| I will gladly dunk on them all day. | |
| But Grandma, who got into this crap, or your dear sweet aunt, who never really liked Hillary, but now that she knows she's a pedophile, she hates her even more. | |
| Those poor people. | |
| They're going to need to be talked to. | |
| This is the projection of QAnon. | |
| They always talk about how the normies are going to have to be comforted when the truth comes out. | |
| This is the truth. | |
| The truth is that they were the ones being fed a bunch of bullshit, and they're the ones who are going to have to be comforted and brought back into reality in order to make society a better place, as it were. | |
| Get your uh allow your your children to have their grandparents back and all that kind of good stuff i mean just everything about that just it's crummy it's crummy what these people have done to these poor people and i really would like I don't know. | |
| For this not to have been the case. | |
| Because that... Because it's just terrible. | |
| It's just terrible what's happened. | |
| It's terrible QAnon was ever a thing. | |
| I swear I don't have COVID. | |
| That was just dry throat. | |
| Honest. | |
| So, uh, anyhow, I am very tired. | |
| So, uh, and I've accidentally activated a, uh, audio thing that played a little bit of the Dodgers, uh, blowing game four of the world series in hilarious fashion. | |
| That was incredible. | |
| If you didn't see it, uh, highly recommend watching. | |
| Uh, most important thing that's ever happened, pretty much, in baseball. | |
| Like, short of a game seven, as it were. | |
| Bottom of the ninth, two outs, and a guy hits a ball, and the other team commits an unbelievable series of errors to make them, uh, win. | |
| While the team that got the hit also has their guy literally fall down on his way to home plate, and he's gonna be out by a mile, but then the other team drops the ball. | |
| So it's just, just crazy. | |
| Just absolutely crazy. | |
| So, anyhow, having segued to that and now away from that thanks to my crushing lack of professionalism, let's look at some questions. | |
| The Grand Inquisitor of the podcast, A.I.S. | |
| Millard Spooky says, How much of QAnon do you think was inevitable, created by demand for an alternate reality and trying times, and how much is a result of social media pushing people into it? | |
| QAnon was, I think, 100% inevitable. | |
| It grew. | |
| The algorithms drawing people into it helped grow it, but you have to remember that ever since Bill Clinton got elected president, the right wing in America has lived in this bullshit. | |
| The Clinton body count, Vince Foster, Rush Limbaugh gravely intoning that there was a murder involved somewhere along the line. | |
| This was a thing that these people had been living for and living in for a long time. | |
| And for it to not have been, uh, monestetized or infer not to have become, this would have been very, very difficult. | |
| It's very interesting how it did happen, though. | |
| I find the fact that the Illuminati New World Order got, uh, just slathered in with Donald Trump was very weird. | |
| It's very, very interesting that that was, like, the payoff. | |
| That, like, that Trump's gonna kill all our enemies and that's the win. | |
| It's a pretty bleak outcome. | |
| Pretty dark way to see the world, but that's what they did. | |
| dead. | |
| And it's going to crash and burn, but the Illuminati will never die, which is a real | |
| big problem here. | |
| you He also asks, off topic question, which map do you like best in Among Us? | |
| Which vent system do you think provides the best gameplay? | |
| I just play the first map. | |
| I'm a total first map noob scrub. | |
| Whatever you want to call me. | |
| I have played the other two maps a little, but not enough to ever have a good feel for it. | |
| The big problem is, is that I've been playing a lot of just random public games, and people just leave when they're not the imposter. | |
| The game's not that fun, blah blah blah. | |
| So, I need an Among Us crew. | |
| So, Tuesday night, probably, or Wednesday night, I'm going to try to get a group of people together to do some Among Us. | |
| Because the game's just much better when you actually have, like, I'd say ten really dedicated people that are just playing. | |
| We'll bang out a few games and and and we can have a queue for the group as it were so if some people drop out others can get in and that makes the game better and being able to talk on vent discord whatever so that you can discuss the killings When the game is played kind of seriously, it makes it way more fun in my mind. | |
| Whereas when people are just, like, fucking off and disconnecting because they didn't get Impostor and people have no idea. | |
| They're like, oh, I was in a room with someone. | |
| Who? | |
| I don't know. | |
| I mean, that just drives me to a wall. | |
| Unless I'm the Impostor, then I just win because they're not taking me seriously enough. | |
| So yeah, that is, like, my view of the maps of Among Us, as it were. | |
| I've been watching a bunch of people playing and stuff like that, and I've seen, like, streams where it's eight people and one imposter, and the imposter always loses, and it just seems really, like, unfun to play the game in such a way where one side cannot win. | |
| So, I think 10 players, 2 imposters is the fairest way to play the game, and that's what I would want to do. | |
| KaliMash... I don't know what you'd call that. | |
| Like, weed emoji, sun emoji, moon emoji, fire emoji, dragon emoji says this. | |
| I mean, holy war can cover a lot of ground. | |
| The problem is, is that I don't see the photo. | |
| It's blacked out on my screen. | |
| And when I try to display the image, it's like, nope, not going to show it to you. | |
| So I just don't know what you were trying to show me. | |
| So I am at a loss. | |
| Unless the Patriots were censoring it. | |
| Chairman Walkman's inquisitive question account asks, approximately how many Smurfs do you think Mitch McConnell ate? | |
| Seven. | |
| He ate exactly seven Smurfs, and I will not be dissuaded from this belief. | |
| Serious question, we love to make fun of these people as keyboard warriors but how much real life chaos could they inspire if their god emperor loses? | |
| I really think that the amount of damage they will do is lone wolf problem shit. | |
| But the problem is that this is America where you're given an AR-15 on your 12th birthday because freedom and all that other bullshit. | |
| It really depends on how much prep work these idiots do before they just walk out of their car and start shooting people. | |
| I mean, the Christchurch shootings in New Zealand, that was just an idiot kid with a GoPro and a gun, and he managed to kill so many people. | |
| And that's the thing I really worry about with QAnon is that you're going to have people just losing their shit over this. | |
| And I just don't think they're going to be able to pull off in Oklahoma City or any actual sophisticated domestic terrorism. | |
| But lone wolf, just shoot shit terrorism? | |
| Totally, totally something that's going to happen. | |
| Let's see, um, I have a second one. | |
| This batch of photos from Calvimash, or Cathmash is the tag, is the handle, says those sick bastards burned them at the stake. | |
| There have been some tweets as if someone was trying to say this may affect the religious center of the brain. | |
| I'm looking at this and it seems like they're predicting internet cyber attacks trying to wipe everything online may happen soon. | |
| I have heard that if the vaccine is tied to the Mark of the Beast by the New World Order, that this would be a result. | |
| Once you take it, you are incapable of receiving or being cut off from salvation because your soul would be cut off from God Almighty, worth serious complications. | |
| They've always talked about this. | |
| They've always talked about how some terrible device of the Illuminati New World Order will cut you off from the divine and trap you into Satan's embrace. | |
| And trying to deal with that is really important. | |
| Which, uh... Yeah, the divine. | |
| In fact, the idea that man could cut you off from God is absurd and ridiculous. | |
| OnePingOnly says, Are you for Trump? | |
| Reasons for or against? | |
| Let's move beyond Q. Um... No. | |
| No. | |
| We will not move beyond Q. | |
| Because Trump is a Q supporter. | |
| He is a Q believer. | |
| He pushes Q. He endorses Q. He accepts Q. So you trying to make excuses for Trump and trying to deflect away from Q is disingenuous and dishonest. | |
| No. | |
| Trump is a QAnon supporter and to support Trump is to support Q. So, nope, none of that. | |
| Sorry. | |
| Finally, Jay Park says, I'm a Brit following from a seafish distance. | |
| What I would like to know is the Evangelical churches seem all powerful in the U.S. | |
| How far do you think this thing penetrates in the Evangelical churches in the U.S.? | |
| I imagine a lot of them will block at certain aspects of QAnon. | |
| There's a lot of crossover because QAnon is designed to crossover. | |
| Q is religious. | |
| Q themselves quotes the Bible constantly. | |
| It is a new form of Christianity. | |
| An ugly, violent, murderous form of Christianity. | |
| The Wahhabism of Christianity. | |
| It is not great. | |
| I think churches have to be very careful and have to be very cognizant of QAnon and seek to stop it from Spreading inside their churches or else it can become very damaging and undermine the faith the religious authority of the leader of that church because QAnon is brain can't it's a brain virus. | |
| It is a cancer. | |
| It is terrible. | |
| So I I think churches need to be very proactive about it and denouncing it and condemning it as a fraudulent way to talk about God and talk about faith. | |
| Because, again, QAnon's all about violence and murder, and Jesus was kind of against those things. | |
| So, can't have both sides of this issue. | |
| So that is Ye Olde Pouty Caste for tonight, because I'm going to fall asleep in a few minutes. | |
| But if you enjoyed listening to me try to get through this as best I could in spite of my work schedule, which has been not great, and just my sleep schedule, which has also been not great. | |
| I do thank you, appreciate you, and hope you'll support me on Patreon.com slash PokerPolitics. | |
| If I am unworthy of your cold hard cash, please donate to Love146.org, a human trafficking group that actually fights the good fight that QAnon lies about. | |
| And as you may have seen on my Twitter feed, pretty much every anti-human trafficking organization fucking hates QAnon for being the pieces of shit that they are. | |
| Beyond that, phone bank for Democrats, donate to Democrats, vote for Democrats. | |
| Democrats are our weapon in this war right now. | |
| Can we find other weapons later? | |
| Maybe yes. | |
| If you're in Massachusetts, vote yes on two for ranked choice voting and allow us to begin the process of unifying the left wing into one coherent weapon against the right instead of the constant backbiting and infighting that we always have between Greens and Democrats. | |
| So having said all of that, I am going to call it a day. | |
| I'll be back on Tuesday night. | |
| Actually, Monday night I'm going to do a solo pod. | |
| About what? | |
| Don't know. | |
| But it'll be awesome, I promise. | |
| And then Tuesday, the three man, we will rock that stuff. | |
| And we're getting in the Q-Drop Fit 34! | |
| The big payoffs! | |
| The big booms! | |
| They're coming! | |
| It's going to be so spicy! |
