Not a meme:

When one QAnon channel on the chat app Telegram posted a new theory that suggested Biden himself was "part of the plan," a number of followers shifted into open rebellion: "This will never happen." "Just stfu already!" "It's over. It is sadly, sadly over." "What a fraud!"

Late Wednesday, the movement suffered another blow when the "Qresearch" forum on 8kun, QAnon's 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." Shortly after, the site's leaders restored the deleted material and demanded the moderator's death.

Over thousands of cryptic posts since 2017, Q, QAnon's 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. Believers in these false, rambling theories had counted down the hours waiting for Trump to corral his enemies for military tribunals and mass executions in a show of force they called "the Storm."

But on Wednesday, as reality dawned, QAnon promoters who had gained thousands of online supporters by promising to decode Q's arcane posts - and profited off their audience, by selling QAnon merchandise or online subscriptions along the way - scrambled to spin the truth of Trump's election loss or shift the goal posts of a deadline four years in the making.

Some of the most notable figures in QAnon's online universe said they were having a change of heart. After Biden's inauguration, Ron Watkins - the longtime 8kun who critics have suspected may have helped write Q's posts himself, a charge he denies - said on Telegram that it was time to move on.

"We need to keep our chins up and go back to our lives as best we are able," said Watkins, who in recent months had become one of the loudest backers of conspiracy theories suggesting Biden's win was a fraud.

"We have a new president sworn in and it is our responsibility as citizens to respect the Constitution regardless of whether or not we agree with the specifics," Watkins added. "As we enter into the next administration please remember all the friends and happy memories we made together over the past few years."

Addressing approximately 1,000 political appointees during a virtual swearing-in ceremony on his first day in the White House, Biden said: “I’m not joking when I say this: If you ever work with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, I will fire you on the spot. No ifs, ands or buts.”

Politics doesn’t have to be a raging fire, destroying everything in its path. Every disagreement doesn’t have to be a cause for total war.”

Under former President Trump, administration officials, including the president himself, seemed to revel in political battles and personal attacks, directed at both Democrats and even fellow Republicans, using tweets and media appearances to insult their rivals. Trump was notoriously rude to officials after — or even before — they left the administration, demeaning them as weak, stupid or traitorous.
