Hundreds of QAnon believers descended on the city on Tuesday, convinced they would witness the return of JFK Jr., who died in 1999.
This prophecywhich is considered too extreme even by some other members of the conspiracy theory movementposits that JFK Jr. faked his death in a plane crash and would return to run as Donald Trump's vice president in 2024 and help usher in a new era of American prosperity.
On Tuesday, QAnon followers arrived at the site of JFK's assassination on November 22, 1963Dealey Plaza in Dallasexpecting to see JFK. Jr.
The prophecy was promoted by QAnon Telegram channels with hundreds of thousands of followers, including the Negative48 and Whiplash347 accounts.
After JFK Jr. failed to appear at Dealey Plaza, because he died more than two decades ago, QAnon followers moved the goalposts yet again to share a new prediction.
Numerous accounts across several Telegram channels seen by Newsweek claimed that JFK and his son would reveal themselves to the world at a Rolling Stones concert in Dallas on Tuesday night.

I'm now convinced that someone *HAS* to be fucking with these people. I'd do it but I'm not that creative.

But sure, why not? Minor details and such.

(115,658 posts)Keith Richards is JFK Sr.? Granted, Keith looks about 104 years old (the age JFK would be if he hadn't been shot in public at Dealey Plaza, dead and thoroughly autopsied in 1963), but he's always looked like that. I still don't get why the Q-nuts didn't gather in boats off the shore of Martha's Vineyard to wait for JFK Jr. to rise from the sea, instead of assembling at Dealey Plaza (to wait for Keith Richards? I'm so confused).

(100,054 posts)Do these morons not know the history of the Kennedy family? JFK is probably rolling in his grave at that thought.

I posted in another thread here on DU that JFK, Jackie and JFK Jr were turning over in their graves.

(58,785 posts)and we are them. Decades of projection of their sins on us, and adoption of Democratic virtues as theirs.
Obviously theirs are not the first, or even the 2800th, generations prone to this behavior.
