This past Friday, far-right conspiracy theorists held the "For God and Country Patriot Double Down" conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. A key feature of the convention was the QAnon mass delusion, which hinges on the belief that former President Donald Trump was sent by God to expose a covert network of satanic cannibal pedophiles secretly controlling the United States government.
Among the conference's speakers was Couy Griffin, the founder of Cowboys for Trump, who once said that Trump was "divinely chosen" to rule the nation. Griffin was among the rioters in the deadly failed insurrection against the United States Capitol, spurred by Trump's election lies.
As a result, Griffin was arrested and held in jail before being released until the conclusion of his trial.
At the conference, the Cowboys for Trump founder alluded to his stint in jail in a diatribe excoriating Trump for failing to "lock up" former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, whom QAnon believers insist is one of the principal operators of the "Deep State."

He told the crowd:
"We supported President Trump for his fight for justice as well, and for four years we cried 'lock her up. Lock her up. Lock her up.' We know she's a criminal. What did the president tell us? 'If I was in charge, you'd be in jail. Ok, Mr. President, you've been in charge of the law for four years. At the end of your four year time, the only ones locked up were men like me, and others like me, that have stood by the president the strongest."'
QAnon believers have been repeatedly disappointed after years of waiting for Trump to expose the nonexistent Deep State cannibals for supposed crimes against humanity, resulting in mass arrests and a new world order.
People mocked Griffin for apparently realizing Trump's promises were hollow.
As the founder of Gullible Rubes for Trump, I\u2019m also starting to have some concerns.https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1452393600495636483\u00a0\u2026— CJ Ciaramella (@CJ Ciaramella) 1635169339
Cowboys for Trump leader is upset that Conald didn\u2019t lock Hillary up and, instead, locked up real criminals from Jan 6th.

Some speculated that Trump's followers were finally being disillusioned.
Oh look. They\u2019re starting to figure it out.https://twitter.com/ronfilipkowski/status/1452393600495636483\u00a0\u2026— MeidasTouch.com (@MeidasTouch.com) 1635113296
One of the former guy\u2019s biggest miscalculations was how much these ppl believed the bs & divisiveness he was selling. He\u2019s a rich kid from New York. He has no clue how things really are on the south and Midwest. Glad they\u2019re turning on him. However misguided the rationale may be.https://twitter.com/ronfilipkowski/status/1452393600495636483\u00a0\u2026— Rex Chapman\ud83c\udfc7\ud83c\udffc (@Rex Chapman\ud83c\udfc7\ud83c\udffc) 1635112894
Are they *finally* waking up to the truth about the con artist they worshiped?https://twitter.com/ronfilipkowski/status/1452393600495636483\u00a0\u2026— Scott Nevins (@Scott Nevins) 1635171603
