You may have thought that Republican former President Donald Trump finally admitting he lost the election and leaving the White House just hours before Joe Biden was sworn in might change QAnon adherents' minds. If so, think again.

In the wake of the defeat of everything they have been told would come to pass, the ever-faithful conspiracy theorists have done the opposite of take the hint that they've been conned.


Instead, they're doubling-down: They are now convinced Trump will somehow be made President again on March 4th. Mark your calendars!


The new theory that states Trump will be re-installed is bizarre even for QAnon, a group that believes the world is run by a race of reptile-human hybrids that Trump and an elite group of patriots are working to defeat, among other truly unhinged things.

The new theory began circulating recently on social media apps with the hashtags #march4th and #19thpresident. If that second hashtag has you scratching your head, prepare yourself for some truly strange stuff.

QAnon's new theory states an act signed in 1871 secretly changed the US from a country to a corporation, of which Trump will become the 19th president.

Why the 19th president and not the 46th, or 45th 2.0 or 45th Part Two: Electric Boogaloo, or something?

Well it's all very simple, you see. The US became a corporation during the tenure of Ulysses S. Grant, who was the 18th president. So, naturally, Trump will be the 19th, as all subsequent presidencies since Grant are invalid.

It all makes perfect sense!

Now why is this all happening on March 4th?

Well, because that was the original Inauguration Day before the passing of the 20th Amendment in 1933, which according to QAnon is invalid because it was signed during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who secretly sold the US to a cabal of mysterious foreign adversaries.

But all of that, as insane as it is, isn't even the worst part of the story.

QAnon's newest obsession overlaps with the "sovereign citizen" movement. It holds that because of this nefarious transformation of the US into a corporation in 1871, all laws passed after 1871 are invalid—especially those that followed from the 14th Amendment, which granted citizenship to slaves in 1868.

If your brain is melting, you're not alone—most of the internet is slack-jawed too.










The moral of the story is, never underestimate the power of propaganda and disinformation.

Who knows what Q will come up with next?

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
