As Mr. Biden took office and Mr. Trump landed in Florida, with no mass arrests in sight, some QAnon believers struggled to harmonize the falsehoods (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/10/technology/qanon-election-trump.html) with the inauguration on their TVs.
Valerie Gilbert posts dozens of times a day in support of QAnon. Her story hints at how hard it will be (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/17/technology/qanon-meme-queen.html?searchResultPosition=4) to bring people like her back to reality.
