QAnon followers puzzled by Cohen guilty pleas

QAnon Leaders Crack Down on Mentions of Cohen After He Turned on Trump

Michael Cohen’s guilty plea Tuesday shook up believers in the QAnon conspiracy theory, who had previously believed special counsel Robert Mueller was secretly working with President Donald Trump, not investigating him.

Along with the conviction of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort on the same day, the Cohen plea left QAnon believers questioning whether they had been wrong to place all their hope in an anonymous internet poster.

In response, QAnon leaders on Reddit responded by cracking down on any mention of Cohen’s guilty plea, which was made with federal prosecutors in Manhattan—not Mueller.

But how, QAnon believers wondered, could sending Cohen and Manafort to prison amount to a win for Trump?
“Q, you have claimed that you are in control, can you explain how this helps the good guys???” pleaded one user on TheGreatAwakening, the main subreddit for QAnon supporters.

Damn, but reality is hard to deal with when delusion is so much more agreeable. QAnon nitwits: Karma is rolling now, and isn't fucking around. Buckle up.

Shoot,.. that is a shit load tons of wasted prayers, to the wrong God, and the wrong direction in the heavens.

Well no wonder things have not been going in our favor and we are being so badly vanquished. The Gods are very angry at us ......or confused.
