National Guard Braces Over QAnon March 4th Threats

Salon reports:

Nearly 5,000 National Guard troops are expected to stay in Washington for at least another three weeks amid concerns over potential violence from QAnon adherents, some of whom believe former President Donald Trump will be inaugurated on March 4.

It was the only hotel in the nation’s capital to increase rates for those days — and has not increased them on surrounding days. The hotel similarly raised its prices dramatically for Jan. 5 and 6, the dates around the deadly Capitol riot.

Since inauguration, major QAnon forums have largely devolved into something very simple: read the news, imagine the opposite, and construct a reality around it.

Their world is now filled with holograms, clones, doubles.
