I've seen the sucker at the table a thousand times. How it happened doesn't matter, what matters is he started the hand with a huge stack and now he has next to nothing left in front of him, one card to come, and a huge pot in the middle of the table begging him to try to win it.

He's got almost no chips and almost no hope. His opponents are clearly strong, they got the goods. It's a question of which one of them is going to take the pot down. He's an afterthought to the people that matter, but in this moment he's living in his own personal hell.

He has no choice but to throw in those last few chips and hope for a miracle. That there is a card left in the deck that can somehow save him and turn this thing around. To cut his losses now would be foolish, cause he's already lost almost everything.

The pot is offering him huge odds and he can't back down. So in those last few chips go. He's "Pot Stuck" and the only open is to go all-in and hope for the best.

He's every QAnon promoter dealing with what tomorrow will bring. They've spent years selling Trump as the answer to all the world's problems and now they know it's all going to fall apart. Some have 'gone dark' others keep tweeting that victory draw near but they all know.

They are stuck with no other options. They have a losing hand and they can't fold it. To admit defeat now would be foolish when you still have an audience to placate and an image to maintain.

They all know they will be dunked on hard tomorrow and that's part of the risk they took, but that doesn't really matter. What matters is how can they keep their followers following them. Now they need a new "Solution" to the Deep State "Problem".

Folks like Alex Jones and Glenn Beck have no problem in these times. They flip the switch and tell you the Cabal is going to win and they start selling you storable food and gold. They make a buck off you cosplaying as a Doomsday Prepper.

How does Praying Medic sell his books, how does Geddes sell his calendars (And his 'post-Storm' consulting business?) how do all the podcasts/streams/content get made when the core belief of the movement is proven to be false?

How do they rebuild after they go broke? What's next for them? Either they are torturing themselves thinking about it or it's too painful to comprehend so they will deny reality till Biden gives his inaugural address.

The Great Pivot will require handling two extremely difficult issues. The first issue is what to do with Trump in a post Trump Presidency. This will be tricky because QAnon followers run the gamut of "Trump 2024 will fix everything." to "To allow Biden to become POTUS is treason"

The three paths are "Trump is still fighting the good fight but now from outside the government he can do this (wish fulfillment/fantasy) that he was denied while President!" Which will appeal to the dead-ender MAGA folks, but who is to say what Trump's power/health will be?

"Trump tried but failed, we underestimated the Cabal's power" will be the attempt to thread the needle between the MAGA crowd and the NWO crowd. Gotta let everyone know they were right on some points. It will be interesting to see if compromise is successful in QAnon.

Finally will come the "Trump was in on it/sold us out" line of reasoning. This will attract the hardcore NWO folks but the question is how big are they in the QAnon movement? Can that level of doom and gloom be marketable to enough people to be worthwhile?

After they make that choice comes the second part of the Great Pivot. How do they sell hope in a hopeless world? QAnon told us that Trump and Trump alone could save the flame of freedom from being snuffed out for forever.

How can they promise victory when it's clear they've been defeated. How can they turn this around and keep the likes, comments, and (most importantly) donations coming? That's the issue they have to confront.

Selling themselves as The Solution will take a lot of work. So many of them have said they are just 'average Joes' and nothing special, while the LARP'ers have largely been mocked as LARPs.

Maybe they'll shift the mantle of hero to Flynn, or Marjorie Taylor Greene, or some other public figure QAnon can agree on as being a hero that will save the day. Whoever they pick will be a massive step down from "The President"

Whatever they decide to do, whatever their plan for the post Trump Presidency world is, it will be far different than what they are doing today. They got less than 24 hours to keep partying before the bill finally comes due.

Go Pack Go.
