1/ This post was shared by a QAnon channel on Telegram. The post itself is nothing special, it's a typical QAnon decode where apparently SCOTUS will be filling on the election results tomorrow and the yellow tie is a clue. What is interesting is the discussion in the comments.

2/ There was some "Hopeium" about how Trump is buying time or the court process needs to fail before the military steps in etc. However, there is is a lot more anger & frustration around the lack of results from Q, on how SCOTUS has failed patriot's after four years of no results

3/ The conversation around how SCOTUS has failed Q and patriot's is the interesting part, it hilights how QAnon disinfo & propaganda has eroded trust in democratic institutions as some in the movement do not believe that Q was wrong or Q was a lie. Rather SCOTUS failed them

4/ they blame SCOTUS for the lack of arrests, for the lack of results, for the fact that the election was "stolen by Biden and the Dems". They are claiming that the constitution means nothing to SCOTUS and they are all corrupt. This is a shift from a few weeks ago.

5/ this goes to show how much the QAnon ideology is resilient to facts. Adherents do not see the issue being with Q, but with the democraric institutions that Trump and Q were suppose to use to defeat the Deep State.

6/ this erorion of trust in democratic institutions is an important factor when considering things like radicalization to violence, for if you donct believe that there are legal or political solutions, you might be more likely to seek out or be more acceptant of violent solutions

7/ Eroding trust in democratic institutions is an important component of QAnon that is not discussed enough. This does not only apply to VE, but also applies to the public health crisis as QAnon does not respect the institutions responsible to bring the pandemic to an end.

8/ part of preventing something like QAnon needs to involve bolstering the resilience of our democratic institutions, as QAnon's ideology is resilient to failed prophesies, is resilient to facts, is resilient to evidence and all of this erodes the value of democracy to QAnon.
