Despite the days passing uneventfully with Trump sitting in retirement in Florida and Biden doing his job in the White House, the more hardcore believers of QAnon continued insisting that executions, military operations and the dramatic return of Trump was just around the corner. A new date was selected for Trump's victory over his perceived enemies: March 4. This particular date was arrived at by using sovereign citizen logic. Since (according to them) the United States ceased to be a real country in 1871, every government since then has been illegitimate. QAnon supporters latched onto this theory, using it as evidence that Biden is NOT the President, and that March 4 (the old date for Presidential inaugurations, used until 1933) is the inauguration date of the true Republic.<a href="#cite_note-245">[239]</a> (Of course, by this logic, Trump could never have been a legitimate President either, since he himself was inaugurated on 20 January 2017, on the "false" inauguration date of a "non-existent" country. Not that this seems to bother any of these people...) There is absolutely no credible evidence to support any of these claims<a href="#cite_note-246">[240]</a> but they nonetheless became wildly popular amongst believers desperate for any ray of hope. The social media posts about March 4 being significant even caught the attention of security forces in Washington (who decided to stick around until March 12 partly because of this)<a href="#cite_note-247">[241]</a> and also the Trump International Hotel in DC, which seemed eager to capitalize on the potential influx of Trump fanatics.

Nah, he's pretty damn dead, but QAnon followers have found a bizarre way to work him into their inane imaginings. Hardcore Q believers think that JFK Jr. is actually still alive, having faked his death to secretly fight the evil cabal.<a href="#cite_note-260">[254]</a> Some of them think JFK Jr. is actually Q, and they hold that he faked his death to escape the same fate as <a href="/wiki/JFK" class="mw-redirect" title="JFK">his father</a>, who they think was assassinated by the deep state. If JFK Sr. had not been assassinated in 1963, he would have been 104 at the time of the QAnon gathering. Pretending that QAnoners are right, his lifetime of poor health<a href="#cite_note-261">[255]</a> makes such longevity highly unlikely. The idea gained prominence thanks to the far-right <a href="/wiki/Pizzagate" title="Pizzagate">Pizzagate</a> whackjob Liz Crokin going on about it on <a href="/wiki/YouTube" title="YouTube">YouTube</a>, explaining her belief that Q's references to JFK Jr. must mean that he is JFK Jr. and that any <a href="/wiki/Galileo_gambit" title="Galileo gambit">ridicule she receives over this stupid idea proves her right</a>.<a href="#cite_note-262">[256]</a> As further evidence, Q believers tout a fake quote from JFK Jr. saying, "If my dear friend Donald Trump ever decided to sacrifice his fabulous billionaire lifestyle to become president he would be an unstoppable force for ultimate justice that Democrats and Republicans alike would celebrate."<a href="#cite_note-263">[257]</a> The fake quote was debunked, of course, not that any QAnon followers would actually give a shit. To add the shit cherry on the weird-ass cake, some Q followers also picked out a random guy standing at one of Trump's rallies, identified him as a man named Vincent Fusca, and then decided that he must actually be JFK Jr. in disguise.<a href="#cite_note-fusca-53">[51]</a> According to them, JFK Jr. is just biding his time until he thinks it's the right moment to emerge from hiding, confirm QAnon, and then replace <a href="/wiki/Mike_Pence" title="Mike Pence">Mike Pence</a> as Trump's running mate.<a href="#cite_note-264">[258]</a> That all seems, uh, rather unlikely.

In such cases, the john is considered the trafficker;<a href="#cite_note-hobbes-304">[297]</a> this is known as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_sex" class="extiw" title="wp:Survival sex" rel="nofollow">'survival sex'</a>.<img alt="Wikipedia" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Wikipedia%27s_W.svg/12px-Wikipedia%27s_W.svg.png" decoding="async" width="12" height="12" srcset="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Wikipedia%27s_W.svg/18px-Wikipedia%27s_W.svg.png 1.5x, https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Wikipedia%27s_W.svg/24px-Wikipedia%27s_W.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="128" data-file-height="128" /> Second, most of the survival sex involving children is because "the child is homeless, has run away from foster care or has been kicked out by their parents, often due to being <a href="/wiki/Queer" title="Queer">queer</a> or <a href="/wiki/Transgender" title="Transgender">transgender</a>. Many of these kids end up trading sex for money, drugs or a place to sleep because it’s their only way to survive."<a href="#cite_note-hobbes-304">[297]</a> The problem for these homeless teens is often that foster care and other support systems that could keep them off the streets and out of <a href="/wiki/Prostitution" title="Prostitution">prostitution</a> are often chronically underfunded.<a href="#cite_note-hobbes-304">[297]</a> So, the problem, then, are the deeply conservative parents that form a pool of people who are likely to reject their <a href="/wiki/LGBTQ" title="LGBTQ">LGBTQ</a> or nonconforming kids, who hate <a href="/wiki/Taxes" class="mw-redirect" title="Taxes">taxes</a> and funding social services, and who form a base for QAnon recruitment. This amounts to a form of <a href="/wiki/Psychological_projection" title="Psychological projection">psychological projection</a> wherein QAnon supporters baselessly accuse liberals (anyone left of center, really) of the most wildly reprehensible actions for which conservatives are in reality at least partly responsible for. Actual pimps with actual locked-up prepubescent sex slaves are exactly as rare as you'd expect any business that appeals to such a niche demographic as pedophile rapists to be.
