NBC News journalist Ben Collins tweeted more deluded and disappointed QAnon followers.

QAnon forums now:

"I dont think this is supposed to happen? How long does it take the fed to run up the stairs and arrest him?"

"It's like being a kid and seeing the big gift under the tree thinking it is exactly what you want only to open it and realize it was a lump of coal" pic.twitter.com/oBUF2cm3fT

TIME journalist Vera Bergengruen also tweeted the QAnon faithful falling apart.

Followers of QAnon feverishly believed today would be the long-awaited “Great Awakening” — a day when top Democrats, including most of the people on that platform, would be rounded up and arrested, all part of Trump's secret plan. It's not squaring with what they just watched. pic.twitter.com/ked56zEeeO

Media Matters researcher Alex Kaplan tweeted QAnon message boards and Telegram channels that show the conspiracy theorists moving the goalposts to justify their insane delusions.
