It’s hard to keep track of all the conspiracy theories that pass through QAnon, especially some of the wilder ones. But the fringe idea that John F. Kennedy Jr. is still alive is growing, as evidenced by the hundreds gathered in Dallas yesterday with the hopes of hearing a special announcement from a man who has been dead 22 years.

The crowd started to gather on Monday night, after claims spread on QAnon message boards that John F. Kennedy Jr. — and according to some, John F. Kennedy himself, as well — would show up on the grassy knoll in Dallas and “transfer power to Donald Trump,” making him president once more.

“It’s the second coming of Christ, going to be biblical,” read one email reposted on social media. “Kennedy’s [sic] are the Jesus bloodline.”

Needless to say, the claims did not come true, as JFK was assassinated in 1963 and his son died in a plane crash in 1999. 

But facts have never stopped QAnon before, and hundreds of believers from across the country flocked to Dallas in the hopes that they would be witnessing history in the making.

The QAnon people are “seeing” dead celebrities everywhere.

Just now from this Q livestream:

“There’s somebody in a mask… Is it Michael Jackson? It’s Michael Jackson, isn’t it?”

When no one showed, people allegedly first made excuses, and then gradually quietly went home.

This is where we are as a country.

This whole thing has been completely insane, and Twitter users got a kick out of the absurdity of it.

NOT BREAKING NEWS:
John F. Kennedy Jr. is dead.

Dallas. Now Houston. Texas is seriously fucked up.

Best line ever from @MSNBC as hundreds are gathered in Dallas awaiting JFK Jr.- “Kennedy’s absence was likely due to the 1999 plane crash in which he died”

— Cody-Proud Progressive Liberal (@pokerbitch74) November 2, 2021

The best part of this is their belief that either Kennedy would be supportive of Trump when in fact JFK would kick him in the nuts. https://t.co/IsdFH2K1z4

“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.

“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”

“How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.

“You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.” pic.twitter.com/HGU6wB103K

Can I ask a practical question: How do the QAnon people have so much time to do dumb stuff?

— Asha Rangappa (@AshaRangappa_) November 2, 2021

But the fact that there are even this many Americans who really took time out of their lives and traveled to Dallas thinking that dead political figures were going to reveal themselves after all these years is actually really concerning.

The very large crowd gathered to see the JFK Jr. reveal himself after his faked death isn’t funny. It’s a deeply worrying sign of how unhinged our political conversation has become from truth. https://t.co/MMCiKu7Mev

JFK Jr., a prominent liberal, was tragically killed in a plane crash 22 years ago

Today members of the increasingly unhinged GOP waited for his resurrection at Dealey Plaza, Texas. They look to him as Trump’s running mate

And you’re telling us to “unite” with these people?

— Lindy Li (@lindyli) November 2, 2021

The JFK Jr. Q rally is over. Resurrection delayed due to rain.

I’ve followed this for years, and it’s jarring how pathetic this was. These people want all the dead celebrities from their childhoods back, so they pretended to see them in real life today. It’s childlike coping.

— Ben Collins (@oneunderscore__) November 2, 2021

Today,my heart goes out to members of the Kennedy and Bessette families who, today, are having to relive one of, if not, the most painful moment of their lives from twenty two years ago due to the cruelty and insensitivity of the QANONUTTER MAGA Klan. It’s just gross.

A lot to unpack here as the crowd awaits the reveal that JFK Jr. is actually alive. But i’m struck by this sign. Trump’s gonna run with Kennedy? And he’s going to do it in the 2020 campaign? Are we in the age of time travel too??? Q, what’s going on? https://t.co/sDNVnMTSwx

It seems more and more people are being lost to insane QAnon conspiracies every day, despite none of their proclaimed events actually playing out as “prophesied.”
