In a way only they can, supporters of the QAnon conspiracy theory are bizarrely suggesting there was huge significance in the moment a cicada flew around the neck of President Joe Biden before he boarded Air Force One.
Rather than just seeing it as an example of the issues caused by the return of the large, loud insects after living underground for the past 17 years, some QAnon supporters claimed the reappearance of the Brood X cicadas is somehow a secret nod that justifies their radical movement.
"JOE BIDEN BITTEN BY A CICADA - COMMS? Just so happens that Cicada nymphs emerge after a 17-year childhood underground!!!" We The Media wrote. For QAnon supporters, anything that can be linked to the number 17, no matter how tenuous, can be interpreted as "comms" for them as Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet.
"What? CHILD? UNDERGROUND? 17? Yes. Then after a short period above ground they molt, mate, lay eggs and die," We The Media's post added. The "underground" comment is a reference to a long held belief from QAnon that there exists a network of secret underground tunnels where children are being trafficked and abused by the satanic pedophiles they claim they will one day expose.
The post also referred to another common belief from the conspiracy theorists that Biden has been replaced with a clone or a body double wearing a mask.
"So, is Fake Joe Biden saying 'he' was compromised by the Q Team for crimes against children and now after this short period 'in the limelight,' having served his purpose, is soon destined to 'die?'" the post read.
