By now nearly everyone is familiar with the Q post saying 'Done in 30.'
Nearly everyone assumes it had to mean '30 days.' But that ship sailed years and years ago.
What if it meant something different? Something that matches up a little tighter with the observable facts and events on the timeline?
Not 30 months; that time, too, has long passed.
What if it meant 'Done in 30 years'?
If that's a little farfetched, so far off it may as well be never, then...
...what if it meant 'Done in 2030'?
Food for thought
Likely. In some ways I don't like that "you are watching a movie" phrase, because in a movie you need a clear victory and a clear "the end" for it to work as a story. The main villain gets killed by the hero, everybody celebrates, all is well and they are back to what was before the villain got power.
But it never works like that in real life. You may even get what looks like that "clear" victory, but after that it is still going to be a long, slow clean up process before even most people in the land may start to get some sort of personal resolution and their freedoms fully back because there are going to be a lot of residue from the period when the bad guys were in power. And most times there are still going to be individuals from that "bad guys" group left in power, possibly for many years, after that victory celebration, even if you even can get any kind of clear victory into the picture.
And after that, there is going to be that continued struggle to keep that victory...
There is no real "the end, and then they all lived happily ever after" in real life.
I suppose that phrase refers to the idea that most of what is going on now has been planned and prepared years earlier, so there is an actual script (or battle plan) being followed. But it can still invoke unrealistic expectations in people. Like that some people here seeming to think that Trump and co should have been able to fix everything in weeks, or at most a few months, after Trump got back in the White House.
No battle plans can remain fully intact once the fighting actually starts. Nor movie scripts, they will usually end up being constantly tweaked and at least mildly changed once the filming starts.
