It’s only been five very long years since Marjorie Taylor Greene burst onto the political scene with her election to US Congress in 2020. ‘MTG’ has never met a conspiracy theory she didn’t like – over the years she’s endorsed or been adjacent to, among others, 911 conspiracy theories, Pizzagate, the Clinton ‘body count’, the ‘stolen election’ nonsense, false flag school shootings, and ‘Jewish space lasers’ starting wildfires.
Marjorie Taylor Greene was also, in the lead-up to her election, outed as a believer in the QAnon conspiracy theory, in which Donald Trump is a quasi-messianic figure who had been installed as President of the United States as part of a “plan to save the world” from a cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic child molesters who were in league with the ‘Deep State’, and that a mysterious figure known only as ‘Q’ was dropping hints about the plan and how it was playing out via 4Chan.
As Will Sommer reported for The Daily Beast back in 2020, shortly before she was elected:
Greene is an outspoken supporter of QAnon, a conspiracy theory based on a series of anonymous messages posted online by a mystery figure named “Q.” QAnon believers think that Donald Trump is engaged in a shadowy war against a cabal of global elites, including the Democratic Party, and will soon arrest or even execute top Democrats in an event they know as “The Storm.”
Despite such ludicrous claims, Greene has praised QAnon. In a video posted online, she called the anonymous “Q” a “patriot” and said that their predictions had been accurate.
“Many of the things that he has given clues about and talked on 4Chan and other forums have really proven to be true,” Greene said.
As perhaps the most high-profile elected official at the time to openly endorse the QAnon conspiracy theory, MTG became somewhat of a cause celebre among the QAnon community.
But after being both a QAnon and MAGA megastar for a number of years, in recent months a rift has erupted between MTG and President Donald Trump, apparently primarily due to their differing opinions on the release of the Epstein files. Things came to a head last week, with Trump directly attacking the woman who had for many years been perhaps his biggest supporter in Congress, calling her “Marjorie Traitor Brown”.
One can only guess at how QAnon supporters took this sudden eruption in the relationship, being torn between their slavish devotion to Trump while perhaps feeling that MTG’s pursuit of the pedophiles involved in the Epstein case was literally their raison d’être in hunting down the ‘cabal’.
But this past weekend, in a video announcing her intention to resign from Congress, effective January 5th 2026, Marjorie Taylor Greene drove a stake through the heart of QAnon: Buried in her 10 minute address to constituents and fans was a short sentence that most people probably barely noticed.
There is no plan to save the world or a 4D chess game being played.
For those ‘with eyes to see’, this was MTG talking to the QAnon community: The two phrases in this sentence are both QAnon community references, although the latter (‘4D chess game’) has had wider usage, and sometimes is 5D, sometimes 10D or even 11D (all are an attempt to make sense of Trump’s idiocy, by trying to explain many of his moronic and random actions as in fact being things that could only make sense if they were the actions of an inscrutable genius. As time has passed and situations have played out, the evidence is heavily weighted to ‘moron’ rather than ‘genius’).
Nevertheless, the phrase has also been heavily used by QAnon adherents and influencers: See for instance the headline “Prominent QAnon conspiracy theorist says she is beginning to wonder if Trump really is playing ‘5D chess’ after all” as just one example.
But perhaps more importantly, “The Plan to Save the World” is a very well known phrase within the QAnon community, that refers directly to the alleged plan of making Trump president in order to take down the cabal – and it is also the title of perhaps the most watched and cited propaganda video within the QAnon community: “The Plan to Save the World” (the video was so influential that I wrote a few paragraphs about it in my article from way back in 2018 warning about the dangers of the cult-like conspiracy theory).
So Marjorie Taylor Greene’s words were not random: “There is no plan to save the world” is her way of telling all those QAnon adherents that the whole thing is bullshit – there is no plan, and Trump is definitely not there to take down the pedophile Satanists. It is literally the foundational idea for the QAnon cult, and the woman who was all in on the Trump train, and closely connected to him for a number of years, has come out and said it’s not true.
And just for extra spice, she also noted that there is “no 4D chess game being played”. That is, Trump is, in fact, just a moron.
I’d like to say that this surely is the final nail in the coffin for the QAnon idiocy, but I know that’s very likely not the case. True believers will always find a way to keep on believing, sadly.
