There were a lot of good, verifiable, non-Q things going on, though, that made it reasonable to think something would happen:
The EO on elections, combined with Trump's constant tweeting about fraud before, during, and after the election
Trump making personnel changes, issuing orders, etc. after Nov. 4th that would only make sense if he was going to be around for another term
A number of high profile people who **had **credibility at the time (Wood, Powell, Flynn, Guliani, Pompeo, etc.) saying they had the goods
So you didn't have to actually buy into the JFK Jr. is still alive, the ballots have nuclear watermarks, there was a raid on a server in Germany, etc ... to think that things were going to go differently than they did.
