Here are the seven QAnon supporters running for Congress - Media Matters

Don’t worry, they’re all r-identifying.

https://www.mediamatters.org/qanon-conspiracy-theory/here-are-qanon-supporters-running-congress-2020

Multiple supporters of the QAnon conspiracy theory, which got its start on far-right message boards, are running campaigns for Congress in 2020.


The “Q” account claimed and the conspiracy theory's premise is that President Donald Trump was working with then-special counsel Robert Mueller to take down the president’s perceived enemies, the “deep state,” and pedophiles. Multiple adherents to the conspiracy theory have been tied to acts of violence, including multiple murders and an attempted kidnapping, and an FBI field office released a memo in May that listed QAnon as a potential domestic terrorism threat.

probably shouldn't be in public office.

But then, Texas governor Abbott was pushing Jade Helm and got reelected so ignorance doesn't seem to dissuade some voters.

That's worse than bedbugs.

There is nothing like having vapid conspiracy buffs in office. Yup. Folks who just buy into whatever catches their fancy and reflects what they believe are excellent choices for government. They know it is not important to fact check information or use any form of that pesky and difficult critical thinking while doing their duties. Real people of action who are the first to jump of that great cliff before the rest follow. They don't even need someone to hold their beer.

A government of the vapid, for the vapid and by the vapid. Hail Morania! Let the dregs of humanity have a chance for a change.
