The Nuttiness of That QAnon Convention in Dallas - An actual inside report, of sorts....

[Liberal In Texas]

"Andrew Callaghan is a nontraditional journalist who took a lot of mushrooms when he was younger. He has a YouTube show called Channel 5 With Andrew Callaghan.

OK, ready? Last week Channel 5 posted this report from the Dallas QAnon rally. It’s worth your time."

I think one of the most interesting things from this about these nutters is that this big deal convention had all of about 200 attendees.

"Over the Memorial Day weekend, something called For God & Country Patriot Roundup took up space here in town at the Omni and Eddie Deen’s Ranch. News coverage of the event was spotty, primarily because they wouldn’t allow in people working for traditional media."

1. So many nuts out there. That first woman has spent too much...

time baking in the sun. And she's just the first one he talked to. How did so many people in the nation just go crazy?

2. My hypothesis is that we've ALWAYS had this many crazies...

The difference NOW is that this is the first generation in our history, that we haven't given them anything else to do and they got seriously bored.

5. They have the internet. Now they can meet, misinform, and encourage each other.

6. Correct; that's the other edge of the sword of the internet.

It connects ALL communities, even ones that we would rather keep apart.

9. You're so right. Nationwide and near-instant communication..

to spread the cray-cray.

3. The cult leaders are making a mint off of these crazies.

4. Oh my ...

um, I am kind of speechless. Shocked. That's the closest I've been to them and it's frightening.

7. At least we know why they didn't want any "traditional media" in.

The number of actual paying attendees was kind of embarrassing.

8. Those people are crazy.

I don't know whether to laugh or
