i'm not at all surprised that QAnon being demonstrably exposed as a fraud has done little-to-nothing to stop it. after all, anti-Semites still cling to "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" long after it was exposed as a creation of the tsarist Russian secret police.
As usual, the math might presage a shitstorm for the GOP. 52% of AT BEST 40% of the overall electorate is somewhere around 21% of the voting public. When they nominate their most fucked up, they get so very fucked up in return.
An imperfect but logical search on Perplexity and Google indicates the "South Park" episode featuring g Christopher Reeves aired in 2003. The first Q post was dated 2013 or 2017, depending on yer' search. So I think we know the origin story.
Please don't let her in on the false notion that makeup and hair care products are made from stem cells harvested from aborted feti. The tragic weight of choosing "Fuck those kids, I'm hitting the salon!" Might be more than she cou,d bear
So...Moms For Liberty's beef with Space Camp is that they have a transgender employee. That has caused them so much fervor that they've teamed up with an org called (wait for it...) Covenant Rescue Group. CRG, as you may glean from the name, conducts training and sting ops targeting human trafficking, a la Tim Ballard. Interestingly enough...during a Covenant training session for law enforcement, an officer took lunch with 3 others, waited for them to get out of the car and ate his gun then and there. Odd choice of timing and venue, but they claimed "“this incident was entirely unrelated to the class training.”". https://ca.news.yahoo.com/cop-takes-own-life-during-234258403.html
I digress...tl;dr: Moms For Liberty thinks that Space Camp having a trans employee is basically running a trafficking op. Oy.
We moved from Ohio to North Carolina 2 years ago for my wife’s job. She insists that North Carolina is less politically crazy than Ohio. I contend they’re about the same, with the added scary kicker of rural white conservative North Carolinians wanting to secede from the US and bring back slavery.
At one time NC was the most progressive state in the South. In the 1950s they really started improving rural schools and rural roads, and in the 1960s started integrating state universities. After the feds banned Medicaid funds being used for abortions in the early 1970s there was a state funded abortion program for poor women that lasted until the early 1990s when Republicans started gaining power. Of course there was always push havoc from conservatives. UNC at Chapel Hill has long been called commie central, dating as far back as the 1950s.
The rest of y'all...this right here? Welcome to my life. Other than being a music nerd, this is what I do. These are the ppl we built a national non-profit to oppose. Is it any wonder that I'm here, blowing off steam and gettin' freaky with the Cheez-Wiz? No, you say? Thought so. :)
If Qanon is anything like Trump, then if they are accusing others of heinous acts, actually they are doing the dirty deeds not the other way around.
That face looks a bit lashed together from cadaver parts, nothing exactly fits.

Morrow won a primary, is that correct? But she has a democratic opponent so everything is going to ok, right? Right!?
I mean thank God for Roy Cooper, were on a fucking knifes edge here
Can’t put it better than Marcie did:
Seriously, WTF, NC?
Idk if I can keep living here if this loon and Mark Robinson win, and with Defendant Trump at the top of the ticket, they probably will.

Now I’m gonna have to get defensive. There is nothing more beautiful than spring in North Carolina.
Agreed. It's just the people, mostly, that I object to. And if there ever was a poster boy for "sneering East coast elite", David Byrne will do.
Link not long enough.

In space no one can hear you pee.
So the bathroom issue does not matter.
Well, just *knowing* a trans person *may* have to pee, sometime in the forseeable future? Hell, that warrants lethal force in Oklahoma...
I still think someone needs to organize a counter-group called Moms for Libertines.
Over on the Xitter we have Moans For Liberty.
So, Covenant Rescue Group saves people from people like Mike Johnson and his son?
Sadly, the call is coming from inside the house.
Trans in space! 😂
Yikes.
Moms For Liberty's newest target: Space Camp Yes, really.

Ohio is kinda scary.
Forget it Jake, this is America.

I grew up in NC. It’s really sad what’s happening because of the gerrymandered Republican majority in the legislature.
“and in the 1960s started integrating state universities. ”
Gov. Sanford also invested heavily in creating community colleges and additional four year universities throughout the state, in the 1960’s.
Yeah, now it’s a gerrymandered nightmare where everyone is horny as fuck for charter schools.
Gerrymandering is a bitch. You end up with the worst politicians trying to out-crazy each other.
Thank you, Marcie.

“Where We Go One, We Go All” Has anyone every tried to parse this sentence? What the heck does it actually mean, anyway?
It has always reminds me of potty training at the day care. Except that is cure mommy time and QAnon are fucking horrible.
We poop where we pee. Please clap.
It means, “This is a cult. You are in a cult.”
For every lunatic thought any of these pukes have, all others are required to consider, if not completely endorse and meme to death.
I don't think consideration plays even a very, very small part in it. The Qa-nuts brook no such thing as critical thought. Believe or be gone.
Yes, but does she host underage drinking bashes that include actual bashing of the underage?
Clarice Schillinger still has the beat, as far as we know.
