Republican conspiracy theories are coming home to roost

Whether it's Pizzagate, QAnon, the "deep state", school shootings all being staged by "crisis actors", white genocide, George Soros and the Je... Globalists doing nefarious things, the thing with the left, the immigrants, the Je... Globalists, the Muslims, the Media, the Obamas, the Clintons, and the Martian Sex Colonists all working together in some secret volcano lair, etc.

Republicans created them, Republicans promoted them, Republicans ran on them, Republicans chanted "lock em up", Republicans benefited from them, and even if Republicans didn't run on them other Republicans just smiled and nodded when others did it for them, and Republicans didn't and continue to refuse to denounce them.

How much more blood on their hands are Republicans OK with? How much more terror do Republicans want?

Nothing says "i'm a tiresome idiot" more bigly than spouting some insane rightwing republican conspiracy theory. Everyone has a neighbor, relative, acquaintance who's gone off the Trump deep end... and we're sick of their bullshit. They're never getting 'their country back' if justice prevails and they should just fucking crawl back to their caves and leave us alone.

It's a total ocean of lies and CTs. We also now have a SCOTUS justice who has a claim to fame of finding out whether Hillary killed people too.

Wow. That is a stretch, small potatoes - but online he could probably get a fair amount of support for his crazed 'claim.'

Having these CTs even brought up for debate on actual news programs is harmful IMO. They are total bullshit, they don't deserve the light of day!

I think that the conspiracy guy in question is so stupid, a number of republicons would feel embarrassed with such 'cohorts' - some may feel alienated enough to not vote, or vote 'the lesser evil' dem. Case in point, traitortrump is the best thing going next week - for Dems.

Are in bed with putin now, trying to save themselves from justice and prison terms. They have to undermine OUR government for putin or they'll be exposed by him too.
