So I have been waiting for someone to put this up and no one did so I had to!
I've been watching some of her old social media posts and I can tell you personally the Dems are making a huge mistake here. MTG is by far the most entertaining political personality in years. She's almost in Palin's league. She's absolutely hilarious and the Dems are doing a serious disservice to the entertainment of the American public.
She's bat *** crazy!! Around the bend, crackers, nuts, and I honestly believed if the Dems hadn't done this, she would have single handedly brought down the republicans.
So, you're saying one is crazier then the other. MJT certainly shows some crazy statements. AOC has shown us at times she is crazy or unintelligent...take your pick.
The both do have some coherent thoughts and ideas that a good portion of their side of the aisle agrees with.
However MJT acquired the business, she ran it for quite sometime. That is more then most members of Congress have done. She certainly has more experience in that and life as a ordinary citizen then most, especially AOC.
As delusional conspiracy theorists go, no, I don't think they are comparable, I'm not aware of any delusional conspiracy theories AOC as promoted. MJT on the other hand has promoted the claim that Hillary Clinton, while taking part in a satanic ritual, engaged in "filleting" off a child's face and wearing it as a mask.
I find AOC often lacks sufficient insight and knowledge into the topics that she speaks on, and while it should count for something I'm not sure I agree that working at your dad's siding contractor business, even if as technically the owner along with your husband, makes it reasonable to assume she has a more complex knowledge of healthcare reform than AOC.
I think there's no question that the GOP voting base is a smorgasbord of opportunity for the grifting class. We'll likely never know how much money the Trump's scammed from those poor fools...and then there's all of the copy cats...like MTG.
Well they really are gullible which makes it so easy for them to transition from religion to QAnon.
Churches, religion are bubbles! Self contained with their own language and social life. They already believe in delusional things like angels, red sea parting, raising of the dead, healing, end of days, floods, plagues and I distinctly remember that they said that Trump was anointed and sent by God himself. How much more unbelievable is lizard people or Jewish lasers etc?
They have their facebook groups and they are in their bubble. Organization like the 6th, took money, serious money! MTG is a symptom of a big illness that originated from the evangelicals. Christians are better than Jews and Muslims. Republicans are better than Democrats. White is better than black. Rich is better than less rich.
When people are intrinsically insecure, anything that distinguishes them from the OTHERS is the way to go. It's a climate ripe for grifters because of the vulnerable, insecure people.
And Democrats are not immune. Look at AL Franken. Libs with the over the top politically correct movements have created a culture of fear and intolerance! facebook and Google is to blame in my opinion. There has to be regulations except that is also a slippery slope. The solution is educational capabilities to be able to differentiate the information received.
Just wondering, now that MTG has renounced quite a few of her QAnon silliness, how does her fellow QAnon peeps see her? I am sure she was influential in the spreading of the conspiracies, therefore now that consequences were the motivation forcing her to fold so quickly, does her followers question her, QAnon and themselves?
Does anyone review her judgement that she's a freshman, hasn't even been there a month and instead of being quiet and learning what transpires before reacting, she usurps all of her experienced colleagues, disrespects everyone and the institutions and brings her party into disrepute?
It's very much like during the election queries, they spouted their conspiracies in public but were cowering in the courts where consequences were actionable.
Another point to ponder. QAnon has no conspiracy theories re Putin MBS from Saudi Arabia Erdogan, Bolsanaro etc. All the strong men who repeatedly violate their citizens rights, commit murder, steal billions, start wars killing hundreds of thousands of people and Q has nothing to say about it. No Stephen Miller, Rex Tillerson, Jared Kushner, but Hillary and Jews, open season!
Trump raised $76 million after his loss ostensibly to battle the presidential election results and to help the Republican candidates in the vital Senate races in Georgia — but didn’t spend a dime on any of it, HuffPost has reported.
“He put nothing back. He didn’t care,” one top Republican familiar with the fundraising operation told HuffPost. “He put all this money in the bank for his own legal fights.
I absolutely love Trump. He took all their money and never spent a penny on helping anyone but himself and STILL gets them to fall on their swords for him!
He lost the senate, congress and the presidency and still these lemmings think he's the future! He's in debt up to his eyeballs and when Leticia James and the other AGs are done with him, there's not a shade of orange that will help ??????

I don't think it hurt her with QAnon at all, I'm sure most QAnon'ers took her statements with a wink and nod.
Keep in mind that a central tenet of QAnon is that the government is run by a cabal of satanic pedophiles who control what everyone in government should say and think. The fact that she was effectively forced to speak out against QAnon only reinforces the idea that QAnon is based in fact to it's believers.

I was going to ask if it bothered anyone that we have these insane people walking around in public and then I realize that the Bible has equally or more outlandish claims and they occupy an even larger segment of society.
I don't understand how people function illogically because each fallacy has to predicate upon something before and after to substantiate the claim. Get a single thing wrong and everything crumbles.
It's like superficiality reigns!
Imagine your goal is to fly airplanes, but you have a serious phobia about flying, you have a single eye(depth perception) and vertigo. Will you succeed?
Now imagine your destination is heaven, but you lie, cheat, steal, fornicate, judge others,hate, hoard, essentially every thing the instruction manual (Bible) tells you not to do. Will you succeed?
It's illogical! Because they are not following the recipe! You can't make an edible cake from mud, salt, chillies etc.
Republicans are just incredible liars and self deceivers. They alienate non whites, Hispanics, African Americans, LGBTQ, Jews, Asians, women, disabled and even the retired, (except for the paradoxical elders of wisdom comes with age folks) are declining in numbers, young people, students etc and instead of modifying their messages, they double down.
I honestly don't know how anyone subscribes to their messaging if you have a working brain. Americans love European culture and achievements, but never explore how it was achieved? What was the social structures that enabled such creations? Why are they frequently listed as the happiest people on earth? What allows them to feel so free to be able to have such long vacations, or maternity leaves, or not having to worry about retirement or health care and not seem to be caught up in the rat race!

He didn't spend any of it battling election results???

Trump has a long history of not paying professionals for services provided. It's easier to believe that Trump doesn't pay than it is to believe that Trump didn't incite the capitol violence. People have written books about it.

To be honest, it's Trump! I would bet serious money that if it's shady, Trump's involved. I don't need to know anything else. I'm quite willing to forego credibility, knowing full well that his criminal mentality means, that he's always looking for a dodgy outcome.
