New Mexico’s election deniers are going deep down a new rabbit hole.
Solomon Pena believed in David Clements but David Clements doesn’t believe in Solomon Pena.
I know there can’t be a religious test for office in American politics. But couldn’t we use “do you believe in demons?” as a mental fitness test?
Everything from 9/11, to the Sandy Hook shooting, and the Jan. 6 attack has been branded with the label at various points. Clements’ new “false flag” theory hinged on
Who knew that the Bowling Green Massacre would usher in an era where certain folks will believe all crazyassed things all the time?
Tricky. Have you seen Kimberly Guilfoyle’s “the best is yet to come” segment? Not sure which circle of hell she’s from.
Don’t be ridiculous. The lizard people covered up the Bowling Green Massacre because they didn’t want the Illuminati to be able to use it to impose martial law under Obama. So there was no way for the crazyassed folks to hear about it (until Kelly-Ann broke the cover story under 45).
So they’ve reached the “No True Magat” stage?
Clements could be considered the intellectual leader of New Mexico’s election conspiracy movement. He has over 25,000 followers on the video site Rumble, which is popular with right wing influencers.
Intellectual? Surely, there’s another adjective that’s more accurate.
25,000 followers. wow.
I think they hoped to use “crazyassed” as a defense.
Whoops.
It’s a dizzying blur of justifications and paranoia that defies any questioning — or logic.
Is this the OED definition of Q?
That or Couy is very concerned about declaring some distance and separation between him and Pena.
I was going to say that some of these folks seem to be in a religious mania. Even smattering of England and New England witch trials.
I can’t wrap my head around the fact these folks only ever talk to like minded people. And when you only interact with like minded people the group can lose touch with sanity.

They deny the most fundamental fact of human existence: that to be human is to be capable of error. They believe that every fact that disproves their beliefs actually confirms the truth of what they believe. We’ve all known someone who constantly exclaims something like, “but you’ve just proven my point!” Best to stay away from that guy.
Unfortunately, all you can do is try them and convict them when they commit crimes.
I’ve been cavorting with daemons for years. Here’s one:
He’s the print daemon, but there’s a whole bunch of others. They all pretty much look like him.
I believe that’s sunbathing.
Well, no. Because there’s that pesky Article 6 of the Constitution, roundly ignored by all the wingnuts and their “Christian nation” BS –
“…no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
ETA: And I should have added, you can’t use religious belief as a mental test!
And they’ve reached the “disprove a negative” gambit: "Who’s to say he’s not working with the cartel?”
I’m not sure that belief in biblical demons really counts as a religious test (although who knows after the Gang of Six gets done). Plenty of people have been put away for seeing things that don’t exist. (Then again, it’s generally for seeing things that all the people around them don’t see, which might not work when you surround yourself with people who also see demons.)
