Jo Rea Perkins has as much chance of winning this seat as I do, and even though I’m in Oregon, I’m not on the ballot.

"She called including her beliefs in her campaign a “highly calculated risk” that’s either “pure genius or pure insanity.”

"Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.

Here in Oregon, a Republican run for Senate is a suicide mission, so this is what you get.

“pure genius or pure insanity.”…not really a close call.

But keep in mind a whole heap of white rubes in eastern Oregon will festoon her mangy carcass with their votes.

I still remember my first adult encounter with someone who otherwise was pretty run of the mill normal, but held deep convictions about the reality of some utterly unfounded conspiracy theories. In this case, my neighbor, who for whatever reason really, truly, completely believed that the underpinnings of the “Illuminatus! Trilogy” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Illuminatus!_Trilogy) were complete and revelatory truths.

The saddest bit? His girlfriend, a hyper-intelligent teacher, shrugged it off as an adorable quirk.

And so entered sin into the world.

Aren’t QAnon members supposed to stay anonymous, to avoid the Deep State being able to target them?

She’s likely not really QAnon, and may even be a plant or a spy.

The rest of QAnon should start looking into her very deeply, figure out who’s paying her.

They will, but rest assured, there are teeny tiny islands of blue out here in Red Orygun, and our west siders will make sure she is consigned to the dustbin of history…

Lee Harvey Oswald’s brain was transplanted into Jack Kennedy’s body, and he/Jack went on to be the mayor of a small town in the south of France, until their untimely demise in a skiing accident.

It’s true. A doctor told me about it.
