Republican candidate for Senate in Oregon Jo Rae Perkins told TPM that she’s “happy” to have another candidate in the mix who reads QAnon posts, after Marjorie Greene became the presumptive next congresswoman in Georgia’s 14th district.
And we’re happy she’s the only one that has a chance in hell of winning their campaign.
It may be a bit early to call Greene the presumptive nominee. Georgia has a long history of nominating the candidate who ran second in a large group.
So republicans are going to have a female version of Louie Gohmert.
It was a reference to a coming final judgement-like event, sometimes called the “Storm” in QAnon-speak, during which prominent Democrats and figures in popular culture will be tried and executed, or possibly sent to Guantanamo Bay.
Der Stürmer may have grounds for a copyright infringement claim.
Perkins is twirling around like an out of control merry-go-round.
Because everyone who wants to be “informed” gets their information exclusively from 4chan and FaceBook. 
Did she do enough research to understand that “The Storm” is a reference to StormFront?
“Where we go off-our-rockers we go all!”
Now that’s a margarita!
Well, at least she’s not a witch…
We have learned to either use or improve our critical thinking skills.
How to put this—there’s always room for further improvement. 
May the race be won by the more QWorthy.
Algorithm induced psychosis? Internet encephalopathy?
Looking to name a new disease for the DSM. It would be for people who are demonstrating less and less contact with reality due to repeated exposure to right wing paranoid web sites.
Well, yes. And along these lines, I’m old enough to remember a time when conservatives actually decried the teaching of critical thinking in high school and college because, in essence, they didn’t want anyone questioning stuff (even as they complained about liberal bias among college professors). So, I’m glad to see that the stuff I do for a living is back in favor among these folks.
Here in Oregon, there are positions the Republicans don’t even try for anymore…
Global cabal of satan worshipping pedophiles? Well, Epstein was taken out. I didn’t realize he worshipped the republican deity.
So, yes, I am happy to see another candidate that reads the Q posts as part of her pool of research and information source to have won the Georgia primary,” she added.
Well, not exactly a pool of research.
More like a puddle.
Of something that a dog yakked up on the sidewalk.
She also echoes the frequent and baseless accusation of Trump’s political enemies being pedophiles and Satan worshippers.
So religious freedom for thee and not me?
Weapons-grade projection.
I’m old enough to have been a devotee of the late Neil Postman while some of his most influential books were coming out and he was an early advocate for education in critical thinking. I’m sure the situation is the same now as it was then—a modicum of it, in the later grades, in affluent school districts. God, it would make such a difference if the average person could spot the most common bad arguments. Shaking my head. That said, I’m of course being sarcastic toward our Qanon friends but young people today, many of them, do seem to have a real sense for bad-faith arguments, and shred them up wittily in a heartening way.
