MTG isn't a US senator, thankfully.

 

She represents the 14th Congressional District in the state of Georgia, so she's one of 435 members of the House of Representatives.

 

But you're right, it is difficult to imagine what her constituents must be like.

 

 

Deliverence comes to mind when thiking who would have voted for MTG

Why is the Biden/Harris movement so susceptible to crazy conspiracy theories that MAGA are somehow all conspiracy theorists?  Really - the Left are actually the bull-goose loonies who are completely out of touch with reality.  The Lefties project their own psychosis onto the conservative right and claim they are the crazies when it's the progressive Left who are completely nuts.  Tampons in the boy's bathrooms.  Men can have babies.  Ha ha ha ha ha! 

Change my mind! 

And Randle P. McMurphy thought that HE was the chief bull goose loony.

He reckoned without the Biden/Harris crowd!

Wow, profound and funny at the same time - how do you do it?!

To answer the original question, "Why is the MAGA movement so susceptible to crazy conspiracy theories?" the answer is this.

 

What starts as a conspiracy theory has, almost without exception, turned out to be true. Russia, Russia, Russia was exposed my John Durham as a huge hoax, for example.

One aspect of the nutter American left is that they pick on admittedly wild Republicans such as MTG and try to make her out as the norm. 

 

Then again, these are the same people that can spend hours in a "how to deal with microaggression" summit then walk out and chant "death to the Jews." 

 

I'll tell you something, these people are the sewage-sucking scum of humanity. This is not hypocrisy, this is far beyond that - it's just plain old EVIL.

No, it hasn't. But do go on, what can you list next?

Jewish space lasers, hurricanes controlled by a PS 5 remote, Pizzagate?

Let's hear it!

Well Hillary has spent the last week explaining that the Libtards want to change the freedom of speech laws with good old fashioned censorship so there is that for starters. They hate the truth which is why they being hit from every angle at the moment AND it's about to get a lot worse for them.

I think the answer to the question is that the MAGA movement is a cult. As such, it's a faith based movement where facts are only used in the few cases where it seems to support whatever narrative they push.

Most of the time facts are just ignored and they just make up s***, like these hairbrained conspiracy theories. Beggars belief.

 

 

Yeah, these conspiracy theories are crazy and it's hard to imagine how a sane person can believe in this 💩. It's almost like believing that men can menstruate LOL.

 

I agree that a big % of Trump supporters and especially conspiracy theories ppl are stupid. But damn, the other side is waaay beyond that 😆)

Tell that to Paul Manafort who handed the Russians Trump campaign polling data. At the time, Paul Manafort was Trump's campaign manager.

 

Feel free to try to disprove this.

There is no First Amendment right to free speech on commercial platforms.

 

Elon regularly controls posts on Twitter.

 

I guess you don't really know the US Constitution, given that you aren't an American.

So you don't think Pizzagate was put out there to deflect attention away from P Diddy's parties?

Well, what a surprise! The article you linked to (from the rag the NY Post) in no way supports your pearl clutching claims.😁

It is almost as if the hardcore MAGA devotees are wedded to the insanity now, and questioning the extremism, the conspiracies, and Trump and his daily loads of BS, feels like a betrayal to them, so they have to embrace non-truths, and silly and ridiculous narratives in order to remain faithful. Is that not the very definition of a cult? 

 

 

We must live in alternate universes then. No one in my universe cares about Trump or Harris. It's just not a topic of conversation.

The exception for me is on here, of course. If it were a decent Dem candidate I wouldn't care either, but IMO Harris is so bad as to put us all in danger if she gets elected. I think she just doesn't have the fiber to be able to do an adequate job. I'm certain that every sensible leader on the planet is privately aghast that she might be the POTUS. I'm also certain that Putin and Xi are hoping she will be the winner.

LOL, let's agree to disagree on who's living in an alternative universe.

 

Much of the world is terrified by another Trump presidency. Here’s why

And your demonstration that "almost without exception.... is an example which doesn't confirm your assertion. The Durham investigation has been a huge fail, to the point that Riclag took out his picture from his profile. 🤣

Tee hee. John Durham is about to get started. He got the evidence that he needed on the Clinton campaign, the Steele dossier etc.
