He's a good pick for AG because he knows all the traffickers moves!

It actually was precisely the plan - conspiracy theories are sown by the establishment to deflect from itself and shift blame elsewhere, so they can get away with whatever they want to and still maintain power.

Qanon was about deflecting "the most rich and powerful in society get away with trafficking, rape, and murder" to "liberals get away with trafficking, rape, and murder". In the same way that "the economy is controlled by a small group of rich and powerful capitalists" is deflected to "the economy is controlled by Jews", and "abusive men in positions of power groom children" to "drag queens groom children".

It's one way to manufacture consent, and it works.

Majority of voters =/= majority of population

Edit: Correction, Majority of voters who casted a valid ballot.

Past tense of cast is cast, unless you're talking about making a plaster mold

That is true, and a good point. Thanks :)

This got me to exhale forcefully, and the corners of my mouth crept up slightly. Which in these days of horror and darkness is something.

It isn't "The Onion Now Owns InfoWars" hilarious, but it's funny.

And the tiny possibility he won't be approved is ... interesting.

Kakistocracy: is it better or worse than having competent fascists in charge?

Donald's admin to order the 'cellar special' would be nothing surprising.
