QAnon’s Takeover of the Republican Party Is Virtually Complete

And this is exactly how these Q CT keep spreading. You grab a headline without any research or background and spread the CT crap. Congrats you are part of Q.
So, I can understand the criticism of her sentence in the case of the 19 year old. And if I'm being honest, I can also understand why she sentenced the way she did. Focusing on the first part though, should we be a little careful in lumping any criticism of that sentence in with Qanon? Yes, Qanon has many insane theories regarding child predators but to criticize that sentence one is not necessarily following Q for guidance.
 
You have deluded yourself if you think that progressives have anywhere near the level of conspiracy theories that the Far Right does.

-Pizzagate
-Sandy Hook truthers
-Anti-maskers
-Anti-vaxxers
-QAnon
-The Big Lie

Nothing from the progressives comes even close to this.
Standing Ovation.......
 
Would it be though? My disagreements with the progressives are political, not personal. They don't invent these massive conspiracy theories like QAnoners do and then run for office on them.

Both sides are NOT the same.
The entire BLM "movement" is a bullshit conspiracy. 23 “unarmed” black suspects were fatally shot by the police in 2018, while even fewer, 12, were shot in 2019. That's a typical long weekend in Chicago.
 
We can agree that conspiracy theories are wrong. Both sides are guilty of having them right. Plenty of crazy out there.

Can you let me know what conspiracy theories the left is pushing right now?
 
Black Lives Matter is not insane.

Defund the police is not insane, but it is misguided.



Both sides are not the same.
Standing ovation number 2

Defund the Police was a bad choice of words ---- Defund The Police Is about reorganizing police budgets to include staff that can deal in talk down solutions over murdering people.

Link? Or does the Age of Qanon now make such a thing irrelevant?

You mean the 18 year old, fresh out of high school?

Considering that some Qanon folks are predisposed to violence, so-called legitimate political leaders paying them lip-service is a very dangerous thing. They should know better. The National review called it demagoguery.

The whole thing is straight up Q bullshit. Hawley uses it because he knows it strikes a cord with Cons who will only listen to headlines and 2 second sound bites.

I view "black lives matter" and "BLM" separately for several reasons.
For one thing, BLM the trademarked organization only popped up in 2013, that's nine years ago.
The CONCEPT that "black lives matter" is four hundred years old, so who really believes that Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tameti really INVENTED anything at all?

Of COURSE the hashtag #blacklivesmatter resonated...why wouldn't it?
I don't believe that the movement that says that black lives matter only began in 2013 when a "trained marxist" saw the Trayvon Martin story on the news in a bar in Oakland.
I think it started a few hundred years earlier and I think it's been ever-present in the lives of generations of people from all corners of the political spectrum, Left, Right, and in between.

And I don't think 95% of the people who gather together to MARCH and PROTEST in the name of equality know or care about marxism.
They're not there for Karl Marx, they're there to protest inequality and bigotry.

Likewise when I HEAR the slogan "Defund the Police" I instinctively understand the true meaning of the phrase and I "get" that it means
that we MUST rethink how law enforcement does their jobs.
But after forty years in the film and TV industry it is difficult for me to IGNORE the MARKETING aspects of how images and slogans get interpreted
by the general public.
I made a living making compelling images on screen, which means I had to LEARN HOW to SELL the ideas on the screen to viewers.

When you sell an electronic dog collar to pet owners, you don't say that you're selling a battery operated electroshock unit, you
say that you're selling a device that enhances your dog's safety, yes?

Likewise, when you want to SELL the idea of police reform, you don't spew out phrases that sound like "let's get RID OF police"....
which IS what "Defund the Police" SOUNDS like to too many ears.
And instead of blaming the people who hear these defective slogans, try thinking about the shit job of selling you're doing by insisting
YOU are right and MILLIONS of other people are wrong.
You will not have any luck telling millions of people THEY ARE WRONG.
That's self evident by the mere fact that millions of people still think Trump is a successful businessman and not a con artist.

I don't think that AND I never said it. What I said was;

"There is enough proven insanity on both sides of the aisle"

Quite different from you opening sentence above.

The article I read said he was 19. I don't think I understand your point....
What do you mean by correcting his age and saying he was fresh out of high school?
 
The whole thing is straight up Q bullshit. Hawley uses it because he knows it strikes a cord with Cons who will only listen to headlines and 2 second sound bites.
So any criticism of a potentially lenient sentence for a crime against children can only come from Q bullshit?

Think about how your quote comes across as "both sides are the same."

In this case it does. Do a little research and you will find she is not out of line with her peers on the more conservative side with sentencing.
The Q child porn angle is just a ruse to incite followers to rally around, not based on any actual wrongs by the judge.

It sounds like we agree that word choice matters. It's why I believe that progressives should have gone along with some version of lifting the burden from police of being conflict defusers, social workers, mediators, and many other roles in addition to being law enforcers. It's why I intentionally write out the words Black Lives Matter, because I want the racists to have to deal with the deeply uncomfortable truth (for them) that Black lives matter.
 
Rick Perry wants to tax the POOR, but now seems to be walking that back for some reason. LOL.

Mitch has said he would not bring forth that Rick Scott RINO BS. Can Mitch be trusted? Not lately.

Take careful note and pay close attention here....TAX THE POOR is resonating with the voters about as well as "DEFUND THE POLICE" did.
The difference is, the Republican Messaging Machine IS going to take corrective action, and QUICKLY.

Let's not let them "walk it back", shall we?

Maybe to you. You know what they say; you hear what you want to hear and see what you want to see....

Can't help you with your obsession over this Qanon thing.
