GOP is now the Home of the Conspiracy Theorists

This is a head scratcher that makes one wonder what are Republicans thinking? They are now tying themselves to Q-Anon the conspiracy theorists.

Freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s conspiracy theory views are being accepted as facts.

Among her claims are that 20 children killed at Sandy Hook and the killing at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida were staged and called them false flags. The American Airlines Flight 77, was crashed into the Pentagon on 9-11-2001 never happened. The 2018 California wildfires were caused by Jewish “space lasers.”

Greene has also said in blog posts that the debunked “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory, which claimed there was a Satanic, child child sex-trafficking ring at a Washington pizza restaurant—which convinced a man to fire three shots into the business in 2016—might be real.

Greene apologized for her past controversial remarks and embrace of the QAnon conspiracy theory during a heated closed-door House GOP conference meeting – and received a standing ovation at one point from a number of her colleagues. She hasn’t disavowed them. She also denied that she knew what Jewish space lasers were and defended her comments that past school shootings were staged by stating that she had personal experience with a school shooting.

Does the Republican Party want to be the party of conspiracies? It appears the answer is yes.

Qanon says nothing can stop what is coming – The Prophecies of Q

Most QAnon supporters say they believe “Q” is an anonymous government official sharing information about a secret battle between Trump and a powerful cabal of Democratic politicians, liberal celebrities and the “deep state.”

The conspiracy posts, first shared through the website 4chan in 2017, also hint at a much darker plot in which many of those figures control a worldwide child sex-trafficking ring.

“The basis of the QAnon theory is that a group of high-level officials close to Trump are leaking cryptic messages” about the secret conspiracy involving Democrats, the media and the “deep state,” View said. Believers view Trump “as savior of not just the country, but humankind,” and the person “who’s going to expose the Satan-loving deep state pedophiles once and for all,” he said.

“They are very worshipful of the current leader of the Republican Party,” who, View noted, “rose to political prominence on the back of ‘birtherism,'” the unfounded conspiracy theory that alleged that Obama was an illegitimate president because he was born in Kenya. Obama was born in Hawaii.

This article that appeared in the June 2020 addition of The Atlantic is all about the conspiracy theorists that are a part of American life. Longer than anything I would write for this blog but worth your time.
