just one Trump supporter at the courthouse draped in a Trump flag.

Ever see the movie THEY LIVE? Guy finds special sunglasses that when worn show that a bunch of people are aliens.
This is how the trump era has been for me. Today saw an SUV that had 2 Q stickers. So f'ing crazy that there are so many out there, but I'm grateful for the sunglasses. It has been really helpful for traitors and crazy people to identify themselves rather than being hidden among us.
The self-immolating conspiracy theorist was identified by cops as Max Azzarello, a 37-year-old from St. Augustine, Florida, His Substack manifesto frequently mentioned the Clintons and the Clinton Global Initiative, linking them to Jeffrey Epstein and sex trafficking. He also parroted the popular QAnon conspiracy that all politicians—on both sides of the aisle—work together to maintain a world order that keeps them in power https://www.thedailybeast.com/man-sets-himself-on-fire-outside-trump-trial#QAnon
"I'm not a doctor, or an #epidemiologist, and I don't have any relevant education or experience. But, I can go to #MAGA and #Qanon websites and do my own research, and that makes me an authority whose opinion is just as good as those fancy experts!" ~Aaron Rodgers, professional schmuck
#WritersCoffeeClub 4. Do you feature real-world political and social issues in your work?
Yes. For starters, the 19th century German folk tales I am translating were deeply embedded in the political and social issues of their day.
For another, many of these issues are still relevant in the modern day. For instance, #antisemitism was unfortunately very common in German #folklore , and I wouldn't be doing my job if I just ignored this. And the #witchcraft panics have clear modern equivalents, like the "Satanic Pedophile Rings" conspiracy fantasies cooked up by #QAnon and others.
Human thoughts and human societies are shaped by their narratives. It is my hope that by shining a light on the narratives of the past, we can get a better understanding of the narratives of the present instead of being caught up in them.
"Earlier this week, Navy veteran Ervin Lee Bolling rammed his SUV into a barrier outside the FBI headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. The alleged perpetrator of the attack's motivation have not yet been publicly revealed, but a deep dive into his social media history suggests he was a strong believer in numerous far-right fringe conspiracy theories."
“Bigotry has rotted the Michigan Republican Party from top to bottom – they can’t look at a basketball team without going into a conspiracy-fueled frenzy.”
Politician decried "illegal invaders" at the Detroit airport. They were college basketball players arriving for the Sweet 16.
In #NorthCarolina, Michele Morrow, the #Republicans' choice for state school superintendent, has called for #JoeBiden, #BarackObama, and other Democrats to be executed by firing squad. She appears to be a #QAnon believer, using its slogan "WWG1WGA" and accusing various people of harvesting adrenochrome from babies.
Morrow's own kids are homeschooled, and she advocates dissolving the very public school system she's running to be in charge of.
