A win by Marjorie Taylor Greene would be a headache for G.O.P. leaders since she supports QAnon, a fringe group pushing a pro-Trump conspiracy theory. Her opponent, John Cowan, is no less conservative, but does not believe in a “deep state” of child-molesting Satanist traitors.

Considering that Alex Jones has fed a lot of the conspiracy jibe into Trump, (some of which he repeats verbatim) then they are only getting a more honest example of what they have been courting all along via the Orange Monster.

The QAnon is just more explicit and obvious. The GOP is mating with the Delusional Party and so, that's the ticket for chaotic, fringe insanity and a means to welcome it even more into mainstream politics.

This is both detrimental to the GOP, (since they sleep with these strangers for votes) and to our consensus about reality, politics and government.

Rather than standing by and hoping the delusional fringe will just add more votes to their tally, the GOP should be putting on the brakes, calling this stuff out and opposing it outright instead of risking even more irrelevance, (they have plenty) by tolerating it and ignoring the ramifications for the entire nation.

Ah, but the fringe QAnon is all in for Trump, and we know why and what that means so I won't go into detail. It is just odd to me that they believe in having the "inside" information that will "free" them and it all only serves to bend them into supporting a person and a party that is demonstrating the opposite all the time. That's sad and laughable and totally off the mark.
