...America's upstart newcomer to the lucrative Conservative white supremacy market.
From The National Review Editorial board:
Against Jo Rae PerkinsAnd you can trust them because it's not the dirty, filthy, commie, race-traitor Liberal media who's saying it. It's your very good friends at The National Review!
On Tuesday, Jo Rae Perkins won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Oregon. The Oregon GOP says it will back her candidacy notwithstanding her associations with the “QAnon” movement. That’s a mistake. Perkins is an unreconstructed exponent of a batty and corrosive conspiracy theory running a longshot campaign that carries only political downside for Republicans. They should do what they can to distance themselves from her candidacy...
This isn’t a matter of the mainstream media smearing a Republican. Perkins touted the QAnon conspiracy in no uncertain terms until she won the primary...Kinda make a person suspect that not once in his entire cosseted career has the ambulatory venom sac named Rich Lowry ever met an actual Republican in the wild.
Then the editors of The National Review make the obligatory donation to the High and Holy Church of Both Sides Do It --
Conspiracy theories are not limited to one side of the aisle.-- before betraying their lack of down-home, Middle American, agricultural savvy by the confusing the term "beat back" --
But QAnon indulges old pathologies that the Right has over the years struggled to beat back.-- for the term "aggressively cultivate."
Finally, they try to invoke some sort of Imaginary Conservative Morals Clause --
Continuing to associate with Jo Rae Perkins would be a political error and more importantly a moral error...-- which, considering their hard-won position as a respected thought-leader of the perverts, bigots and imbeciles of the Dungheap Right, is just plain fucking hilarious.

Gee, TNR editorial board, I could have sworn that Ms. Perkins was nominated by receiving just north of 50% of the vote in the Republican primary in Oregon, ahead of three other Republican candidates.
If one didn't know better, it would almost appear that Republican voters LIKE unreconstructed exponents of batty and corrosive conspiracy theories... I mean like them a WHOLE LOT.
Like them at least more than three other Republican candidates, who I haven't looked into the proclivities to batshittery of, but being Republicans (and Oregon Republicans to boot) one can only assume to be a nonzero number, if not as publicly and flamboyantly expressed as those of Ms. Perkins.

The endless quest to make stupidity respectable.
I remember another candidate, in a much higher-profile race, that National Review pretended to take issue with.
Just curious - what are the conspiracy theories on the Left? I mean, national policy theories, not Bernie-bro fever dreams about the DNC and the primaries. Did the W administration remove all the O keys on the keyboards before they left? Is Grover Norquist a pedophile in the basement of Chik-Fil-A? Cause I am not aware of them.
President Biden should use his ultimate powers Trump has claimed for the presidency and GOP has second the motion of.
Use that power to sign executive Order and open up a GOP reservation. Like with the Native Americans. Where they can rule themselves and not have any representation in Congress.
Take a big swath of deep red Texas and open this reservation. Do a trail of tears, rounding up all the right wingers who would only have a problem with it for a Democrat doing it and only they can do it to others as GOP's like they cage immigrants.
They can chose their own chieftains, run casinos, make their own Tribal laws or not.
Do this as an experiment. Let it take its course. make sure it is contained to it's reservation borders.
Preferable using an Island like Haiti would be more secure. We could could relocate them to Somalia where most of their ideological beliefs are already present and lessen any adjustment periods of chaos.
Pull themselves up from their bootstraps in the world without socialism funding anything. no taxes, no government, no Liberals, no regulations or laws. You can cheat playing monopoly with your NAZI pals without shame.
I say lets experiment. Put their ideology to the test. Give them the great Right wing minds of our time like Charles Koch, McConnel, Trump, Nunes, David Brooks so they could have every advantage to succeed.
Have scientists observe and access. Give it 3 to 5 years and peer review it.
I doubt they would be able to agree on anything because there would be nothing to take away from those they hate to give to those they obey.
