4/ Even Doug Wilson characterized Moscow, Idaho as a “blue dot.” That didn’t stop him. Image

10/ Image
11/ Doug Wilson’s annual “Repairing the Ruins” conference is coming to Pennsylvania on 6/23/23, less than a week before the Moms for Liberty annual summit, which will also take place in PA. Theocrats have targeted the Keystone state. They want it bad.

JD Vance & Peter Thiel are friends of Curtis Yarvin who once proposed (under his pen name) converting unproductive people into biodiesel. Yarvin said the proposal was a joke but that the joke “helps us describe the problem we are trying to solve. Our goal … is a humane alternative to genocide.” By @gilduran76, 7/22/24

Before the 2000 election, former Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris (R) used a faulty felon list to erroneously purge between 1100 and 12K properly registered voters. This alone may have sufficed to throw the election to Bush who later “won” by just 537 votes in FL. 1/ tampabay.com/news/politics/…Image
3/ New: “The Republican Supreme Court just blessed an illegal voter purge [in Virginia]. This is the latest in a string of favors this Court has done for the Republican Party.” 10/30/24 vox.com/scotus/380956/…Image
