Submitted for your approval. There is a universe parallel to our own, that exists in the space between fiction and fantasy, between what we want and what we fear, where reality is composed of transitory truths created to meet the moment, but never the future.

In this universe, Jewish Space Lasers start wildfires in California, Pizza Parlors are covers for pedophilia rings, and Hillary Clinton devours the faces of young girls.

It is a place where voting machines are controlled by dead revolutionaries, where the people are sheep and everyone else is controlled by the dystopian deep state and mainstream media. Pandemics are manufactured by the Chinese so that Bill Gates can use vaccines to inject microchips into your brain.

Enter a universe that exists without scale or measurement, between shadow and substance in...

Religion is brain AIDS. It compromises your immunity to B.S..

Rowland Temmerman wrote: {Marjory Taylor Greene} voters are uber conservative and didn’t vote her into Congress to represent them, to fight for their interests or their share of the big government money, to “bring home the bacon.”

They sent her to Capitol Hill to die on that hill, like Jesus Christ on the Cross at Calvary, in order to reenact the suffering of God’s chosen at the hands of His enemies.

Rowland Temmerman wrote: Marjorie Taylor Greene did not go to Washington to represent the will of the people, because, to God’s chosen, representing the will of “the people” is an abomination. Authority does not arise from below, from the consent of the governed. It descends from above, from God. It doesn’t matter to Greene that she was removed from committees—that the tools of lawful democratic engagement with other human beings worthy of dignity and respect were taken away—because democracy is the problem. To engage democratically in a republic of equals is to make nice with the enemy.

Greene and most of the rest of the Republicans fear a slippery slope, but it’s not a slippery slope into tyranny. It’s a slippery slope into freedom—for all. What they aim to preserve is a social hierarchy that protects but does not bind the privileged few while it binds but does not protect the unprivileged many. What they want is a state in which the small in-group and the huge out-group are separate and unequal. What they fear is a slippery slope threatening to bring liberty and justice to everyone else.

When I first read the quote below, I judged it to be a bit harsh and unrealistic.
