On Thursday, New Hampshire’s newly elected Republican House Speaker died from COVID-19. A week after Rep. Dick Hinch tearfully accepted the nomination, he was found dead in his home. On Thursday, state officials announced that his death was related to COVID-19. Hinch had been Speaker for a week. He was beginning his seventh term as a representative from Merrimack, and had been the leader of his New Hampshire House GOP, which had flipped red this November.
On Thursday, New Hampshire’s Republican Gov. Chris Sununu spoke highly of the late Hinch, but also directed a warning at Republicans playing political games with public health, saying: “For those who are just out there doing the opposite just to make some ridiculous political point, it is horribly wrong. Please use your heads. Don’t act like a bunch of children, frankly.” This is rich coming from Sununu, who spent the first part of the pandemic referring to COVID-19 as “the flu” and downplaying calls for declarations of a public health emergency in his state. …
I’m sure it helped that he didn’t know how to properly wear a mask.
…Republican QAnon conspiracy theorist and failed Louisiana candidate Ben Gibson was just pulled into custody on Wednesday and charged for … yup: four counts of possession of child pornography “involving juveniles under the age of thirteen.”
To truly understand how profoundly hypocritical and grotesque the “Q” movement really is, they will sweep this under the rug like they do with any fact or piece of reality or logic that conflicts directly with their convoluted narrative. In recent months, the QAnon folks have used this blanket child trafficking conspiracy theory to argue against COVID-19’s true danger, and the need to overthrow our government and install a billionaire with dozens of sexual assault allegations against him, into power. …
Whenever one tries to suppress doubt, there is tyranny.

This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
