I guess if they are going to say COVID-19 is a hoax and over 100,000 dead due to COVID-19 hoax, then nothing is off limits to the right wing.

And a third claimed that George Soros, the liberal billionaire, paid white cops to murder black people and black people to riot because race wars keep the sheep in line.
All of these posts were shared in recent days by Republican county leaders in Texas, some of whom are now facing calls to resign from top officials within their own party, including Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn and Gov. Greg Abbott, who called the posts disgusting, the Texas Tribune reported.
The posts have unleashed a firestorm of controversy in the state of 29 million where Republicans are struggling to beat back Democratic advances in the rapidly diversifying electorate.

(7,868 posts)not the lunatic fringe that they sound like. I hear the same garbage from people who are mainstream GOP voters here. They're addicted to all the right-wing propaganda and can't tell the difference between what IS real and what is an obvious distortion. That the reasoning in such an egregious fantasy is so contradictory does not prevent them from buying into it. Their fear and superstition blind them.
Once again, these ARE the mainstream GOP: leaders and followers who are fools and fantasists alike.
