I quit watching the local news because the political ads are getting ugly

I live in a very red state. The Republican ads are equating the Dems with pedophiles and child beaters. On Morning Joe they reminded me that pedophile approach is right out of the Qanon playbook. On Vice channel series Searching for Q, I think they traced Qanon back to Michael Flynn. I thought that fit so well because with his military background he would know a lot about psy ops, psychological operations.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
