You read that correctly. Conservatives are drawing down their retirement and running up credit card payments to finance their fascist fantasies.

Kansas Republican drew down retirement to finance recount of the state's abortion referendum
According to The Kansas City Star, the recount was requested last Friday by Melissa Leavitt, a Colby resident who has testified to the Kansas Legislature about 2020 election conspiracy theories.
The Star does a great job of laying out just how pitiful and desperate Leavitt and fellow anti-abortion activist Mark Gietzen were to sow doubt over an undoubtable result. Apparently, the two werent able to come up with the funds for a statewide hand recount, which meant only nine of the state's 105 counties were examined. And they even paid for part of the audit with a credit card.
From the Star:
Leavitt ultimately raised more than $50,000 online for the abortion recount, but her main benefactor was Mark Gietzen, a longtime anti-abortion activist from Wichita. Gietzen also leads the Kansas Republican Assembly, a hard-right alternative to the traditional Republican Party. Leavitt originally requested a statewide recount, which Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwabs Office estimated would have cost about $230,000. Leavitt and Gietzen on Monday managed to put forward just under $120,000, with Gietzen using a credit card for the Kansas Republican Assembly and money from his own retirement account.
