(1,690 posts)Are you telling me you never got so drunk/stoned/high that even Ayn Rand made sense? I get that you grew up and sobered up, but its not like most of us havent gotten our minds altered enough to have stuff like that make sense. The problem as I see it is that youre not supposed to be publicly impaired or drive while under the influence, but these folks are and do. We should be asking if that kind of impairment also detrimentally impacts their ability to drive or perform other tasks that place others at risk.
Fundamentally saying your political opponents are insane is wrong, but the QAnnon stuff is so delusional that you must be concerned about adherents grasp on reality. Coupled with the Proudboys eliminationist rhetoric, Id say this is extraordinarily volatile moment. Will the QAnnon folks recognize Proudboys shooting blacks, liberals and other out groups as murder? Given what weve seen to date I think we can guess.
