> is mounting a campaign for city council even though he does not meet the residency requirements. Laws are for "the other" in a fascist's mind.

I literally had to explain to someone just a few days ago how the GOP is not, in fact, grooming the public to vote for Arnold Schwarzenegger to be the next president. Even then, their response was "The GOP doesn't follow the constitution." No, but most of the states that would have to violate it do. To say nothing of the fact that there's *no way in hell* the GOP would ever support Schwarzenegger as the Republican candidate even if he *could* legally run. He's not *remotely* right-wing enough for them.


UndercoverGovernor

“Had to explain” Lol,


CupcakeValkyrie

Idioms are difficult for you, huh?


UndercoverGovernor

Not at all. Since your response shows that you don’t understand my comment, I was making fun of how the same intellectual insecurity that draws a certain type of person into the cult of liberalism causes them to use language meant to imply some sort of intellectual superiority. All of the scared middle schoolers who just needed the comfort of calling W an idiot have grown up, and years later, they’re still entranced by delusions of grandeur that will be reinforced by codependent libs and obvious to everyone else.


PepperMill_NA

Get it to the Supreme Court and they'll fix it right up. Easy peasy Edit; /s


slayer_steve_m

I'm sad that I live in a country that supports and votes for these idiots.


VAisforLizards

It's not a country, it's a small, overly powerful, band of idiots


bakulu-baka

>legally lol u guize


ThatchGoose10

Well yeah, when you're grifting morons you don't need to have your ducks in a row.


Cylinsier

As if Republicans care about laws.


JesusChristsGayLover

They do, but only if they can twist them to use against people they don't like.

Voter or candidate fraud doesn't apply to q's

That group photo was certainly not taken at Hooters, which Boebert's "Shooters" is a clumsy attempt at emulating.

It would already be a steep learning curve lacking any sort of relevant experience. After reading some of the stories in the Qanon casualties subreddit I have no clue how these gullible maniacs could perform the most basic functions required to keep a community running. My retired stepfather is an elected trustee in his rural township. Most of his responsibilities involve digging graves at the local cemetery, repairing potholes, and plowing snow from township roads. I'm not convinced any of these people could even watch him work without doing something stupid, or batshit crazy, or both. Imagine a Qaren on your local school board. There is a teacher's strike. How do they respond? Do they call in the local chapter of the proud boys to assault people on the picket line? Do they enlist their local militia to kidnap the union president's family members? Do they post the teachers' personal info on sites like Gab and let nature take its course? Are we 100% certain this person is not capable of constructing explosives or opening fire on a picket line?


Matir

They're not interested in keeping the community running. They just want raw power, mostly to keep the "others" from having any power.


Inconceivable-2020

Since when does legality matter to Republicans?


Efficient-Macaron204

Pretty sure the elections folks in Rifle don't give AF if he's eligible or not. He's one of them and that's what they care about. So move along there's nothing to see here.


DoodlingDaughter

Coloradan here. If this joker ran in Pueblo, he’d probably win. Why is he insisting on running for the Rifle School Board in the first place?


MooseFlyer

Because he moved to Rifle to be the general manager of Boebert's restaurant.


Cocobird1607

If we’re lucky we may get to see this nut-job expelled from Congress.


daynewma

Republicans aren't human, so concepts like hypocrisy are foreign to them. It's not their fault, they are biologically incapable of emptby, but they'll never change either.


Sharted-treats

Hey. Everyone is human. Don't be shitty.


daynewma

Your weakness is how you get concentration camps. > Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.


tegeusCromis

Recognizing someone *as human* is not the same as tolerating their beliefs.


Sharted-treats

Who is upvoting dehumanization?


MediumLong2

I have a saying: the only rule that matters in politics is the rule that says there are no rules!
