YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

There will be 15 QAnon-linked individuals running for office on ballots across the country in November, and all of them are running as Republicans. This isn’t sitting well with the Republican Party, but this is the kind of culture that they have fostered for years within their own party. The overt hatred that they have towards Democrats and their refusal to argue in good faith created QAnon, now their monster threatens to derail their hopes of not being destroyed in November. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Well, the November ballot is still kind of taking shape right now. We still have some States, some areas of certain States that have yet to do primary. So we're not a hundred percent sure who all will be on the ballot, but we do have a pretty good idea. And right now we know that at least as of, as of today, there are going to be no fewer than 15 Q and non linked Republicans on November's back. 15 followers of these outrageous conspiracy theorists that popped up online within the last three years. This is a group by the way, the law enforcement officials at the FBI have identified as dangerous. And as a threat, one of them, a one Q Anon believer Q and on follower was actually arrested. Not that long ago. Uh, as she livestreamed her attempt to go murder Joe Biden, she was on a mission, a Q and on mission to go murder Joe Biden.

Um, yeah, but Republican's sells Antifa is what we need to worry about. Right? Ooh, those people that have never killed anybody, never been arrested for plotting to kill someone. Those are the ones we should be worried about, but deep down Republicans know that Q Anon are the folks we should be worried about. And we know that because they're actually worried about it. You see the Republican, party's not happy that Q Anon has decided to hitch their little wagon to the Republican party. They're not happy that they're going to have members of their party embracing Q and on, on the campaign trail. And some of these Republicans unfortunately do look like they are in a position to win. Most of them will not. Uh, most of them are going to go down in a blaze of glory, uh, in deep blue districts against incumbent Democrats. They have no chance of winning at all, but in other areas, there are some areas where these Q Anon believers have actually challenged incumbent Republicans in the primaries.

And one they're in red districts. They have a good chance of winning their elections, but the Republican party is a little less certain about that. They think that these Chu and odd followers, because this is crazy, they think it could cost them those seats. And to be honest, I hope it does. I have to read this. I have to read this from vice news. Uh, last year, an FBI bulletin from the Bureau's Phoenix field office described conspiracy theory, driven extremists as a growing threat and singled out Q Anon and its predecessor pizza gate. And yet candidates running for office are sharing slogans associated with Q Anon either because they believe it or because they think it will help win support from manga types. Since the start of the COVID-19, Trump has shared at least 90 tweets from 49 Q Anon accounts. And that's according to an analysis by media matters.

Um, so yeah, the Republican party itself is not happy because believe it or not there actually still are some grownups within the Republican party. Now these are grownups I disagree with on every single issue. These are grownups that would love to strip you of every rights you have and allow corporations to pour toxic waste, right on top of you.
