I wonder how Marjorie Taylor Greene feels, knowing she got played by Steve Bannon & Jeffrey Epstein with their QAnon Save the Children BS
Steve Bannon being friends with Jeffrey Epstein after spending years doing his whole populist, “down with the elites” bullshit is so funny.
These entire movement is just criminals, liars, and sex offenders.

I keep arriving at the nagging theory in my head that Trump is not going to be the ultimate beneficiary in this move to authoritarianism. I still believe he will be out, by one means or another, before the midterms, and that Thiel and Musk and Vought and their puppet Vance will take the spoils.
