I think I understand what you are saying and I agree (the Nazi guy was in Illinois ... but still he got the nod). I think any dem would struggle in a normal +15R district, let alone a conspiracy theorist. I guess green party people struggle nation wide and I cant think of any dem candidate on the level of QANON (there probably is but I am ignorant of them).
Although, in my district, where Joe Cunningham (a very moderate Dem but is characterized as totally lock step with Pelosi and Schumer lol) beat Katie Arrington by 1 point in 2018 to flip the SC01 (Mark Sanford's old seat) and is now leading Nancy Mace by 13 points, demographics could shift. Both Katie and Nancy have gone full Trumper, but its likely SC01 is lost to GOP for the time being. I could forsee it easily being lost to a Dem for many cycles. Hell Jamie Harrision is very possibly capable of unseating Lindsey Grahamov.
Good example. Of the thirty House seats flipped by Dems in '18 but won by Trump in '16, including SC1, only three are considered Toss-Ups. Thirteen are Solid or Likely Dem. Fourteen are Lean Dem.
The biggest flips - Trump won Minn 7 by 30 pts. The District seat went Dem by 1 pt in '18. Maine 2, New York 22, Okla 5 as well as SC1 were all double digit wins for Trump in '16 and flipped by Dems plus all are favored to go Dem. Quite a number of Repub Reps are leaving with Dems expected to take their seats.
Are some here unaware Trump has been making the Q sign, tweeting Q phrases and slogans, and at rallies seeing Q signs among supporters?
QAnon candidates off the top of my head:
Have some not heard of Jo Rae Perkins, is a Q supporter running for Senate in Oregon? Perkins won 49% of the Rep vote in a four candidate primary race. Perkins who on winning told her supporters “Where we go one, we go all” (Q's slogan) – and said, “Thank you anons. Thank you, patriots.”
Not heard of Lauren Boebert running for Rep in Colorado 3?
Or missed Trump's endorsement of Marjorie Taylor Greene in Ga 14 winning 57% of the Rep primary votes? Greene has said: "There's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take this global cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles out, and I think we have the president to do it."
Trump sent his congratulations calling her a "rising star" in the Republican Party
Congratulations to future Republican Star Marjorie Taylor Greene on a big Congressional primary win in Georgia against a very tough and smart opponent. Marjorie is strong on everything and never gives up - a real WINNER!
How about Angela Stanton-King for the Rep House candidate in Ga 5 who says BLM is “a major cover up for PEDOPHILIA and HUMAN TRAFFICKING”. She was the only Rep candidate in the primary.
Delaware Reps choosing Witzke over a Marine with twenty years of service in intelligence and Judge Advocate with the memberships I listed is truly a major shift in party voting even regardless of Trump encouragement and endorsement.
Boebert's former aide described the Proud Boys as "pro everything that makes America great." Boebert has said "Everything that I've heard of Q, I hope that this is real. Because it only means that America is getting stronger and better, and people are returning to conservative values."
Witzke's aide was dismissed only when it was learned he scheduled meeting with white supremacist, anti-Semitic and hate group.
Of all those Q candidates, Perkins and Witzke will lose their races for Senate seats. Stanton King is sure to lose in that district - John Lewis' former seat. Taylor Greene will be the first Q follower in Congress. Boebert's primary win in a reliable Republican district (R+6) should make her the second, but her fringe stances may make moderates hesitant.
Check out Pence, Don Jr, Eric attending diffferent fund-raisers hosted by QAnon supporters as well as a video of Trump making the Q sign and saying "the storm is comimg" in the White House at a photo op. The fringe has arrived to welcoming arms. It's just not your father's Republican Party.
