It is a favorite game in politics to take the most extreme member of the other party and then paint the entire party as extreme. However, when many candidates and officials plus the head of the party evidence nuttiness, it is fair to label the party as such.
That’s where the Republican Party is now. At a White House briefing on Wednesday, there was this exchange:
_Reporter: QAnon believes you are secretly saving the world from this cult of pedophiles and cannibals. Are you behind that?
President Trump: Is that supposed to be a bad thing? We are actually. We are saving the world._
QAnon believers, Trump says, are just a bunch of people who “love their country.” Actually, the FBI, in May 2019, said the conspiracy theory is a domestic terrorist threat pushing baseless allegations such as Pizzagate: “The FBI assesses these conspiracy theories very likely will emerge, spread, and evolve in the modern information marketplace, occasionally driving both groups and individual extremists to carry out criminal or violent acts.”

How do you get bigots and wackos out of Trump saying that he's going after child slavery? That's literally one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Then you post a picture of one single Trump supporter as though it defines the group as a whole and proves your salacious headline? Jesus. You are so far gone, I don't think there's any hope for you. Unless maybe you can explain… how you draw "wackos" and BIGOTS!!! LMFAO because......... drumroll please......... Trump's supporters are BIGOTS because he's going after child sex trafficking. Wow you really are unbelievable. Are you like 8 years old?
