Oregon Republicans just nominated an avowed QAnon

(CNN)Oregon held its primary election on Tuesday, a mostly ho-hum affair, with Joe Biden cruising to a win over Bernie Sanders in the Democratic presidential race and no incumbents facing any real tests either.

You'll notice I said that it was a "mostly" boring election, not an entirely boring election. In fact, Oregon Republicans did something very, very odd -- and potentially disastrous -- in choosing their nominee to take on Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley in November.

What they did is nominate Jo Rae Perkins, a financial adviser and self-professed QAnon conspiracy theorist. In a video posted to Twitter following her victory, Perkins said this:

"Where we go one, we go all. I stand with President Trump. I stand with Q and the team. Thank you Anons and thank you patriots -- and together we can save our republic."

QAnon "conspiracy" theory Wiki defined.

#1 Maybe it'd be better to stay "anon" about the enQsiasm until you're in a position to do something about it.

#3 All efforts to destroy anything conservative. They will fail as they are now.

#4 The Soetoro, Clinton, Brennan, Comey, Clapper 'bubble.'

Michael Hastings, The Operators, Pages 62-63
I'd seen the bubble in the White House, on the campaign trail, inside embassies, at the highest levels of large corporations. The bubble had a reality-distorting effect on those inside it, while perversely convincing those with the bubble that their view of reality was absolute true. ("Establishment reporters undoubtedly know a lot things I don't," legendary outsider journalist I.F.S one once observed. "But a lot what they know isn't true.") The bubble compensated for is false impressions by giving bubble-dwellers feelings of prestige from their proximity to power. The bubble was incredibly seductive, the ultimate expression of insiderness. If I succumbed to the logic of the bubble, I would lose the desire to write with a critical eye.

A bit of virtue signalling and finger pointing by the perfidious, loathsome Hastings, but nonetheless accurate.

#6 It's not a conspiracy that the Obama regime and his stooges attempted a coup. D.Bongino and S.Powell articulate the same arguments supported with the same facts as qanons. Of course the fan fiction of Bongino's base differs from the fan fiction of the qanon's. Like with any signal, you need separate the message from the noise. And the message from the three are the same.

#7 I don't think the efforts were coordinated, but clearly a large number of liberal Washington Bureaucrats stayed beyond with no intention of following any change in orders from the new admin, or in some cases as active saboteurs. I think deep state is as good a name as any for such garbage.
