According to a recent Washington Post article, the Trump campaign actively courted the online conspiracy community QAnon in the lead-up to the 2020 election, which makes an alarming combination. Twitter has banned 7,000 accounts related to the QAnon conspiracy theory, all of whom have violated the site’s policy on harassment. Twitter will also limit the …

One of the big reasons Trump won 2016 was the intensity with which people hated Hillary Clinton. Joe Biden simply doesn’t garner that kind of hate, and as a result, Trump won’t be able to use his bullying tactics to pump up his base.

The protests in Portland, Oregon have become peaceful as the federal agents left, justifying their claim that it was the police who were instigating the violence.

As Trump’s polling numbers get worse and as his campaign drags, he’s looking for ways to stay in office…and none of them are legal. In a recent tweet, he floated the idea of postponing the November election, which of course he cannot do. Such an obvious move may actually be a smokescreen for another way …

Bill Montgomery, cofounder of the pro-Trump youth group Turning Point USA, has died of COVID. Montgomery’s death prompted the group to remove a tweet in which they mocked masks.
