This woman isn’t ok, she’s sitting alone in her car crying about things she believed the government has done. But what she believes is Q conspiracies, that are not true. She’s seriously distraught. There are so many mags out there like her. These people are a danger to society.
Holy shit, y’all. It’s worse than anyone could have imagined.

As a life long Texan and someone who has been watching Texas politics closely for years, I will tell you this. The reason Beto is so loved and so many people believe in him is because he’s out there being vocal against what’s happening in Texas, not DC. That matters.

Remember when Republicans blamed Biden for the price of eggs and you had to explain to them that Biden didn’t have a big red egg price button??
The egg industry was engaging in price fixing!! How many other industries, besides oil, are doing this??
BREAKING: America's largest egg producers and industry groups illegally rigged the market to drive up the price of eggs, a jury has found.
Their price-fixing scheme included exporting millions of eggs overseas to drive up U.S. prices around Thanksgiving and Easter.
