Loomer, gaining this kind of support, is like AOC talking acid and being directly praised by the President for her actions

I wasn't aware that Laura Loomer, who quickly became my most hated person in politics, had actually decided to run for public office. Now, I'm simply terrified that she may win.

This woman is less deserving of political influence that Milo, and that's a pretty low bar. Many of you may not remember that she stormed the stage of a Shakespeare in the Parks production of Julius Caeser which dressed up Caeser as Trump.

Of course, Loomer and her supporters are too illiterate to understand Shakespeare. If she had stayed to act 3 scene 1, which came directly after Caeser's assassination, she would know that Antony said, "O pardon me thou bleeding piece of earth, that I am meek and gentle with these butchers. Thou art the ruins of the noblest man that ever lived in the time of times." She would also have known that Caeser was assassinated in the beginning of act 3 of a 5 act play. Those final 3 acts weren't just a celebration that orange Hitler was dead. Much of Shakespeare's play was a cautionary tale about the consequences of political violence.

Even if she weren't an idiot, which she is, but even if she weren't, which she is, but even if she weren't, it must not be lost on the rest of us the hypocrisy of a person who decries cancel culture and political correctness while engaging in cancel culture and political correctness and playing the victim card to gain public attention.

For all of Milo's flaws and bullshit ideas, he's never jumped on a stage to berate speech that he didn't like in the manner that's been done to him. Milo is at least articulate enough to cloak bad ideas in a veneer of credibility which is a quality which Loomer lacks.

Having the likes of AOC in public office is bad enough. Having Loomer in public office, to me, is the signal that the end is very fucking nigh. The fact that the President who was supposed to be the response to political correctness is praising Loomer's patriotic correctness really does show that the defenders of freedom are fighting a war on two fronts. I fear that it's a war that we'll continue to lose.
