    You have nooo idea. This is kind of the tip of the crazyberg, but he runs for some office in every election and actually got 14% of the vote last year. It’s alarming, tbh.

        Yeah. He actually goes door to door and talks to people, I guess, and he’s pretty good at reining in the crazy in person, so if they’re not on social media, they don’t realize. Plus, he gets votes from people who vote straight republican and don’t pay attention to the individual candidates. He’s never even come close to winning, but he gets way more votes than he should (1 is the number he should get, just his own).

      We used to have a guy in my hometown who would run for mayor every year on the communist party ticket, and also annually the fire department would descend upon his house and forcibly remove a forest’s worth of newspapers. This was before the term hoarding was on the radar.
