GOP Flat Earthers
Jun 1^st, 2023 at 10:27am

Just when you think you've heard everything from the crazy Republicans, this bible-thumping moron comes along:

"Everywhere there’s globes": Georgia GOP chair goes full flat-earther in wild rant

A recently elected Georgia GOP district chair revealed that she believes the world is flat and that the proliferation of globes is part of a conspiracy.

During an interview on Kandiss Taylor's podcast "Jesus, Guns, and Babies" with David "Flat Earth Dave" Weiss and Matt Long, the trio discussed what they deemed the biblical evidence that the planet is flat. Taylor told Weiss and Long that the more she learns about flat earth, it "doesn't make sense the other way."

"The people that defend the globe don't know anything about the globe," Weiss responded. "If they knew a tenth of what Matt and I know about the globe they would be Flat Earthers."

Later in their discussion, Taylor lamented the volume of globes she sees in her everyday life likening their presence to a conspiracy.

"All the globes, everywhere. I turn on the TV, there's globes in the background," she said.

"Everywhere there's globes. You see them all the time, it's constant. My children will be like 'Mama, globe, globe, globe, globe' — they're everywhere," she added.

"And that's what they do to brainwash," she continued. "For me, if it is not a conspiracy. If it is real, why are you pushing so hard everywhere I go? Every store, you buy a globe, there's globes everywhere. Every movie, every TV show, news media — why?"

Well, yeah. If someone knew one-tenth of what you know (being that you are a flat-Earther), it is foreseeable that that person would be a moronic flat-Earther, too.

1. I’m a Bible believer (not a bible thumper.).

2. The Bible does NOT say that the earth is flat.

3. I think this woman might well be referring to light globes 💡????

the polarisation being driven by social media algorythms is pushing everyone to the edge.

AOC plays a similar game on the left

attention is the new currency

evidence....gweg and many others are paying attention to this new "flat earther"

what we pay attention to , we value.

trump is very valuable to gweg

this lady has some value.

a centrist sane politician is just background furniture and has no value

ever get the feeling your reptilian brain has been hijacked ?

The woman is insane.

Thus, she fits right in with the "modern" Republican Party.

I just hope she gets the help she needs.

Usually, I would think people involved in the flat Earther movement are just trolling the internet, and do not actually believe the world is flat. But, I have heard some whopper stories. At one point, the Americans thought that Australia operated on a different calendar than they did, simply because I said it was the next day here.

" In total, 84% of Americans responded that they believe the Earth is round. While the large majority believe the world is round, young millennials aged 18 to 24 are more likely to subscribe to the flat Earth belief (4%)."

"Comparing religious beliefs, YouGov found that Democrats are slightly less likely to believe the Earth is round than Republicans (83 versus 89 percent, respectively). "
