Sidney Powell's conspiracy theories are almost exactly the sort of thing that I'd expect a neural network trained on alt-right media to develop. And it seems to me like she treated recent events almost like a contest to see who could make the most outlandish claims. The Hugo Chavez stuff was awesome. Real "OG Kook of the Year" material. Too much even for Trump. He probably cringes at her Southern twang, too.

But yeah, Powell, the lawyer that's been "defending" Michael Flynn is also now the nation's foremost genius on multiple states' election laws? Nah.

The majority of our self-described "elite strike team" of lawyers contesting the election laws are three people previously helping Trump extort the president of Ukraine. Giuliani, Toensing, and DiGenova are almost certainly in some type of joint legal defense agreement that will likely unravel if Trump is removed and they are investigated. So they also went from foreign policy shadow agents to election law specialists within a year? Nah.

I thought I might use my shiny, new Parler account to stoke the conspiracies discouraging idiots from voting in the Georgia election, but I can't bring myself to do it.

I don't know how you do it. I spent a couple days on conservative Twitter in 2016 trying to promote a pro-Trump song I wrote, and it was too much. I felt dumber by the minute, and my head started to hurt (way worse than with normal Twitter). Take care of yourself.

    pro-Trump song I wrote

I'm not interested in this at all. What? No, I just quoted that back to you to let you know how uninterested I am. It'd be terrible if you posted/link it. I mean, I wouldn't listen, because I don't want to, right? So don't. Don't show me, or anyone else here, for that matter, it's not the type of thing we'd be interested in.

This is, fundamentally, the InfoWars playbook.
