Georgia GOP Chair Goes Full Flat-Earth, Says Globes Are Part of a Conspiracy

“Every store, you buy a globe. There’s globes everywhere. Every movie, every TV show, news media — why? It doesn’t make sense.”

Georgia GOP Chair Goes Full Flat-Earth, Says Globes Are Part of a Conspiracy

“Every store, you buy a globe. There’s globes everywhere. Every movie, every TV show, news media — why? It doesn’t make sense.”

If earth is actually a globe, why are maps two-dimensional? Checkmate liberals.

Helluva launch from DeSantis. Definitely wasn't strange, underwhelming, or otherwise filled with avoidable errors...

I don't understand Ron, he's clearly smart enough to know that he has an image problem, but takes the worst possible steps to rectify it. He seems to have no iota of good political intuition.

He wore white Gucci boots to a disaster site, he’s not exactly good with intuition and perception

Hey man. He probably overheard two women talking about wether or not Gogo boots were chic.

LIBERALS owned with MAPS and LOGIC.

Let's be honest, the boots wore him.

I like how I just pop in here, and think "Wow, what a mess" and then I remember my nation is terrorizing others and the federation is falling apart.

Once upon a time I would have had a hearty laugh, confidently believing that she would never hold office again after saying such things. Now it's more likely to make her a celebrity of the party than it is to tank her career.

I mean, why should it make any difference whatsoever?

Because if she's that ignorant on this topic, what else could she be ignorant about and how will that affect her party's ability to actually do the best thing for the people?

Id rather not have people who believe in nonsense like flat earth running political parties or running for office.

[Greater Miami Shores 3]

The primaries are going to be a shitshow of candidates wavering between appealing to the base or trying to be normal, you can't be both.

It's like The Price is Right, but with fascism. Whoever presents the most like Hitler without going over the limit will win.

We Republicans are not Fascist Nazis of any kind, we are Republicans and there is nothing wrong with it.

Someone has to represent the flat earth demographic..

[Dimetrodon Empire]

In politics, stupidity is not a handicap.

American politics proves this correct.

1/4th of Americans believe the sun revolves around the earth: https://www.cnet.com/culture/earth-revo ... -say-nope/

Let's increase their representation too.

Who knows, but thinking that the earth is flat is hardly something that impacts her ability to create or support good policy for her people.

88% of Congress is Christian against a population of 65%, if anything they're over-represented.

Yes it does, it means she doesn't support or understand evidence in making her decisions.

No it doesn't, it means that she is ignorant about the shape of the Earth, not that she doesn't use evidence when making her decisions.

It's a pretty fundamental thing to be ignorant about..

Not really, the shape of the Earth doesn't really matter that much.

In all seriousness, I think this intelligence deficit explains everything wrong with the U.S.

Most of my countrymen aren't very bright, hence why we have all our problems.

This woman is a flat earther and ran for Senate in Delaware last year and lost in a landslide. She might very well run again. This isn't someone I want anywhere near elected office.

Whatever.. frankly in my opinion if you can't even get the shape of the earth right then all your other decisions are questionable.. but whatever..
