After being chased out, the so-called QAnon Queen of Canada made her way to set up base in an abandoned school in rural Saskatchewan.

          Technically, yes, but she’s also batshit crazy, so you’d have to go back to George III for a comparison.

          She also has made calls for violence and is such a virulent anti-vaxxer that she has actually called for all vaccines to be destroyed.

          There are more gems at her Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romana_Didulo

            I’d assume you have to be batshit crazy to attempt something like this, yes.

            Why hasn’t she been arrested for calling to violence, trying to stage a coup, threating destruction of property or anything like that?

              Because authority figures seem to be really lenient to right wingers for some odd reason…

              Those who work forces, are the same who burn crosses

                The reason is politics. Right-wing polarizers are used by their opponents to scare voters into voting for non-right wingers. A sort of “Who will you vote for? Us who you sometimes dislike or for them who you always fear?”

                Plus if they’re arrested they’ll not only become martyrs for the cause, it’ll also create an opportunity for yet another right-wing leader to emerge.

                  Yeah, it wasn’t politics that had the cops hugging the Border Blockaders, or carrying food and water for the Ottawa Occupiers.

                  Politics kept Trudeau from calling a state of emergency earlier. It was soemthing else entirely that had cops singing kumbaya with people calling for the Prime Minister’s death.

                  In the United States (for example) every single terrorist attack or politically motivated murder in 2022 was committed by right wingers. Zero we’re committed by left wingers.

                  There’s something wrong with the right wing ideology at this point. It’s a where violent idiots and nut jobs go.

                  Nice cope.

            Though Didulo did not initially explain the basis for her claim to be the Monarch of Canada, she later clarified that she had been “appointed” to that position by an American named David J. Carlson, purportedly the “Commander-In-Chief” and “King” of the United States.

            She doesn’t even understand who has the power to appoint monarchs according to all previous monarchy laws.

      Have your subordinates go into the mayor’s office and tell them you’re in charge, like that’s gonna work.

    From the article: “It is unknown what DEFCON1 means.”

    It means nuclear war is happening or is about to happen.

    Nuclear. Goddamned. War.

    Drive these nutbars into the sea and keep them there.
