      The Q people are not a major factor in the electorate in most districts, let alone states. Where they present a problem is in the state & local party apparatus, which are vulnerable to takeovers by zealots.https://twitter.com/johnddavidson/status/1356777861382721538 …

      The much-discussed GOP civil war between QAnon Republicans and non-QAnon Republicans is mostly a creation of the corporate press, Democrats, and never Trumpers, who would very much like it to be a thing. But it isn’t, and isn’t going to be. https://twitter.com/sarahnferris/status/1356771726353383427 …

      I agree that small contingents of nuts are typically a distraction from what the bulk of the party is about. But that is all the more reason to dispatch the small contingents of nuts from positions of authority with ruthless speed & unanimity.

          I think the biggest problem with that argument is when stuff like this happens:https://www.rawstory.com/georgia-republicans-support-marjorie-greene/ …

          @asymmetricinfo Well, you won’t get *unanimity*. If there were unanimity, there would be no nuts (or nothing but nuts).

          If Republican party had stood for good things, or at least, not totally bad things, this might be true. But they didn’t stand for much of anything. Guys like Rubio and Cruz, and to a lesser extent Romney when he ran in 2012. That’s why the “hostile” takeover worked. They folded.

          Low levels of participation in party events and organizations at the precinct, city, and county levels enable fringe groups to gain control. Twitter/FB posts won't defeat them. Opponents must show up at events, get to know who's who, and join forces with other like-minded Rs.

          Alas, when the "small contingent of nuts" includes the leader and face of the party it's a lot harder to claim they're a "distraction from what the bulk of the party is about".
