Here’s another reminder of how far to the extreme low brow right the American conservative movement has swung.
The only political experience Mike Lindell has comes from his having eagerly accepted Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was rigged with massive voter fraud, for which there is exactly zero evidence.
As a consequence, Lindell is facing multiple lawsuits, including a June 2025 verdict ordering him to pay $2.3 million to a former Dominion Voting Systems employee for defamation. He also faces lawsuits from Smartmatic for defamation and a suit over a $3 million unpaid loan.
That’s it, folks. No experiencing running a small town in Alabama, let alone a state full of well-educated progressives in which Trump lost to Kamala Harris by a full 4% in 2024.

You may be asking yourself why Missouri Republicans did this.
Well, what’s in it for these people to foster a generation of bright, literate youngsters with a thirst for learning?
Absolutely zero.
To be successful, would-be fascists need as much ignorance in the population as possible.
Keep this in mind next time you receive hear news about the dismantling of scientific institutions and the destruction of public education.
One of the most pathetic themes in modern-day American life is the way be get so upset about things that have essentially zero bearing on the quality of our lives.
Look, we do have real problems. Real problems. Environmental collapse, nuclear war, the devastation of public education, the growing chasm between rich and poor, people dying of treatable diseases.
But rooting out the (very few) trans people from the U.S. military should be of no concern to any of us.
