GOP congressional candidate from Florida says she met space aliens

I know people who were considering a vote for Jill Stein until they found out she’s an anti-vaxxer

She’s not, and you know it. Can you finally stop lying about her now that the election’s over? Pollution-loving corporate sponsored Democrats already have done enough damage this election cycle - by knocking Sanders out of the race, effectively electing Trump.

Oh No Ross and Carrie just finished their “summer of UFOs” and encountered the specific belief in the “Nordic” alien conspiracy at some of the confetrnces. Basically a belief in an aryan super race of blonde haired blue eyed superior beings that they believe can save the earth. The white supremacy inherent in it isn’t lost on thr them and they try to weasel around it, but fail.

From their reporting UFers in large part hate Hillary, despite her open pro-disclosure stance and while being crystal hughers, they lean conspiratorial, so are being sucked up by right wing talk radio. It’s a funny political shift that seems to resemble the American right and left swapping rilea as to which is perceived as “The Establishment” This lady could be a believer, or she could just see the glowing green political writing on the wall.

I thought most Republicans are opposed to extraterrestrial joyrides.

It’s not more true than alien abductions, but comparing the two and saying they all need to shed belief in their deity to be fit for public office is just completely unhelpful and a irreligious test is no better than a religious test for office.

If you read what I said, I didn’t say that at all. I said that anyone who uses that as a justification for policy is unfit for office. If someone talks to god about their personal journey, that’s totally fine. If they bring it up as a justification for policies that affect everyone, that is dangerous madness.

Of course it is. That’s why we should vote against any such candidate.

I apologize. In my rapid rereading of the thread I confused your comment with that of @davide405, who said…

@davide405

But I do wish that people who are actively delusional would be disqualified from seeking office.

That part I emphasized is what I was replying to. Sorry for the confusion.

And then there’s Nation of Islam, more a UFO cult than Muslim, which checks all the boxes, but flips the color. (Their team-up with Scientology beyond strange.)
