Survey: More than a quarter of white evangelicals believe core QAnon conspiracy theory
There was also significant support among white evangelicals for the claim that members of antifa, or anti-fascist activists, were ‘mostly responsible’ for the attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to the survey conducted by the conservative American Enterprise Institute.


(RNS) — A new survey reports more than a quarter of white evangelical Protestants believe a QAnon conspiracy theory that purports former President Donald Trump is secretly battling a cabal of pedophile Democrats, and roughly half express support for the debunked claim that antifa was responsible for the recent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Experts say the data point to a widening ideological divide not only between white evangelicals and other religious groups in the country, but also between white evangelical Republicans and other members of their own party.

The survey, which was conducted by the conservative American Enterprise Institute, reported 29% of Republicans and 27% of white evangelicals — the most of any religious group — believe the widely debunked QAnon conspiracy theory is completely or mostly accurate. QAnon has infiltrated other faiths as well, with 15% of white mainline Protestants, 18% of white Catholics, 12% of non-Christians, 11% of Hispanic Catholics and 7% of Black Protestants saying they believe it.

In addition, large subsets of each group — ranging from 37% of non-Christians to 50% of Hispanic Catholics — said they “weren’t sure” whether the theory was true.

I know a dude at work who goes all out with like 17 masks but he doesn’t wear any of the mf’er on his face because he can’t breathe I’m guessing.

Texas has made a sport of slagging on California for stress on its electrical grid but the extreme cold in Texas has revealed the serious issues with the ERCOT ISO (most of Texas has its own power grid that doesn't share into the regional power grids)

I think you can make that case that Texas shouldn't necessarily protect wind power generation against these kinds of very abnormal temperatures

but if that's the case, they should have had a plan for abnormal temperatures that ensures they have enough thermal energy to meet demand

probably the simplest fix is a complete political nonstarter in Texas, which would be to build synchronous connections between the Texas grid and neighboring grids

 

[mplsdunk]

I don’t want to give Texas any of my power, I’m sick of all these conservative handouts.

 

[heelsandeers]

Texas: **** the Feds, we have out own grid.

***BAD WEATHER***

Also Texas: FEMA HELP!!!!!!

Texas is a big scofflaw when it comes to free riding off federal disaster aid. they do little to mitigate potential damage from weather events, and then show up hat in hand to be paid for that entirely predictable damage

maybe that wouldn't be so bad if Texas was similarly generous in their views of other types of disaster aid elsewhere. when hurricanes wipe out New Jersey, Texas wants nothing to do with it

 

[blastercombo]

It’s funny because this isn’t outlandish conditions either. All things considered the weather sucks but it’s not that bad. Texas is just trash

 

[mplsdunk]

Yeah like the weather isn’t **** honestly. They just have the infrastructure of Haiti in Texas.

What's really shutdown though that people can't access? It feels like I can do everything, just need a mask or go to some country *** places where they don't care and didn't even try.

Texas always is unprepared for natural disasters but YOU BETTA NOT MESS WITH TEXAS.
