Oh, Canada

Just in case you were wondering ‘why can’t the U.S. be sane or WAY less insane like, ya know, Canada?’ OR maybe you were wanting to know ‘why are all the batshit crazies in the U.S.?’ Maybe this bit of news out of Saskatchewan might make you feel better. Or not.

She claims to be the Queen of Canada, and now she's holding court in an abandoned school.

Ms Didulo and her followers spread a variety of different beliefs, including sovereign citizen, anti-vaccination conspiracies, and ideas related to QAnon - a wide-ranging, completely unfounded theory that says former US President Donald Trump is waging a secret war against elite Satan-worshipping paedophiles in government, business and the media.

Ms Didulo also frequently calls for violence against those administering Covid vaccines to children, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
"She's the ultimate anti-government person," Ms Sarteschi said, noting that Ms Didulo regularly threatens to execute her opponents. (source)

Didulo's Telegram channel has 36,000 followers. Not Selena Gomez on Threads numbers (7.3 million followers) but it ain't chicken feed. Every whack-a-loon dictator wannabe has to start somewhere.

In the benighted, bug-fuck U.S.A. the five biggest exports are:

1. Gasoline and Other Fuels
2. Crude Petroleum
3. Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) and Other Natural Gases
4. Civilian Aircraft Parts
5. Passenger Vehicles

Fer realies, I would have named the top five exports as:

1. Hollywood films and teevee shows
2. Guns
3. Unhinged Violence
4. Crackbrained Lunacy

and

5. the ever popular, indignant, entitled, rhetorical bullshit of DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM (see Cancun Cruz and Lauren New Boobs)

The fecal-brained Trump Crime Klan and their barking mad followers fall neatly under the Crackbrained Lunacy header. A solid oozing chunk of them fit in the Unhinged Violence category too (see January sixth seditionists). I’m wondering if, when Cheeto and the Cheetettes finally go to prison, along with their faithful worshipers (AKA deranged, dumb-fuckian treason weasels) will Trumpism turn into a full blown Jim Jones style cult. Perhaps it is already.
