Tina Peters

Secretary of State, Colorado

Tina Peters is a Trump acolyte, an election conspiracy theorist, and is running for Secretary of State in Colorado. She has also been arrested and indicted for tampering with voting equipment, the first official indicted in the 2020 election fiasco. She has been charged with 10 counts, seven of which are felonies, including conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation and attempting to influence a public servant.

She has been under investigation since August, when information she copied from servers showed up at Mike Lindell's conspiracy-laden symposium. Despite the fact that state GOP officials have demanded she drop her run based on the fact that she is indicted on felony charges, Peters has refused. She calls the indictments politically motivated. She has stated, “I’m willing to go as far as it takes to do what needs to happen. I mean, God’s called me, He’ll sustain me and He’s surrounding me with His people. So, I feel very good.”

The Secretary of State position is key to the election process, and control is what the GOP has made a priority moving forward based on the roundly debunked The Big Lie and supposed "election security." It is, in short, an attempt at a peaceful coup.

Herschel Walker

U.S. Senate, Georgia

Herschel Walker has what we call "the pedigree" for politics, being a popular star football player and all. Some call it a recipe for success. But the GOP has been privately concerned about Walker's effect on the party. It's just that they don't stand up to Donald Trump, who has endorsed Walker.

The first red flag came when his campaign lied about his having graduated from college. He never finished. Add to that the fact that his often-rambling commentary is disjointed and fails to make a point, as we saw with his position on Biden's Build Back Better.  But those are the least of Walker's downsides. Documents obtained by the Associated Press reveal a very dark side.

Walker has been diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (multiple personality disorder), and Walker himself has revealed that he has struggled with as many as a dozen personalities and acknowledges violent urges. Walker has threatened his ex-wife's life more than once, and in 2001, she divorced him citing “physically abusive and extremely threatening behavior.” In spite of his claims that he has healed himself, a second woman came forward in 2012 with claims of threats from Walker. 

It doesn't end here; it also appears that Walker has embellished his business successes. His shady business practices have raised concerns with several of his business partners. Seems like the perfect fit for Donald Trump, but not the nation.

Heidi St. John

U.S. Congress, Washington

Perhaps nobody frightens me more than Heidi St. John, a Christian nationalist home-schooling advocate who has frequently invoked the Seven Mountains mandate. In essence, this mandate seeks to make the U.S. a literal Kingdom of God governed under Biblical, not secular, law. This is not an exaggeration.

They have been at it for decades, and they are now on the rise in the wake of Trump's administration. St. John sees politics as a spiritual battle and has vowed to “bring back the name of God into the political sphere.” She has called public libraries "evil organizations," and says she gave up her library card years ago. Since then, she has become a prolific writer and blogger herself because she, of course, is the sole repository of truth in God. She has encouraged parents to remove their children from public schools calling them "government indoctrination centers."

St. John is also an anti-masker, claiming that COVID-19 virus was "weaponized" to hurt Trump's reelection chances, and calls people who wear masks "sheep." Perhaps she should be forced to face the families of the nearly one million who have died in the United States alone and say that to them with a straight face. St. John claims that "This nation is a Christian nation," even though the founding fathers, whom the right just loves to invoke, say the exact opposite.

She is just one of the Christian nationalists who is determined to enslave us under this disgusting and oppressive form of government. St. John is challenging Republican Jaime Herrera Buetler, who had the courage to vote in favor of Trump's impeachment.

Laura Loomer

District 11 House, Florida

Laura Loomer is a far-right activist, blogger, conspiracy theorist, self-described "proud Islamaphobe," and Internet personality (influencer). Loomer has worked for Project Veritas and has been a contributor to InfoWars. She has also been a politician since 2020, when she lost a challenge to Democrat Lois Frankel in Florida, in spite of being bankrolled by big-name conservatives. But she's back.

This time Loomer is running in Florida's 11th district. To say that the GOP has thrown character requirements out the window would be an understatement. Loomer is one of the most bigoted and polarizing humans on the planet. In 2017, she charged the stage of a New York theater group's production of Julius Caesar, interrupting the play, and screaming about normalizing violence against the far right, and Donald Trump in particular.

She streamed the incident on Periscope the whole time. When it was reported that 2,000 migrants had died on crossing the Mediterranean from Africa to Europe, she celebrated by tweeting "Good. Here's to 2,000 more." Loomer has been banned from Lyft and Uber for tweeting that there are too many Muslim drivers and that there should be an alternative Muslim-free service She has been banned from both Twitter and Instagram for her hateful comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar, who she said was pushing for another 9/11 and suggested that patriots "rise up" against her.

Loomer even attacked the survivors of the Parkland shooting by tweeting, "It's obvious these kids are reading a screen or notes someone else wrote for them." Laura Loomer is a terrible human being, and there is no place in public service for someone like her.

Janice McGeachin 

Governor, Idaho

Janice McGeachin is currently the Lt. Governor of Idaho, but she has been making the current governor's life (Brad Little) a misery since the earliest days of the COVID-19 pandemic. She overturned his mask mandate while he was out of town at a Governor's meeting. He found out about this on Twitter. 

When Governor Little ordered the bars closed for a period of time during lockdown, she personally defied his orders and opened her bar. In the fall of 2020, McGeachin made an anti-mandate video driving around in a pick-up truck with a gun and a Bible, vowing to protect everyone's individual rights during the pandemic.                McGeachin also has an affinity for domestic terrorist groups.

She posed outside her office with two members of the Three Percenters, even making the white supremacist hand sign with them. In 2018, during her first campaign, she hired members of the Three Percenters for security details and, again while Governor Little was out of town, she administered the oath to several Three Percenters, making them members of the state's National Guard.

In May of 2021, she announced that she was running against Little, picking up an endorsement from Michelle Malkin, an anti-Islamist, Holocaust-denying blogger, as well as militia leader Eric Parker, who was charged for his role in the Bundy standoff in 2016. If all of this isn't enough, she joined other elected officials in support of white supremacist Nick Fuentes' AFPAC meeting, sending a recorded video. She initially said she didn't know who he was, but then confessed that she did. Despite demands that she step down, McGeachin continues on defending her actions.

Greg Abbott

Governor, Texas

Greg Abbott is already the governor of Texas, but he is running for reelection this year, and possibly seeking the presidency in 2024. Although less outrageous than some of his counterparts here, he is no less dangerous. He has been running roughshod over people's rights with some seriously draconian legislation.

In May of 2021, Abbott signed the nation's most restrictive abortion law, banning abortions after just six weeks.  Women often have no idea that they are pregnant within the first six weeks. And since the countdown for those six weeks starts from the first day of a woman's last period, it actually provides only about a two-week window. The bill provides no exceptions for rape or incest. The bill also creates 'abortion bounty hunters' as citizens will be able to sue clinics, doctors, nurses, and even those who drive a woman to have the procedure for $10,000. They do not even have to reside in Texas to sue.

He followed this up in September with a bill that limits the use of abortion pills after seven weeks and prevents them from being delivered via mail. Abbott also took aim at parents of transgender youth by ordering them to be investigated for child abuse if they allow gender-affirming care, with no concern about the effects this abusive law has on transgender kids and their parents.

Abbott also called on others to report parents of transgender youth, and warned that if they do not, they too could face criminal penalties. A Texas judge has blocked that bill and has ordered a hearing to begin in July. Abbott should not be reelected.
