2020 strikes again - Laura Loomer WINS GOP FL-21 Primary

[NYSforKennedy2024]

Anti-SJW journalist, troll, conspiracy theorist, and questionable member of the Alt-Right Laura Loomer actually won her primary tonight, and will face Rep. Lois Frankel in November.

If you would've told me in 2016 that the first person of the whole "anti-SJW"/intellectual deep web movement to get into office would be Loomer, I'd laugh at you. Now she's heading to November.

Will she win, and form some kind of QAnon Caucus with Marjorie Taylor Greene?

Zero chance she wins thankfully, but man, I can't imagine a more annoying, nutty representative.  I honestly think I'd rather have Michele Bachmann or Paul Gosar.

If you want to be alarmist, here's an obligatory reminder that her own internal had her winning the primary and the general elections.

If you want to be a bit more realistic, said internal had her at 51% in the primary with her nearest challenger at 4% and, in the general, it suggested she'd get 65% of independents, 93% of Republicans, 22% of Democrats and 50% of "other" voters.

Get ready for the hype/grift train.

this crazy woman actually won?

The radical really likes to make martyrs out of otherwise unlikeable people. Hope you enjoy these types of congressmen. I would vote for her if I could just to shove it in the face of censors.

Casual reminder that FL21 is only 58% white, D+9 by CPVI, and 59/39 Clinton. It's relatively normal that the most devout/radical win the primaries in noncompetitive seats, they are the only ones who want to run doomed campaigns. It occurs in both parties, its just that the dems just focused on getting serious candidates everywhere in 2018, and the Republicans have let the crazies go off the deep end as seen with Loomer.

Laura Loomer sounds like someone that Superman dated at one point because of her initials.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

We live in a society.

This is among the stupider things to happen this year so far, but it's very on brand for Florida Republicans. Thankfully, she'll get absolutely smoked in the general.
