A coalition of right-wing MAGA candidates, including multiple Trump-backed candidates, are seeking to take control of elections in states across the U.S.—and one says they’re formally working with a group of conspiracy theorists, as well as with a QAnon influencer who some in the conspiracy movement believe is John F. Kennedy Jr. in disguise.

The group consists of five GOP candidates running for the key election position of secretary of state in Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Georgia, and California, as well as one Pennsylvania lawmaker who may run for governor, which in Pennsylvania appoints the secretary of state. According to one of the candidates, it also has support from wealthy conspiracy theorists Mike Lindell and Patrick Byrne.

The reported coalition is just the latest example of how extreme QAnon-inspired conspiracy theories about election fraud and vote-rigging have become pervasive in the Republican Party, and how those conspiracies are now driving this group to seek to take control of key election positions across the country ahead of the 2024 election.

The existence of the group, which doesn’t seem to have a name, was revealed by Nevada secretary of state candidate Jim Marchant at the “For God & Country: Patriot Double Down” conference that took place in Las Vegas over the weekend.

1. So a bunch of conspiracy theorists are... secretly working with each other to get a very dogmatic

And extremist agenda done…?

There’s a word for that, I think it rhymes with ‘funspiracy’.

2. "For God & Country: Patriot Double Down"

Who knew God was a blackjack enthusiast?

3. Well yeah, as long as they win

If they go home broke though, the game was rigged against them because of the antifa blackjack dealers.

4. They are very dangerous -- and they could succeed if they obtain power

In a way they are Trump's means to cheat his way back into power by creating a "cabal" of key officials who will declare his the winner no matter what.

5. They're not good gamblers...

Who doubles down on a 17? Or against one???

They think it's a game.
They think they're living in a Bible Story.
They are all divorced from reality.
