Tom Cotton, Josh Hawley, and Ted Cruz are not the future of the Republican Party. Neither is Donald Trump Jr., Nikki Haley, or Marco Rubio. Nor will it be Never Trumpers like Larry Hogan, Mitt Romney or the folks behind the Lincoln Project.

The future of the Republican Party very well may be Marjorie Taylor Greene — the QAnon conspiracy theory believer and future Congresswoman from Georgia. Greene is one of eleven QAnon supporting Republican Congressional nominees on the ballot this fall.

The GOP embracing a movement considered a “domestic terror threat” by the FBI was not pre-ordained, but it is what they are choosing through reflexive cowardice and political convenience.

What is QAnon?

The Pro-Trump conspiracy theory is wide-ranging, very confusing and quite dangerous. But it centers around the idea that Donald Trump is secretly fighting a child-trafficking network controlled by a global cabal of Deep State elites. In the world of QAnon, Donald Trump is always in control and Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and other Democrats are always on the precipice of being sent to Guantanamo Bay. Information about this conspiracy is dispensed by a mysterious alleged individual named “Q.”

If you are interested in learning more, I recommend this explainer from the Daily Beast’s Will Sommer who has covered this story as closely as anyone.
