QAnon Thought Leader Ron Watkins Is Running for Congress. It's Going Terribly.

When Ron Watkins announced he was running for Congress in Arizona in the middle of October, he was full of hope and bravado.

“I am going to raise at least a million dollars, and I’m going to win so that the people have a real voice in Washington, D.C.,” he told VICE News at the time.

Three months later, however, Watkins’ campaign appears dead in the water after his first campaign finance report reveals the former administrator of 8kun, the fringe message board where QAnon flourished, has raised just over $30,000 in donations.

Watkins filed his first campaign finance report just before the deadline passed at midnight on Monday, revealing that in the three months to the end of December, he raised just $30,588.22 in small donations from supporters.

His campaign received an additional cash injection of $2,354 in the form of a loan from his father Jim Watkins, who owns 8kun.

1. The documentary about he, his son, and Fred is hard to describe.

Buts it’s much worth a watch. 6 parts if memory serves.

3. It's definitely worth a watch

Thank the goddesses, the son's campaign is not getting traction. Both these men, father and son, are purposely destructive trolls who have taken great glee in spreading their destructive impulses/poison across the country.

They belong in jail, not office.

8. "destructive trolls" is right!

I've been saying for a long time, I look at this Q stuff as a *chan troll thing, probably one of the most successful trolls in history, but a troll thing nonetheless. You know?

All these Q followers have been tricked and manipulated for the amusement of trolls, some US, a lot from Russia.

That's what they call that?

It's a bit like a eunuch running an orgy.
