Seriously though, why do they think the libs drink baby blood? Where is the proof of that? It's just blood libel at this point.

It’s blood libel. I believe it actually predated the whole Q thing in modern history among the far right conspiracy groups but it really took off once social media gave them a place to spread it.

It's anti-semitism. It goes back to at least the 16th century and possibly further back. It was the accusation that Jewish people were killing (sometimes by crucifixion) Christian children and drinking their blood.

This is merely the newest iteration of it and the idiots swallow it hook, line, and sinker.

Exactly this, however in the USA it's being repurposed and expanded to include anyone who threatens the Right wing minority rule. Whatever the Republican party has become can't win majority rule except in gerrymandered districts or areas that are red like rural areas.

They've expanded their wrath to include anyone they can use to create fake outrage - gay people, trans, drag queens and to include immigrants and minorities who are poised to be an overwhelming majority vote in the next decade. Their media manufactures outrage porn, first to get them to vote, but as they lose the majority in more places, to normalize fascism and insurrection and voting shenanigans and election related violence. Americans need to reject this absolutely with each election and our justice system needs to prosecute and convict these people to the fullest extent of the law or the US is done.

The USA came really close in 2021 to not being a thing anymore.
