Re Making it Harder-Harder to Vote
It will be the hill the old white men finally die on.
Y’all told us what we can and cannot do with our money. Our body. Our vote.
You rattled your gd ice for a refill one too many times.

18% of those who had heard of QAnon said they believed the group’s claims were at least somewhat accurate, down 6 points since October.
24% of Republicans who had heard of QAnon said they believe QAnon’s claims, a 14-point decrease from the 38% who said the same in October.
So one quarter of Republicans still believe in Q Anon.
