Prominent kitty litter conspiracy theorist running for the North Dakota Legislature
In more serious-minded times, someone like Jennifer Benson announcing her candidacy for the state Legislature in Fargo's District 41 would have been fodder for much laughter and mirth and not a lot of serious consideration.
We don't live in those times. We live in a simulation of the movie "Idiocracy," where someone like Benson has a good shot of earning enough votes to serve in Bismarck, if only because she's running in a Republican district as a Republican.
Take, for instance, her 2022 claims, as a member of the Fargo School Board, that school districts in the Fargo-Moorhead area were accommodating "furries" (kids with a largely harmless hobby involving dressing up as animals) with kitty litter boxes. "The students I have talked to say ‘furries are everywhere, they are in all of our schools,’” Benson wrote in an email to The Forum at the time. “They said ‘furries wear collars, tails, headband ears, leashes, and some hiss and bark.’”
“In one of my conversations this afternoon," Benson further claimed, "a student did inform me there are now litter boxes in Moorhead school restroom(s)."
Benson apparently believed, and expected the public to believe, that kids were pooing and peeing in litter boxes in the schools.

I guess the question now is how long until Republicans nominate a flat-earther for some elections?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
