Belief in insane conspiracy theories doesn't discriminate by education, but Qanon is still fairly fringe—the most recent polling I can find indicates that even among Republicans, only 24 percent of those who have heard about the conspiracy actually believe in it (Which is still a horrifying number). There's definitely room here for the Dems to tar Republicans with the "insane extremist" brush, which may help them in holding on to the gains they made in the suburbs in 2018 and 2020.

Engineers are heavily overrepresented in terrorist groups, and it’s not because they’re recruited for their technical skills.

Maybe they can include DA civilians. They were the loving worst in TRADOC. I'll never forget my first day. Some piece of poo poo wore some sort of Texas succession T-shirt that went something like "you're lucky we don't invade you!" God, that still makes me so mad.

I don't see why you wouldn't hire bodyguards instead, senior congress critters have enough money and pull for that, gun enthusiasts barely train enough for that sbit let alone some 78 yr old congressman whose probably never needed a threat greater than "my daddy owns the company"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/02/03/biden-stimulus-checks-what-you-need-to-know I can't read the whole article because wapo wants money for their trash magazine and I won't pay it, but looks like democrats are trying to forcefully unelect themselves. Stimulus checks of $1400 for people making under 50k and $2800 for married couples I guess making under 100k. Good to see the senate and house both flip in 2022 coming from here. Edit: based on the 2019 tax year

So assuming you believe 600 under Trump + 1400 under Dems = 2k under Dems, even by those terms everyone who made more than 50k in 2019 (regardless of 2020 income) are still getting the promise broken. Also it looks like UI will be less than under the cares act.
