In New Hampshire, Republican voters just nominated the kind of general Masters appears to have in mind as their nominee for the Senate. Don Bolduc has endorsed a range of conspiracies from the Big Lie to the supposed presence of microchips in mRNA covid vaccines.

Sam Adler-Bell has done an excellent job of highlighting the threat of violence running through Blake Masters’ campaign. Masters’ comments show how many of the far right see the military as something to be subjugated to their political worldview.
