Georgia GOP Chair Goes Full Flat-Earth, Says Globes Are Part of a Conspiracy

Kandiss Taylor, a recently elected GOP District Chair in Georgia, would like to know why Big Globe won’t stop shoving round-Earth propaganda down our throats.

In an interview with David Weiss (AKA “Flat Earth Dave”) and Matt Long on her “Jesus, Guns, and Babies” podcast, Taylor and her guests discussed biblical “evidence” that the Earth is actually flat as a pancake. “The people that defend the globe don’t know anything about the globe,” said Weiss. “If they knew a tenth of what Matt and I know about the globe they would be Flat Earthers.”

"All the globes, everywhere” Taylor said later in the discussion. “I turn on the TV, there’s globes in the background … Everywhere there’s globes. You see them all the time, it’s constant. My children will be like ‘Mama, globe, globe, globe, globe’ — they’re everywhere.”

“That’s what they do, to brainwash,” she added. “For me if it’s not a conspiracy. If it is real, why are you pushing so hard everywhere I go? Every store, you buy a globe, there’s globes everywhere. Every movie, every TV show, news media — why? More and more I’m like, it doesn’t make sense.”

Not sure I want what she's smoking because it strikes me as permanent.

[Tiny]

Enough people voted for her to get her into office.

What the hell Georgia?!?!  I really wanted to visit Savannah sometime soon, but I just can't give my tourist money to a state that elects such moronic people!

[busymom]

Sadly, the politicians in Florida are worse.  But apparently, not by much...


Remember, Trump loves the uneducated.  Apparently that's what the current GOP is composed of.

It feels like most of the East coast states south of the mid-Atlantic states are bent on proving why they went with the South for the civil war. Some very beautiful states, nice beaches, etc. I do agree though, I wouldn't want to reward the state with any tourism dollars.

So think Ocean CIty, MD. and north up to the Maine coast. MHO. And take me with you!  <--- attempts to look cute & friendly.

I wanted to visit someplace spooky for Halloween this year, and thought of Savannah.  But I guess I will just go to Salem like everyone else does. lol

I've heard, thats why I wanted to go somewhere else, but Savannah is probably pretty busy in October as well.  Same with New Orleans.  I guess Ill have to keep searching for a place to celebrate. Halloween is my major holiday!

Yep, I can't believe these people are allowed to walk free.  No brain cells.  We have an older man in our neighborhood that has been driving his golf cart around on the weekends through the subdivision.  He has two flags attached to the rear seat, one is the American flag, and the other flag reads "Trump Nation".  I kid you not.  Do these people not understand the legal trouble he is in right now?  There is a reason for that, he is a crook.  He definitely does not deserve anyone's support.  I can't understand how he is running for president again and people are supporting him.  They have lost their minds.

Serious question, if the Earth is flat there must be an edge. Where do they say that is?

Let me know, and I'll push a few folks off 

[laterbloomer]

And where is she seeing all these globes. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a globe. I wouldn't know what store to go to buy one. I visit Costco, Walmart, Home Depot, and Michael's on a regular basis and I don't remember seeing any globes. Just maybe, and it's a big maybe, I saw one at a furniture store some time. But I don't remember it.

Follow a herd of cats. If the earth is flat, cats will knock Mt.Everest, the Taj Mahal, Eifel Tower, Empire State Building and the like off the earth's edge.

[laterbloomer]

And what benefit would there be to lying about the shape of the earth? I admit I never ever read the conspiracy theorists if I know what it is ahead of time, but I don't understand what difference it makes to anyone in any way if the earth is either flat or round. Except for some science equations it has absolutely no impact on my daily life.

[pulmonarymd]

These people don't respond to logic. They wouldn't be conspiracy theorists if they did

Easy. The edge is where all the cats congregate to push everything off per my current sleep-T

I think we should just put ropes up various places saying stay back, end of earth in 50 ft or whatever and see what they do.

Oh no, you MUST visit Savannah. Downtown Savannah is not the conservative white bastion the rest of the State is. It’s one of my two favorite Southern cities to visit.  And October is usually a really good time to visit - not the baking sauna that is Savannah in the summer, but warm enough you probably won’t need a coat.  Plus it’s legal to walk around downtown with an open adult beverage in your hand. 

If you want a spooky visit, stay at a B and B in one of the downtown houses that have been turned into inns. Everyone I’ve stayed at claims to have a ghost. Plenty of ghost tours, including the ghost pub crawl.  Eat at the Pink House, which has a ghost in the lady’s room off the bar, or the Scottish pub near the city market, which has a lot of spirits of the other kind. Plus Tybee Island is very close, and it will be warm enough to sit on the beach, and then stop at the Crab Shack on the way back to town, to sit at the outside tables with the cats. I’m sure they have rednecks, but mostly Savannah is pretty loose (probably due to it having the SCAD campus - Southern Collage of Art and Design) plus the fact they all drink like fishes.

From what I can tell they think the edge is hidden out in the ocean and there is a grand conspiracy for maybe the last thousand years that every sailor that went far enough out to see it is somehow sworn to secrecy or something. Or maybe if you get close enough to see the edge you fall off.   That’s why no witnesses exist?

have they never been up in an airplane?  have they never taken a 14 hour flight to the other side of the Earth?  how do they explain day and night?

when people start debating settled science, it is time to ignore them, not put them on stage.

if the Earth were flat, most of what we know about it would make no sense.

for example, the gravitational attraction on an flat plate would be horizontal, and would tend to zero as you reached the middle.  so, people on the middle of the flat earth would float away, and those near the edge would have to stand as if they were climbing a rock.

if gravity doesn't work, there is no atmosphere either.  which means that breathing is kind of out of the question.  and the oceans would not stay put.  in fact, they would boil, because without an atmosphere pushing down on them, there would be no barometric pressure sufficient to keep water liquid.

in other words, their dumb idea about how things are makes everything around us not make any sense at all.  which is great, if you don't think science is real and provable.  except that is the opposite of truth.  so, what kind of universe do you want?

I agree. The downside to the internet is that even crazy people get a stage.

But I still don't understand what difference it makes if the earth is flat or round.

Again, I agree. Which is why I can't wrap my head around people believing it.

[djAdvocate]

i just find it infuriating because it is so simple and elegant as a sphere.  everything makes sense.  everything passes the test of logic, human experience, and science.  and it is a beautiful thing BECAUSE of that fact.

why have a flat, ugly thing?  spheres are beautiful!  how can you not love a sphere?

[djAdvocate]

we have known this for nearly 2500 years:


starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/StarChild/questions/question54.html



i hadn't thought of eclipses.  how do they explain the shape of shadows during a lunar and solar eclipse?  when you have to explain away everything with your theory, it is time to toss out the theory.

[Tiny]

I find it very odd that Ms. Taylor is has never encountered the weirdness of time zones in daily governmental work.

Surely, she has had a conference call or video conference or an email from someone in the UK, Europe or Africa or the Pacific Rim.

I've been in video conferences with people in London, Sydney and Hong Kong and it's pretty gosh darn obvious that we are in different time zones I'm sitting in early morning daylight and the other people are late afternoon or LATE evening and OH MY GOD!!! We're all talking to one another in real time!   How does a flat earther explain that? 

That's just got to blow a flat earthers mind...


My goodness! Ms. Taylor's everyday life must be filled with magic and mystery. She must just be so fearful at night, in the dark, when it's quiet. Who knows what horrors are lurking and waiting to get her. Cause if the earth is flat - then I'm pretty sure that means the Eldrich horrors are just waiting to awaken... "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"

I'm pretty sure she can't prove Cthulhu DOESN"T exist...

Hmmm, in a few weeks, I will have gone in a circle around the world  Haven’t found the edge yet.  Exactly where is the edge?  

This is not a little disturbing.
