    Again as an outsider, I don't understand how she's still around

    Because getting rid of Congressional Reps other than their constituents voting them out is actually pretty tough (by design, for good or ill).

    did any of this stuff come out before she got elected? was this another case of the democrats not even trying to run an opposing candidate?

    Yeah, most of it was out before she even ran.

    Her constituents did not care. She had an R next to her name and her opponent had a D. That's all that mattered.

    Also the D-candidate quit in September. He got served with divorce papers and ordered to leave his house. He couldn't afford a secondary residence in the district and thus no longer qualified. Because it was within 60 days of the election he could not be replaced on the ballot.

    I over simplified it. Long but decent read. A rather important peek into why "decent" people fail so hard running against the Q folks.

    That sort of statement is pretty common among conservatives, at least in my experience, in the USA

    Also, totalitarian state capitalist whatever the fuck it actually is, it's not anything like the communism or socialism anyone actually talks about in almost any context "Communist China" is constantly used as a straw man against things like Obamacare

    There’s a whole cottage industry of conservative “commentators” whose bread and butter is essentially to play word games until “socialism” can be equated with fascism/totalitarianism/slavery/whatever

    Calling them pseudo-intellectuals would be an insult to intellectuals and pseudos both

    I occasionally interact with a client at work who regurgitates this stuff given the slightest pretext and it’s maddening
