Gina Joy Carano is a former mixed martial artist and actress, perhaps most widely known for her appearances in The Mandalorianand subsequent spat with Disney due to her being a gibbering lunatic and bigot – and like so many wingnut assholes, she is both paranoid and melodramatic, having predictably reacted to pushback against and criticism of her political views by likening being a conservative in the US today to Nazi genocide of Jewish people. Among the offending claims are repeated promotion of conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, where Carano has alleged – with no more evidence than Donald Trump – massive voter fraud.
Carano is also known for her COVID-denialism, and her fallout with various Hollywood projects was largely due to her refusing to followvarious COVID-19 measures. And of course there are conspiracy theories afoot; indeed, Carano believes thatthe war in Ukraine is a government conspiracy to control the public through fear, and was started because “they” had “lost control of the covid narrative” (a “scripted reality show sacrificing innocent lives for unquenchable greed”). Yes, the US Democrats (it is always about the US) is really controlling Russia, and can easily force Putin to start a war to help them wag the dog when they are backed up against the wall by a couple of deranged wingnut conspiracy theorists like Carano. (It’s of course not the only conspiracy theory she’s been pushing.)
And yes, she is, of course, anti-vaccine.
Diagnosis: Tiresomely predictable and nonsensical. It’s hard to gauge her influence, though, given that most of the dingbats rallying to her support are already part of the tinfoil hat brigade, but she sure doesn’t make any positive contribution.
