“Anonymous Q”: Trump’s Conspiracy Theory Cult
The 2020 American elections are very exciting. The suspenseful billing process for the presidential elections and the competition with the media from both sides have firmly drawn the world’s attention.
However, most people may not pay specific attention. The House and Senate elections held at the same time as the presidential elections also saw some “firsts” in American history: for example, the first transgender senator in American history. A “post-90” congressman and the first congressman to publicly express his belief in a conspiracy theory, etc.
The BBC hereby counts some of the “firsts” who may not be well known in this general election.

Sarah McBride Becomes First Transgender Person Elected Federal Senator
Democrat Sarah McBride defeated Republican opponents to win the seat of federal senator for Delaware and is poised to become the first transgender senator in American history.
McBride is 30 years old. Before running for election, he served as the press secretary for an activist organization for gay and bisexual rights called “Human Rights Activities” in the United States. He also served as an intern at the White House during the Obama presidency.
In addition to McBride, several transgender or non-binary genders are reported to have been newly elected state legislators.

At just 25 years old, Madison Cawthorne became the first American congressman born in the 1990s.
The Republican Party won elections for the Federal House of Representatives in Madison Cawthorn, North Carolina, and will become the first congressman born after 1990 in American history.
Cawthorne just celebrated his 25th birthday in August, meeting the minimum age required by US law to be a member of the House of Representatives.
However, some media reports have noted that the post-90 generation was controversial because they faced allegations of sexual assault during the elections.

Marjory Green becomes the first lawmaker in US history to publicly endorse conspiracy theories
Marjorie Taylor Greene, who won the seat of the Georgia State House of Representatives, was called by the US media as the first congresswoman to publicly support conspiracy theories.
What Green publicly supports is a far-right conspiracy theory called “QAnon.” Without providing any credible evidence, the aforementioned conspiracy theory claims that President Trump (Trump) is involved in a secret war with some pedophiles who believe in the demon Satan of America’s political, business and media elites.
Green has specially recorded a video to publicly support the “Anonymous Q” conspiracy theory. However, after running for election, he also tried to downplay this issue many times during media interviews.

John Glenn became the first astronaut in American history to be elected to the Senate in 1974.
