One far-right leader ousted. Another barely hangs on. Is Shasta rejecting MAGA politics?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Shasta County voters have booted from office a key figure in the county's hard-right shift, even as the fate of a second far-right crusader on the powerful Board of Supervisors still hangs in the balance.

Patrick Jones, a former chair of the five-member board, was soundly defeated in the Super Tuesday election, according to results released by the county registrar Friday afternoon. With 98% of the vote counted, Jones' opponent, Matt Plummer, a nonprofit adviser, was winning outright with nearly 60% of the vote.

It marked a stunning turn for Jones, a gun store manager who in his one term in office has emerged as a leading voice in an ultraconservative insurgence that transformed this largely rural Northern California county into a national poster child for hard-right governance and election denialism.

In recent months, Jones led the conspiracy-laden charge to dump Dominion voting machines and return the county to hand-counting its ballots. He helped push through a county resolution pledging fealty to the 2nd Amendment and a measure to allow concealed weapons in local government buildings, in defiance of state law.

4. There are some liberals in Shasta County engaged in a heated and

serious battles just to make Shasta County sane again. The sane folks gather at anewscafe.com and are good example of activists for us all.

Besides the militia gun nuts, there is the Bethel Church that is all 7 Mountains and involved in the politics and economy. Sean Feucht who was allegedly with Brobert is part of that mess. Don't think he was with Brobert in fact.

Here are two recent articles and discussion in comments of Jones. Crye who may be recalled but close is just as big a dirtbag and one can find more about the evil man than wants to know at the news cafe link. Also include an older link about Feucht so no need to search. The news cafe is loaded and the battle is far from over,
