The drama seem to be continuing over on the hard right, as literally no sooner did I finish my prior post on the infighting at the ripple chip group than someone sent me the latest missive from goofball mattress guy Chris Larson.
So goofy mattress guy Larson, a 2% Hansen supporter – is throwing shade at the 4% Doeden supporters, noting that they are the ones who caused an implosion of the Patriot Ripple Effect group, and that supposedly former NDGOP ED Dave Roetman has been “spearheading a stealth Doeden campaign” for months.
In Sioux Falls, there is a prominent group that formed roughly 4 years ago by the name of Patriot Ripple Effect (PRE). I was a member of this group for the past 2 years until about 6 weeks ago, when I decided to very publicly quit the group. My reason for doing this was not “to be divisive”, but to shed light on the fact that I had identified 2 sitting board members who were sneaking around doing campaign work for Toby Doeden. Toby has never been a member of PRE, nor helped them in any tangible way.
and..
I have made very clear my opinion that the heavily advertised astro-turfed campaign of Toby Doeden is being supported and helped along by hidden actors in the Establishment, most likely without Toby’s awareness whatsoever. I have no hard evidence to present to you at this stage of the game, but I feel it in my bones, and I suspect many of you do also.
In totally related news, the two Operators at the core of the near implosion of PRE and the Battle Royale that is taking place in the MCGOP have both been spearheading a stealth campaign for Toby Doeden these past 2 months.
and..
The man who nearly destroyed PRE is named Dave Roetman.
Read that for yourselves here. (and my apologies in advance that I sent you there).
So goofy mattress guy is saying the man who had a very, very short tenure in North Dakota because he suggested a black woman move to Wakanda…
is supposedly working to elect Toby Doeden, the guy who tried to bring Mark “I’m a Black Nazi” Robinson to Sioux Falls?
Okay. I got nothing here. This is just too much for words. If you get to November 4, 2026 and wonder “how did Republicans lose all those elections?” some of these characters might be the number one reason why.
A pox on all their houses.
Those of us who fixate on food most of the time instead over fixating on the insaner side of politics are left to wonder if the Ripple Chip fellows are of the tangy but ordinary sour cream and onion style or the spicy dill pickle kettle style with a whomp-kick in nature.
grudznick is guessing these Ripple Chippers are bland. I have seen no evidence to the contrary.
“Whatever grassroots group you may be in, whichever County Republican Party you belong to, you must understand that somewhere deep in there is a mole, a spy or a sabatour. Or all of them in one person.” says who we suspect is one of the moles Chris Larson.
Larson is a lightweight. Keep on truckin’ Toby!
The only place Toby is truckin’ to is the line at the closest buffet. Get out of the echo chamber.
Is the goofy mattress guy the same one that advertises on Dakota Scout podcast?
I can’t help but hope that Mr. Larson ends up pulling a pillow guy and spends so much of his time and money on politics that his business goes down the drain. There are so many similarities. No one elected either of them as the expert, yet they both seem to think they are. Parallels are actually kind of stunning.
What is it about sleeping accessories that causes them to go nuts?! Bizarre.
Are we going to have a camping cot guy soon spouting off about vaccinations? Or a cotton sheet king ranting about immigrants? Who knows?
MAGA has crossed the chasm. After saving up for a couple of years (constant slander makes a poor man), I bought MyPillows for the entire family. I have never slept better.
Ugh. Not me. They have me a free travel size pillow to try it out. So lumpy! I had a crick in my neck for a week!
I don’t know about the rest of you, but for me, someone “feeling something in their bones” lacks the full impactful veracity of having bona fide evidence and facts. I’m not sayin’, I’m just sayin’.
