Time For Laura Loomer's Fifteen Minutes

I've been trying to understand Laura Loomer a bit better. She was born in Tucson in 1993; daughter of a doctor, with a mentally-ill brother, and part of the Jewish community. I was in Tucson from 1980-88, and had some contact with the Jewish community there. Maybe just having been part of the milieu I might have gained some special insight on her upraising. 

But no. There's that extra element. For example, just by having been in Los Angeles in the late 60s doesn't mean you understand the Manson family. With Laura Loomer, that element seems to have come from childhood neglect, and that most-toxic of babysitters, being plopped in front of a TV tuned to FOX News. Everything else follows.
